K-pop fans take pictures on plane and get off

Fans can go to any lengths to get close to their idols as some K-pop fans recently did on in Hong Kong.

The three fans of K-pop band boarded a Seoul-bound Korean Air flight in Hong Kong, ignored flight attendants’ requests to be seated and instead took pictures of the 11-member band. They then demanded to get off before it departed and got refunds on their tickets.

The fans, in their 20s, got refunds on their tickets, excluding some penalties, but the rest of the 360 passengers had to disembark and go through security screening again, delaying the flight by almost an hour, the company said in a statement.

Korean Air Lines Co. Ltd. has now raised refund penalties after this to discourage such incidents in the future.
