'Two alerts' that woke me up at dawn... 'My mother' Lee Yoon-ji, Choi Hee, Kim Jeong-im, perplexity + anger

Stars also swept their hearts at the alarm that suddenly sounded loudly at dawn.

On the 31st, Choi Hee, a former announcer and broadcaster, also posted a message expressing her surprise. Choi Hee expressed her perplexed feeling, "You've been really surprised since the morning. I also went white at the warning message. I thought about how to act with the children from now on, but there was no database in my head, so I really couldn't do anything." He also said, “At this point, I thought I should know in advance how to deal with various emergencies.

Actress Lee Yun-ji posted a picture of her two daughters hugging each other and said, "Every Korean would have their hearts pounding early in the morning. I was afraid, but thankfully, I thought he was still alive. I quickly looked down at my child. At that moment, I did the most important thing to me again. I confirmed it with my heart,” he wrote.

Model Kim Jeong-im, wife of former baseball player Hong Seong-heun, complained, “What are you saying? He also said, "My school friends asked me via KakaoTalk, 'Are we going to school right now?', but when they suddenly found me unable to find the answer in my head, I wanted to sit down and cry."

He continued, "The country raises an alert to evacuate, but there is no contact from school, and if things like this are late, there won't be any excuses, but I thought it was right to go to school on time, so I said, 'Let's go without being late!' At the moment, what is this again?” he burst into anger.

The Joint Chiefs of Staff announced that North Korea launched a space launch vehicle from Dongchang-ri, North Pyongan Province, toward the south at around 6:29 a.m. on the same day, but due to an abnormal flight, Eocheong landed in the sea some 200 kilometers west of the island.

In this regard, the city of Seoul announced through an emergency disaster text message at 6:32 am, "An alert has been issued in the Seoul area. Citizens should prepare to evacuate and allow children and the elderly to evacuate first." However, a little later, around 6:41, the Ministry of Public Administration and Security sent an emergency text message correcting, "We inform you that the alert issued by the Seoul Metropolitan Government was issued in error." In response, the citizens were startled by the loud alarm sound from early in the morning, and they were even more confused by the different positions of the Seoul Metropolitan Government and the Ministry of Public Administration and Security.

Seoul Mayor Oh Se-hoon held an emergency briefing at City Hall this afternoon and said, "I apologize for confusing many people with the Seoul alert text message related to the North Korean space launch early this morning." In addition, he emphasized, "This emergency message may have been an overreaction by the field staff, but it was judged that it was not a miscommunication."
