I was on the same flight. Soyou was heavily intoxicated. She said she wouldn't eat because she was too tired. I heard the staff telling her that she shouldn't board the flight while drunk. It's wrong for her to claim that she was treated unjustly or that it was racial discrimination... As a Korean and as a fan, I was honestly very embarrassed at that moment. I felt very awkward toward the flight attendants as well.
Soyou's post:
After finishing my schedule in New York, I boarded a connecting flight from Atlanta to Korea.
I was very tired and requested to speak with a Korean crew member to check the meal schedule. However, the purser judged my attitude and treated me like I was a problematic passenger, even calling security.
I even had to say, "If I'm the problem, I'll get off." After that, I had to endure cold treatment and glares for the entire 15-hour flight. At that moment, I wondered, "Is this racial discrimination?" I couldn't eat anything for the entire flight and the experience left a deep scar caused by racial bias.
I hope no one else ever has to be doubted or humiliated because of their race.
-There must be a rule against boarding while drunk. Why did the crew let a heavily drunk passenger on board?
-It was a night flight, so I didn't realize it at first. After she sat down, it suddenly got noisy. That's when I realized it was Soyou. She said she was drunk and couldn't read the menu, so she requested a Korean flight attendant. There was no security called.
And it seems like Soyou didn't file a complaint with Delta...?
It looks like Soyou didn’t report it to Delta, just posted it on social media
I just got off a call with Delta because I had a question about a reservation.
It was for a Delta One seat on the same DELTA DL27 flight Soyou took. I mentioned that as a Gold Medallion member. I told them I was worried about flying on October 17th because a celebrity claimed she was discriminated against on that flight. They checked and said there were no incident reports, claims, or statements filed.
Honestly, if you paid that much money and didn’t get to eat or were mistreated, you’d definitely file a claim for an apology or compensation. Maybe her agency will handle it, but still.
-If she was heavily intoxicated, the story changes completely...
-But why do celebrities post things like that? To get others to attack on their behalf?!
-There’s no proof anyway…
-Who would’ve thought Soyou was lying? Of course, we thought she was being unfairly treated.
-If she was drunk, she's at fault.
-If that witness isn’t a fake account and actually lives overseas, there's a possibility the witness account is true. We should just wait quietly until more facts come out.
-I've flown Delta to and from Korea several times and I don’t buy it. Delta isn't some budget airline. Not as friendly as Korean airlines, sure, but they still offer good service. She must’ve been in a premium seat since she’s a celebrity… but saying she didn’t get served food at all? That sounds unbelievable.
-We need to hear both sides of the story.
-Girl’s Day Hyeri also once claimed on Instagram that she experienced racial discrimination from Delta.
-Has Delta made any statement?
-People believe that without any proof…???
-Delta has Korean crew members... Can racial discrimination even happen there?
-This is getting interestingㅋㅋㅋ
