  "summary": "The Korea Times reported on Monday that a Daegu District Court sentenced a 38-year-old man, identified as Park, to a suspended two-year prison term and 80 hours of community service for attempting to open an emergency door on a T way Air flight from Bangkok to Daegu in November 2025. The incident occurred at an altitude of 37,000 feet, and Park was charged under the Aviation Security Act. The court's decision took into account the limited danger posed by Park's action, as the door was unlikely to open, and the fact that he attempted to open it only once. T way Air, the airline involved, has since been rebranded as Trinity Airways.",
