The incident came to light through a poignant social media post. A user shared, "This isn’t related to SHINee, but I wanted to share something after some thought, as it seems not widely known yet.

They said their belongings, covered in fan merch, were quickly identified. Please join in offering your condolences to the departed."

The Accident Details
The catastrophic accident occurred on December 29 at 9:07 AM. A Jeju Air flight arriving from Bangkok skidded off the runway while attempting to land at Muan International Airport. The plane collided with the runway's outer wall, igniting into flames upon impact.

The aircraft carried 181 people, including 175 passengers—173 South Koreans and 2 Thais—and six crew members. According to the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, and Transport, the situation escalated rapidly.

A Critical Chain of Events
At 8:57 AM, the control tower at Muan Airport alerted the flight's captain of a potential bird strike. Two minutes later, at 8:59 AM, the pilot issued a "Mayday" distress signal. Despite the warning, the aircraft attempted a landing in the opposite direction of the original runway path at 9:00 AM.

Tragically, the landing gear failed to deploy, leading to the fatal crash.
