Strengthening of Short-Circuit Prevention Measures for Portable chargers (Power Banks)

Effective March 1, 2025, under the directive from the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport of the Republic of Korea, we will be checking at the check-in counters and security checkpoints to ensure that short-circuit prevention measures* for power banks are in place for passengers departing from Seoul.

Please implement short-circuit prevention measures using one of the following methods.

2. Apply insulating tape to the terminals.
