Park Soo-hong family's change of mind delays Korean Air flight by 51 minutes

A Korean Air flight from Incheon to Guam experienced a 51-minute delay due to an incident involving broadcaster Park Soo-hong's family. The disruption began when a child's crying prompted a request for the family to leave the plane, a decision that was subsequently reversed.

The situation sparked controversy online, with claims circulating that the family had disembarked and then re-boarded, raising questions about the possibility of such events for ordinary passengers. A post on an online community detailed the incident, stating that the flight was delayed by about an hour due to the family's change of mind and the subsequent reprocessing of their luggage.

Recently, a problem with delayed departure occurred due to my family during the flight departure process. I caused great inconvenience by taking up the precious time of many people, and I also caused damage to the airline staff.

Park Soo-hong addressed the controversy on his social media, apologizing for the inconvenience. He confirmed that a delay occurred due to his family but clarified that they did not actually leave the aircraft. He explained that while waiting inside the plane, a child began crying, leading to the initial request for disembarkation, which was then rescinded.

Contrary to what was reported online, Park Soo-hong did not disembark the aircraft at the time. He was waiting inside the cabin when a child started crying.
