Broadcasters Park Soo-hong and his wife Kim Da-ye recently faced controversy after delaying the departure of a Korean Air flight to Guam, and have now temporarily suspended their YouTube activities.

Park Soo-hong had been posting videos related to parenting and daily life every Monday through his YouTube channel 'Park Soo-hong Happy Daehong.' The main notice on the YouTube channel also states under the name of responsible producer Kim Da-ye: "Uploaded every Monday at 5 PM."

However, after apologizing for the recent controversy over the delayed departure of a Korean Air flight, Park stopped his social media activities and ultimately did not proceed with the YouTube upload scheduled for August 31 without any prior notice.

Earlier, on the 23rd, Park Soo-hong's family boarded Korean Air Flight KE415 from Incheon International Airport to Guam along with their 22-month-old daughter, Jae-i-yang. As Jae-i-yang continued crying on the plane, the Park family requested voluntary disembarkation, stating they would get off the aircraft. Voluntary disembarkation refers to a passenger requesting to leave the plane due to personal reasons. From Park's perspective, he requested to disembark to avoid causing trouble due to his child's crying, but this backfired. While the Park family's luggage was taken out of the cabin, once the baby stopped crying, they canceled their request to disembark and boarded the plane again to head to Guam. Due to reasons such as reloading the Park family's luggage onto the aircraft, it was reported that the flight's departure on that day was delayed by about one hour.

When the incident became controversial, Park Soo-hong conveyed an apology through his personal account on the 26th. Park stated, "Recently, a delay in departure occurred due to our family during the flight departure process. This caused significant inconvenience by taking away many people's precious time and also caused damage to airline staff. For this reason, I sincerely offer my deepest apologies with my head bowed."

Park continued, "At that time, immediately after boarding, the child was crying so much that we could not take our seats, leading to a panicked and immature decision. Concerned that the child's crying would cause greater inconvenience to passengers during the long flight, I initially conveyed my intention to disembark to the cabin staff. However, once the child stopped crying while waiting in the cabin, we expressed our desire to board again, 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 added, "Once again, I bow my head and offer a deep apology to the passengers and airline staff who suffered great harm due to my shortcomings."

Park Soo-hong uploaded content to his YouTube channel on the 24th after arriving in Guam on the 23rd, but following the emergence of this controversy and the posting of an apology letter, he has temporarily suspended all social media activities.

At that time, Korean Air stated that since the passenger did not actually open the aircraft door and step outside, there was no major issue with canceling the disembarkation request and maintaining boarding.
