Incheon International Airport Corporation withdrew its plan to use a separate door, which caused controversy over celebrity preferential treatment, a day before its implementation.

Incheon International Airport Corporation said on the 27th that it will not implement the procedure for using separate doors for celebrities that caused multiple concentrations, which was scheduled to take effect on October 28, in consideration of various opinions raised in the national audit and media reports.

Earlier, the corporation recently sent an official letter to the entertainment agency saying, 「Asking for cooperation in compliance with the procedure for using the exclusive door for Incheon International Airport when the artist leaves the country」. In order to prevent a crowded situation, a new procedure will be prepared and implemented so that celebrities such as celebrities can use the door dedicated to the departure hall at Incheon International Airport.



However, some criticized that it was a favor for celebrities. Even if it is to prevent accidents, it gives excessive preferential treatment to celebrities who leave the country for commercial activities rather than official duties.

On the 24th, lawmakers also pointed out the Incheon International Airport Corporation's policy of 'celebrity-only doors' in a comprehensive audit conducted by the National Assembly's Land, Infrastructure and Transport Committee on the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport.



In particular, some pointed out that it is against equity because most of the recipients of the official documents are large entertainment agencies. At the time, a lawmaker of the Democratic Party of Korea said, `If you look at the place where the official letter was sent, there are no small agencies. It was not sent to fish music to which Lim Young-woong belongs. Can Byun Woo-seok do it, but can't Lim Young-woong do it?"

The public corporation "There was a shortcoming in the process of gathering public opinion."We plan to come up with separate measures after collecting sufficient opinions so that there are no problems such as the safety of airport passengers and congestion caused by multiple crowding."
