A group of BJs (broadcast jockeys) who conducted an internet broadcast inside an airplane taking off is causing controversy.
On the 14th, JTBC’s *Scandal Supervisor* reported the actions of a BJ who live-streamed at the airport and on the airplane.
When the broadcast jockey started filming inside the airport before boarding, a staff member instructed him to turn off the camera since filming is prohibited. Unlike his answer, he persisted with his broadcast.
His live broadcast continued even on the plane. The broadcast jockey confidently said, “You guys saw, right? I told you I could livestream at the airport, didn’t I? Even the operator knows what I am doing. It doesn’t matter. Just be careful.”
Even when the in-flight announcement said, “Please turn off all electronic devices, including mobile phones, which can affect the airplane’s communication and navigation equipment during takeoff and landing,” the broadcast jockey did not stop broadcasting.
He even asked for “Star Balloons,” a form of cash donation, while a female member of the broadcast jockey group said, “Just one more star balloon, please. I don’t like how the number doesn’t fit neatly.”
The person who reported the video claimed, “I reported it to the broadcasting platform, but the broadcast continued for over 3 hours without any intervention.”
Responding to the incident, lawyer Park Ji-Hoon said, “There is a law, but this is not a legal issue but a common sense issue.” He criticized, “Everyone knows that using electronic devices can cause radio interference. However, they chose to ignore this.”
Meanwhile, Article 73 of the Aviation Safety Act stipulates, “To prevent the effect of electromagnetic interference, etc., on the operation of aircraft in flight and telecommunications equipment, the Minister of Land, Infrastructure and Transport may restrict the use of electronic devices carried by passengers, as prescribed by Ordinance of the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport,” as the emission of communication radio waves from mobile phones can directly interfere with the aircraft’s radio waves, posing a significant risk to the safety of the passengers.
