Airline worker accused of leaking celebrities’ flight information
Police are investigating an airline employee who is suspected of leaking flight details of celebrities including K-pop group BTS.
South Korean police detained a woman in her 30s who is accused of selling the data and has reportedly earned about KRW10 million.
The flight information leaked covers travel in 2023 and 2024 and allegedly covers hundreds of data.
The woman has not been named but works for a Hong Kong based airline.
She is suspected of using the airline’s systems to access passenger flight details including seat numbers.
South Korea police said they could expand the investigation to other people linked to the scheme.
“I initially obtained the boarding information at the request of an acquaintance, and later sold it for money,” the woman reportedly told police.
