South Korea’s Presidential Plane Takes Off, Sparking Chaos and Questions

On the 10th, the South Korean Military Human Rights Center announced that it had confirmed that the presidential aircraft, Air Force Plane 1, had taken off from Seoul Airport in Seongnam, Gyeonggi Province, around 10 a.m. President Yoon Seok-yeol, who declared a state of emergency on the 3rd, was banned from leaving the country by the Ministry of Justice on the 9th. The Kukmin Ilbo reported on the 10th, “The Military Human Rights Center announced in an emergency notice on the morning of the 10th that ‘before the presidential plane takes off, the plane is maintained by the 35th Air Force Squadron and the flight plan is notified to the air control tower, but there was no maintenance or flight plan notification before takeoff that day.” When the information about the plane’s departure was released, it caused chaos in South Korea, with people asking, “Is the president, who is banned from leaving the country, on board? Where is he heading?” However, several media outlets, including the South Korean media Herald Business, reported several hours after the Military Human Rights Center’s announcement that “the Presidential Security Service said it was a routine aircraft performance inspection flight.” The incident was a mishap,” the report said. Currently, there are many unknowns about President Yoon, including his whereabouts, and he has become the focus of attention of the Korean people and the media. 12/10 (Tue) 12:15 Nikkan Sports.
