After broadcaster Park Soo-hong and his family disembarked from the plane and reboarded, sparking controversy over a delayed departure, "mommy cafes" have also expressed reactions that they cannot understand Park Soo-hong.

On the 26th, on a major mommy cafe with over 400,000 members, most responses showed criticism regarding the controversy surrounding Park Soo-hong's family causing trouble during aircraft boarding.

Netizens posted reactions such as, "It's understandable if a baby cries, but they are causing too much inconvenience to others," "If this were not a celebrity, would this have been possible? This is not something that should be overlooked," "The saying 'being a celebrity is an official post' is correct," and "What about the passengers who rode with them?"

Additionally, one user recalled their own experience: "Recently, due to weather in Phu Quoc, we had an emergency landing in Ho Chi Minh City and were waiting. Someone wanted to get off, causing a huge commotion, but I calmed everyone down by saying it's absolutely not allowed, that they must remove their luggage and go through security checks again, resulting in a two-hour delay... I never thought such a situation would involve Park Soo-hong."

On an online community, a post from a passenger who boarded a Korean Air flight to Guam on the 23rd was published. According to the post, Park Soo-hong's family boarded Korean Air Flight KE415 bound for Guam from Incheon International Airport on the 23rd.

According to the poster's claim, when Park Soo-hong's 22-month-old daughter kept crying on the plane, the Park family insisted on voluntarily disembarking from the aircraft.

According to Korean Air, "voluntary disembarkation" refers to a passenger who has completed departure procedures and boarded the flight refusing to fly due to their own will and getting off the aircraft. Requests are often made for various reasons such as health issues or loss of belongings.

Korean Air stated in an official post that "once you board a plane, it is difficult to get off at will."

In connection with this, Park Soo-hong posted on his Instagram on the 26th: "Recently, our family caused a delayed departure during the flight departure process. This resulted in significant inconvenience by taking away many people's precious time and also caused damage to airline staff. I sincerely apologize with my head bowed."

He continued, "At that time, immediately after boarding, the child was crying so much that we could not take our seats, causing panic and leading to an immature judgment. Since it seemed like the child's crying would cause greater inconvenience to passengers during the long flight, I conveyed my intention to get off to the cabin staff." He added, "While waiting on board, the child stopped crying, and we expressed our intention to reboard, but we failed to realize that this could significantly delay time due to security checks and other procedures. This was entirely due to my ignorance of aviation-related procedures, leaving no room for any excuse."

He concluded, "Once again, I bow my head in deep apology to the passengers and airline staff who suffered great inconvenience due to my shortcomings."
