As per Korea JoongAng Daily, South Korea mistakenly sent an alert to Seoul residents to take shelter after the military detected a projectile launch from North Korea. The missile was reportedly a “space launch vehicle” which flew West towards the Yellow Sea. The North Korean government also stated that their launch failed but they will try it again soon.
Several other Korean celebrities also responded to the emergency alert that caused panic in Seoul. Famed comedian Park Myung-soo, Brown Eyed Girls’ JeA, Secret’s Jun Hyoseong, actress Lee Yoon-ji, and TV personality Choi Hee were among the people who shared posts and stories on Instagram talking about the false alarm.
