The BBC in the United Kingdom said it was a very unusual event in Korean aviation history, noting that it was the first massive disaster since the establishment of Jeju Air in 2005.

Some foreign media also reported the recent political situation, saying that it occurred while Korea was experiencing a political crisis due to the emergency martial law crisis.
