The baggage violation controversy surrounding Korean actress Yang Mira gained attention earlier this week. Yang recently addressed the situation on social media to clear the air.
The issue began at the airport, where Yang was stopped due to a portable battery in her checked baggage. According to her post, she had packed in a rush while preparing for a long trip with her child.
She shared her frustrations, saying she ran all over the airport dealing with multiple issues. At one point, she even joked that she could have reached Canada from all the running.
Eventually, airport staff flagged her checked baggage. They discovered a slim portable battery tucked between clothing items. She was able to remove the item without any further problems and boarded her flight safely.
Yang explained that she did not know the rules about battery chargers in checked bags. She said the mistake happened due to oversight, not because she ignored safety regulations.
On July 24, Yang posted a detailed explanation on Instagram. She wrote that staying silent might make it seem like she knowingly broke the rules.
She emphasized that the baggage violation controversy arose from a simple mistake. Her main goal had been to pack for a three-week trip with a child, which led to a chaotic packing process.
She admitted the mistake was hers and promised to be more cautious in the future. Yang also said that some online reports misrepresented the situation. She never intended to brag about bypassing aviation rules.
Yang mentioned that the charger was small and accidentally left in the wrong place. She expressed regret for not double-checking her luggage before the flight.
Though upset at first, she felt better after expressing her thoughts. Yang concluded her post by wishing her followers a peaceful night.
The baggage violation controversy shows how quickly misunderstandings can spread online. Yang Mira hopes her clarification puts the issue to rest and encourages awareness of travel regulations.
