Muan Jeju Air Crash Families Push To Stop Public Hearing
Family members of victims from the December 29 Jeju Air crash at Muan International Airport gather with civic groups outside the presidential office in Yongsan, Seoul, South Korea, on December 1, 2025. They demand that the Aviation and Railway Accident Investigation Board halt its public hearing. They argue that the board's affiliation with the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport compromises the independence of the investigation and call for it to be placed under the prime minister's office as an independent body.
