However, she did not explain specifically why she was asking for help. Later, Kim Najung posted again with strange content, saying, "Last night, the Korean Air flight from Manila to Incheon scheduled for 11 PM was delayed to 12:05 AM. Late at night, airport staff, passengers, and immigration all filmed me. Like in The Truman Show, to avoid a drug trafficking incident, I threw away all my luggage and bags and left without boarding Korean Air." She then admitted to drug use, stating, "If I board that plane, I will die. Republic of Korea, please help me. I confess to using drugs in the Philippines. Because of my delusions, I feel like I will die in some way, so I can't board the plane."

Currently, only the posts related to drug use have been deleted from Kim Najung’s SNS. Her last post includes a photo of the airport with the caption "Boarding the plane." Although Kim Najung quickly deleted the post, it was captured and spread across multiple communities. After seeing this, a netizen identified as A reported Kim Najung to the police on suspicion of drug use. A stated, "Since the Philippines strictly punishes drug crimes with up to life imprisonment, it is judged that Kim Najung had no choice but to urgently seek help through the embassy," adding, "Judging from the last Instagram post saying 'Boarding the plane,' it is presumed that she has safely arrived in Korea." A also said, "On the 12th, I requested an investigation into Kim Najung’s 'violation of the Narcotics Control Act' through the National Police Agency’s online complaint system, directed to the Seoul Mapo Police Station (the jurisdiction of Maxim Korea’s address). I strongly urge a thorough investigation to fully uncover the facts and to set a strict precedent."
