“I know I’ll die if I get on a plane…”
What’s happening MAXIMUM model Kim and Jung? His latest Instagram updates from the Philippines have caused confusion and concern among netizens.
Kim, a 2019 MAXIM contest winner turned “weather forecaster” for the adult content brand whose rise to public fame came with her appearances in Don’t go back, Tak Jae Hoon AND The Community—took to Instagram Stories in a panic, revealing that she was at Hotel Corrado in Manila, Philippines, in immediate danger.
Left: I’m at the Conrad Hotel in Manila. My life is threatened right now. I’m so scared that I can’t get a taxi to the airport. Please help me.
Right: (Above background image of a screenshot showing international text messages asking to take a call) Please call the Korean Embassy for me.
Then followed a series of chaotic (and somewhat incomprehensible) updates…
(On the background image of a screenshot showing a ticket for a flight departing from Manila to Incheon at 12:05 pm on November 12) I feel like I’m going to die if I get on this flight. I will die if I leave Manila. The airport is not safe. I’m at the Manila airport. Please help me…

…in one of which he admitted to using drugs while in Manila, leading to “delusions”.
Last night, the 11am Korea Air flight from Manila to Incheon was delayed with departure at 12.05am. It was late at night and the airport crew, passengers and immigration agents were filming me. It was like the Truman Show. To ensure that I was not involved in a drug trafficking scheme, I abandoned all my bags and luggage and left without boarding the Korea Air flight. I know I will die if I get on a plane. South Korea, please help me. I admit to having used drugs in the Philippines. For this reason, I have disappointments. I have a feeling I’m going to die one way or another, so I can’t get on a flight.

Her final update hinted that she would be boarding a flight to Korea.
I want to go back to Korea…
—Kim Na Jung
I’m boarding the flight now…

Kim’s stories have since been deleted, while her followers remain concerned for her well-being. Kim hasn’t shared any updates since.
In the meantime, News about the stars reported that a Korea Air flight from Manila to Incheon, scheduled to depart at 11.20pm on November 11, 2024, was, in fact, delayed, though only by about 30 minutes due to “plane connection problems” and took off at 11.54pm. Kim’s ticket, as shown in one of the screenshots, was for a flight departing on November 12, 2024 in the afternoon.
