Anthony Kim calls for Korean Airline's help just hours after joking about his flight

Anthony Kim called out for help from Korean Airlines just hours after hilariously joking about his flight. Following his outing at the LIV Golf Mexico City event, the American golfer headed to play in the next Saudi league event in Korea.

However, on Monday (April 28), Kim shared a hilarious post on Instagram about his flight's technical error. He was heading to South Korea, but the plane's monitor showed that the flight was going to Japan.

"This ✈️goin to Japan I'm supposed 2 be going to @livgolf_league Korea," he wrote in his IG story.

Just hours after the technical error of the flight, Anthony Kim shared a post on his X account asking for help from Korean Air. He revealed in his post that his wife's bag was lost on the flight and asked for help to get it back. He tweeted:

"Feel so unbelievably blessed 2 have arrived in KOREA 4 @livgolf_league this week. I missed my girls last week so I’m pretty excited 2 see them but unfortunately @KoreanAir lost my wife’s bag. @KoreanAir would make our trip better if u did thanks."
