Popular Singer Belatedly Apologizes For Past Scandal, Triggers Massive Reactions

Recently, a legendary singer appeared as a guest on Psick University’s YouTube channel and publicly apologized for his past actions.

On December 15, singer Bobby Kim appeared on the show and opened up about the 2015 in-flight disturbance.

Even though I purchased a business class ticket, they put me in economy. In short, they didn’t move me to business class.

Due to the seating issue, he recalled drinking wine because he was upset.

I was so upset that I drank a bit too much wine. At some point, I lost my memory. I caused a disturbance on the plane and seemed aggressive.

Hearing this, the hosts consoled him, stating, “It wasn’t entirely your fault, was it?”

To this, Bobby Kim offered a sincere apology.

It’s true that I caused a disturbance, so I wanted to apologize. I hope that something like this never happens again.

K-Netizens agreed that the incident was so unfair to him.

• “I would’ve been so frustrated, too.”
• “He has every right to be mad; it was a long flight…however, getting mad is another problem.”
• “There’s a huge difference in price for business and economy…”
• “It’s not like a short flight from Gimpo to Jeju, but to the U.S…I’d be mad too.”
• “I heard there was overbooking in business, but seeing them upgrade someone in economy and saying there’s no seats is just…”
• “I used to work at that airline during that time, and I can say that Bobby Kim was totally set up.”

Meanwhile, this incident started after the airline assigned him the wrong seat on a flight to San Francisco. At the time, he was indicted without detention on charges of causing a disturbance after a conflict with a flight attendant.
