North Korean Guys (Hangul: 동해물과 백두산이; RR: Donghaemul-gwa Baekdusan-i), also released as Lost in the South Mission: Going Home, is a 2003 South Korean comedy film directed by Ahn Jin-woo. The film depicts a pair of North Korean sailors who find themselves in South Korea and their subsequent attempts to return home.
Hard nosed North Korean naval officer Choi Baek-doo (Jung Joon-ho) and his light-hearted sergeant Lim Dong-hae (Gong Hyung-jin) go on a fishing trip in the Sea of Japan (East Sea). The pair fall asleep in their boat and are violently awoken by a squall. Clinging to their tiny craft, they struggle to survive the storm. By the time the storm passes, they have been washed deep into South Korean borders. Realizing their plight, they conceal their boat and explore their surroundings.
They are continually shocked by the culture of South Korea, but eventually recover their bearings and befriend a girl, Han Nara (Ryoo Hyun-kyung). Unfortunately for the sailors trapped in enemy territory, Nara is a runaway and her father is a police chief, which only makes it more difficult for them to blend in. After their repeated attempts to escape fail, they enter a talent contest in order to with the first place prize: a trip to Kumgang Mountain, North Korea.
