Kim said he then suffered a panic attack, stayed up all night and took medication before passing out, and that the performance ended while he was unconscious, costing him credibility. He said he kept taking medication for panic disorder on the flight but could not calm down, and in anger took 30 sleeping pills at once. "I wasn't in a normal state," he said, adding that he became curious whether a real alarm would sound. Kim said he then smoked on the plane and an alarm went off.

"No matter the reason, I said it was my fault," Kim said. "I decided I wouldn't make excuses." 2026-04-08 09:36:15
