On the 29th, a Jeju Air passenger plane collided with the outer wall of the runway while landing at Muan International Airport, resulting in the deaths of 179 out of 181 passengers. In response, the government declared Muan-gun a special disaster area and designated the period from the 29th to January 4th as the national mourning period. Consequently, award ceremonies such as the '2024 MBC Entertainment Awards' and '2024 MBC Drama Awards', as well as press conferences, broadcasts, and YouTube channels, were all paused to participate in the mourning. Many celebrities also posted condolence messages on their respective social media accounts to mourn the victims and comfort the bereaved families.

Amid this, when Jeon Jong-seo posted everyday photos, some netizens responded, "Everyone is in grief, so it would be better to refrain from such posts," "At least we should observe mourning," and "Although entertainers make a living through attention, shouldn't they hold back a bit now?" On the other hand, some netizens defended Jeon Jong-seo, saying, "People find fault with everything," "Is it really something to be criticized just for posting one photo?" and "The accident is tragic, but personal daily life and freedom are also important." As the controversy grew over the photos she posted, Jeon Jong-seo seemed to be aware of the situation and eventually deleted the photos. Meanwhile, Jeon Jong-seo is currently filming the movie 'Project Y' alongside actress Han So-hee.
