"Volunteers and Bereaved Families, Enjoy Your Coffee"... 'Prepaid' System at Muan Airport Too

The anonymous prepaid coffee gesture that took place at the rally calling for the impeachment of President Yoon Suk-yeol has continued at Muan Airport.

On social media (SNS), one user posted a short message on the 30th saying, "There is also a prepaid coffee arrangement at a cafe inside Muan International Airport," along with a photo.

The photo showed a notice stating, "Volunteers and bereaved family members, please enjoy an Americano or cafe latte. Your drinks have been prepaid."

An employee of the cafe said, "We don't know who made the donation," and added, "A total of 200 drinks have been prepaid for bereaved family members and volunteers."

Upon seeing this, online users responded with comments such as, "I hope everyone endures well," "I can't stop my tears," "I suddenly got emotional," and "Even in such despair, thanks to people who show that these acts of kindness happen so often, I feel the world is still worth living in."

In addition, the Gwangju-Jeonnam branch of the Korean Red Cross is currently providing 500ml bottled water, hot packs, and blankets inside Muan Airport. Jeollanam-do has prepared separate dining areas and waiting rooms for the families of passengers on the 2nd and 3rd floors of the annex at Muan International Airport.

Counselors providing psychological support have also been stationed. One counselor said, "No one has requested counseling separately as of yesterday or today," and added, "I will remain here to be of help to those going through difficult times."
