Korean Air Unsure Of Disciplinary Action Towards Ticketing Official For Bobby Kim Incident

In the midst of the ongoing Bobby Kim investigation concerning his tussle with Korean Air employees, it was discovered that a wrong ticket was issued to the singer during the original incident. Korean Air has yet to decide what penalties will be issued during this time.   

In a phone interview with OSEN on the 15th, a representative from Korean Air stated, "As the investigation for Bobby Kim's incident is still underway, we have not yet decided what penalties will be issued."

Another official stated that under normal circumstances, the disciplinary committee would have already decided certain penalties for both parties. However, due to the fact that the situation is still under review, no haste decisions will be made at this moment.

On the 7th of January, Bobby Kim arrived at Incheon Airport around 4:40 AM (Korea Time) to fly to San Francisco for a visit to his sister. However, due to a mix up by Korean Air officials in the ticketing process, Bobby Kim was issued the wrong seat in economy class instead of his intended business class. After consuming several alcoholic beverages after the initial argument, Bobby Kim became boisterous and harassed passengers and employees with his rowdy behavior.

Regarding the situation, Bobby Kim stated, "I had turned my wine drinking experience into something very embarrassing and disgraceful, and for that I apologize." "Although I do not remember a majority of my actions, I apologize deeply for the scene that I caused and I will participate in the investigation fully and willingly.
