Singer Bobby Kim spoke candidly about the trauma he has experienced since his in-flight disturbance incident 11 years ago.

Bobby Kim appeared as a guest on a video released on the YouTube channel ‘Noppakku Tak Jae-hoon’ on the 4th.

In the video, Tak Jae-hoon asked, “This isn’t your first time being called in for an investigation. It’s said that you developed seat-related trauma and now have the habit of double-checking whether a bus seat is a senior citizen seat or your own wheelchair space.” Bobby Kim replied, “I’m extremely sensitive about it. I’ve developed PTSD and trauma.”

Tak Jae-hoon then asked, “These were incidents caused by misunderstandings, but do you board that airline when attending events these days?” Bobby Kim answered, “I still haven’t boarded it,” while adding, “But I plan to board it in the future. I didn’t have many opportunities to fly with them anyway. There’s no problem at all.”

Bobby Kim was indicted on charges of causing a disturbance while intoxicated on a Korean Air passenger plane bound for San Francisco, USA, in January 2015, and was sentenced to a fine of 4 million won.

Subsequently, Bobby Kim appeared on the YouTube show ‘Pisik Show’ in December 2025, acknowledging that he had caused a disturbance on the plane and apologizing, separately from the airline’s mistakes.

At the time, Bobby Kim explained that although he had purchased a business class ticket using airline miles, he was assigned an economy seat due to two errors made by the airline, resulting in a frustrating situation. The MCs empathized, stating that the airline had clearly made mistakes and should have apologized to Bobby Kim. Nevertheless, Bobby Kim said he wanted to apologize for causing a disturbance on the plane, answering coolly, “I hope such an incident never happens again.”
