ATLANTA-<\/strong> Delta Air Lines (DL)<\/a> is facing criticism in Korea after an actor and K-pop star shared her account of being demoted from a first-class to an economy seat by the airline without receiving a reimbursement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Delta Faces Criticism by Korean Star<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

“Despite having made a reservation for a first-class airplane ticket approximately a month ago, I have been informed that my seating has been changed to an economy ticket, with no accompanying refund,” wrote the actor. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

She continued, stating, “The sole alternatives presented to me were to either travel economy at the rate of a first-class fare or to decline and await the subsequent flight.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She appended, “This ranks among the most illogical encounters I have recently undergone.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Airlines Comments<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Delta Airlines has confirmed that it is investigating an incident in which K-pop star Hyeri was allegedly bumped from an overbooked flight. The airline has forwarded the matter to the relevant department and is conducting an internal investigation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hyeri’s flight was a domestic route within the United States. Airlines in the United States have faced criticism in the past for overbooking flights during peak travel periods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In April 2020, a Korean-American woman filed a lawsuit against Delta Airlines after she was allegedly removed from a first-class cabin due to overbooking. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The lawsuit claimed that the woman was coerced into relocating to the economy class section to accommodate a white woman. This incident stirred controversy over seat overbooking and allegations of racism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
