Soyou posted a lengthy post on his SNS on the 31st and said, `I would like to convey the contents that are accurately organized as false facts and rumors are still spreading indiscriminately.'
Soyou was agonizing over a series of events that continued throughout the flight, and before landing, he wrote an inconvenience and received it through the cabin crew. And this week, we received an apology from Delta Air Lines via email..."
"Thank you to those who sympathized with what I went through and how I felt at the time and were worried, and I am sorry for causing any personal concern."I was able to return to my daily life thanks to those who cheered me up for my courage in writing," he said.
However, Soyou "False facts and rumors are still circulating to the point where he has to write another article correcting the facts."We will firmly respond to groundless speculation, unverified dissemination of false information, and insulting expressions that infringe on personal rights," he said, signaling legal action.
He "I will no longer comment on this through the public channel because I have been formally apologized for the problem. But I will correct the things that need to be corrected"I'll come back with good news from now on," he said.
Earlier, Soyou claimed on social media on the 19th that he was racist at Delta Air Lines in the United States.
He "I just asked for a Korean flight attendant to check the meal time while I was so tired, but the manager decided on my attitude, treated me like a problematic passenger, and even called for security." "I didn't eat anything during the flight for more than 15 hours. The experience remained a deep wound stemming from racial prejudice."
However, the controversy spread when witness A, who was on board with him, claimed "The possession was intoxicated at the time." Mr. A refused to eat on his own, saying he was tired while he was drunk"You shouldn't do 'It's unfair' and 'It's racism' in this way", he countered.
In response, Soyou countered head-on in an additional statement on the 20th, saying "The rumors of intoxication are not true."
Soyou only drank a small amount of liquor with a meal in the lounge before boarding, and there were no restrictions or problems in the boarding process"I asked for a flight attendant who could speak Korean to check the meal schedule after boarding the plane, but the English sentence was mistranslated and the office manager and security personnel came."
The manager then treated me with high pressure, but the misunderstanding was resolved when a Korean crew member at the scene explained the situation. After that, he asked for a Korean menu, but he continued to wonder, such as receiving only foreign language menus."
Possession was not for the purposes of compensation or disclosure, but in the hope that no one would ever go through the same thing again"I hope that the untrue content will not be inflated."
