Seongbuk district is one of the richest area shown on television to highlight the wealthy phenomena in South Korea but in reality, there is also an old slum town in the same district.

The script for “Seongbuk district Seongbuk resident” was written by locals who live in the slum town by asking them to imagine the life of people living ‘next door’. The characters were narrowed down to 7 different characters.
1.  Busy business woman with always on the phone
2. Depressedalcoholic Mrs.But only with wine
3.  Willing to revenge and full of Jealousy lady
4. Lady who always adding English when she speaks Korean
5.  Lady who writes poems and handling flowers all day
6.  Servent living in the house
7.  Not different to us
Actors and actresses who plays Luxurious characters in the soap opera also does not have luxury in real life, this video also includes the backstage scene of the set. The swap continues with the real locals, speaking the words from soap opera stars. The house gets filled up with stage-imaginative people and ends with real-life phatoms.
