KBA Pledges Full Support for the Victims of the Jeju Air Disaster at Muan International Airport On the morning of December 29, 2024, a Jeju Air passenger aircraft attempting to land at Muan International Airport veered off the runway, collided with the airport’s outer wall, and exploded, resulting in a devastating tragedy. Out of the 181 passengers on board, two were rescued with severe injuries, but the remaining 179 were tragically found deceased. The Korean Bar Association (KBA) expresses its deepest condolences to the families of the victims and mourns the loss of lives. The KBA also wishes for the swift recovery of the injured survivors. The Gwangju Bar Association has established a ‘Legal Support Lawyers' Task Force’ to provide comprehensive legal assistance to the victims of this disaster. The KBA will fully support the activities of this task force and collaborate closely with the victims to address the aftermath of the tragedy, including ensuring the protection of victims’ rights during the recovery process, uncovering the causes of the incident, managing media responses, and cooperating with social organizations. The KBA is committed to providing both human and material resources to facilitate these efforts effectively. The KBA stands resolutely alongside the victims of this disaster, committed to supporting them throughout the challenging journey ahead.
