The Korea Airports Corporation has expressed its position on the civil complaint that arose during the departure screening process of the group I.V. Jang Won-young. The Korea Airports Corporation said on its official website on the 15th, "We are verbally guiding you to remove items that cover your face, such as hats, sunglasses, and masks, when checking passengers' identification," adding, "We are additionally asking employees to take them off completely if they believe it is difficult to identify them in the process of comparing ID photos with their actual faces." "In the future, we plan to actively guide and promote the passenger identification process by using various methods such as posting on the website," he added. In particular, the Korea Airports Corporation emphasized that all passengers are being identified equally. This is in response to the complaints raised together with Jang Won-young's recent departure process at Gimpo Airport, which has become a hot topic online. The complaint began when Jang Won-young's departure video from Gimpo Airport was released for his schedule. At the time, he lowered his hat and mask slightly when an airport employee asked him to show his face to check his passport during the departure screening process, and later lowered his mask once again at the employee's request and was identified. In addition, controversy arose as he reportedly made gestures such as standing with his arms crossed in front of an airport employee and taking his passport with one hand. However, the misunderstanding was resolved when the video was released from a different angle. Jang Won-young politely handed over his passport to the airport staff with both hands and faithfully responded to the request to show his face. It is known that he only crossed his arms in a moment. In the end, the incident ended with a simple incident, but it raised awareness that the airport's strict security and rules used by many should be more followed. Meanwhile, Ive, to which Jang Won-young belongs, is currently conducting the world tour "Show What I Have."
