Broadcaster Yang Mira revealed that she put a power bank in her luggage carrier, becoming embroiled in controversy over violating aviation security regulations. However, she continues to promote an SNS event without any clarification, leading to heightened criticism from netizens.
On the 22nd, Yang shared a review of a long-haul flight with her son on her SNS, stating, "I was worried about whether Seo-ho could endure a 13-hour flight, and we arrived in a daze." However, the controversy arose from her subsequent statement where she disclosed that she put the power bank in her carrier, prompting criticisms that she violated aviation safety regulations.
Power banks are strictly prohibited from being checked in as luggage due to a high risk of fire. Particularly in January, a fire incident on a passenger plane caused by a power bank explosion occurred at Gimhae Airport, leading to stricter related regulations.
Since then, criticisms toward Yang Mira have intensified on SNS and online communities. Responses included, "In-flight safety is not a joke; this is too careless," "Shouldn't she at least apologize if it was a mistake?", and "I can't understand how she speaks of danger so boastfully." While some showed a somewhat lenient view, saying, "Anyone can make a mistake once," and "It must have been filtered out before the flight," the prevailing sentiment was that "public figures should be more cautious."
Nonetheless, even after the controversy, Yang continues to share her daily life in Canada without any significant clarification. Recently, she even posted promotional event content on her SNS stories while applying cosmetic products. The video included scenes of her using the product along with a purchase link and a comment event announcement, seemingly unrelated to the controversy, drawing even more criticism.
Meanwhile, Yang Mira married a non-celebrity two years her senior in 2018 and has one son and one daughter. She is currently traveling in Canada with her family.
