Original review summary

The review says the claim is false: police investigated a bomb threat sent to South Korea’s Ministry of Justice, not the Jeju Air crash as an act of Japanese terrorism. The claim arose from a compilation-site headline that misrepresented the underlying report.[S1]

Additional context

The crash occurred on December 29, 2024, at Muan International Airport; the review reports that 179 of the 181 people aboard died. [S1]

The review says a threat email arrived at the ministry on December 30, 2024, and threatened bombings at multiple locations in South Korea the following night. [S1]

The review also reports that the lawyer whose name was used posted about the incident on X on January 1, 2025. [S1]
