Kenyan headed for South Korea accidentally traveled to North Korea

 A Kenyan national traveling to Pyeongchang, South Korea, said he mistakenly boarded an Air China flight to Pyongyang, North Korea, where he was accused of violating the law for traveling without a visa.

The Kenyan national said he did not suspect anything wrong, even after boarding an Air China flight to Pyongyang, North Korea.When he glanced out the plane window as he descended, however, the view below struck him as odd. "It seemed to me a very underdeveloped country," said Sapit, who was expecting to see the urbanized and industrialized cityscape of South Korea.

Sapit was eventually allowed to leave North Korea and board the correct flight to South Korea's Incheon Airport, but only after he signed a North Korean document admitting to violating laws, being detained for several hours, and paying for a new ticket and a fine of $500 for entering North Korea without a visa.
