믿기 어렵지만, 바로 며칠 전 제주공항에서 실제로 벌어진 사건입니다.
폐소공포증을 이유로 비상문을 연 여성, 그리고 6시간 넘게 지연된 비행기.

비행기 안전과 개인의 정신 건강 사이, 우리가 함께 생각해볼 이야기를 전합니다.

🇺🇸 English
What would you do if someone opened the emergency door—while the plane was moving?
It sounds like something out of a movie, but it really happened just days ago at Jeju Airport.
A woman suffering from claustrophobia caused a major flight delay by opening the door.
This week, we dive into the incident, the legal consequences, and the balance between public safety and mental health.

🎧 ZamZamPod EP.3: “Study freedom or café nuisance?”  
Have you heard of the term *'카공족 (Ka-gong-jok)'*?  
It refers to people who study in cafés — a unique trend in Korean café culture.

But not everyone welcomes this.  
Some café owners are frustrated by customers who stay for hours with just one coffee.  
From “No Study Zones” to dedicated study cafés, let’s talk about this growing phenomenon!
