On the 29th, it was revealed that a surviving crew member of the aircraft accident at Muan International Airport, South Jeolla Province, reacted with 'what happened' when asked by a doctor 'where does it hurt' after being transported to the hospital.

According to Yonhap News, on that day, it was noted that the crew member, Mr. Lee, who was urgently transported to Mokpo Korea Hospital immediately after the accident, initially asked about the situation. It was reported that Mr. Lee asked, 'Why have I been brought here?'

According to Yonhap News, Mr. Lee stated that before arrival, the seatbelt was fastened and it seemed the plane had completely landed, but noted that there was no memory thereafter.

Mr. Lee, who was in charge of passenger service at the rear of the aircraft, suffered a left shoulder fracture and head injuries but was found to be conscious.

It was reported that Mr. Lee would be transferred to a hospital in the Seoul area during the day at the family's request. A woman in her 20s, who was also rescued, is receiving treatment at Mokpo Central Hospital.
