A popular South Korean DJ claimed she was kicked off an American Airlines flight and "harassed" into taking off her sweatpants in public because they were deemed "inappropriate" and "offensive."DJ Soda, whose real name is Hwang So-hee, took to Instagram and Twitter to detail how she was "harassed and humiliated" on Monday after boarding an American Airlines flight from New York to Los Angeles."I was forced out of the plane and was harassed to take off my pants in front of the flight crews at the gate," the 36-year-old wrote. Hwang added that she "never had an issue" wearing the pants on her current North American music tour. During the incident, Hwang had been wearing black sweatpants with the words "FUCK," "FUCK YOU," and "FUCKIN,'" printed all over, which she said were sponsored by the clothing brand Ripndip."They did not have any problem with me wearing it at the time of check-in nor when I sat down at my seat," continued the influencer, who has 4.3 million followers on Instagram and 126,000 followers on Twitter.

Hwang said her problems only began after she had already boarded the plane. "A staff suddenly approached me to pack up my belongings and leave the plane without any kind of explanation. As I was escorted off the plane, they claimed that my sweatpants were 'inappropriate' and 'offensive,' telling me that I need to take the next flight," she said. However, Hwang "pleaded to stay" on the flight as she needed to get to Los Angeles in time for an important meeting. "I even offered to get changed, but the request was denied," she said, adding that "what happened next was horrendous.". "I ended up taking off my pants in front of the whole crew and standing half-naked while they still refused to board me on the flight. They even sarcastically commented that I could have taken off my pants earlier," Hwang wrote.

"When they finally let me enter, I put my pants inside out and finally sat down after an hour of delay causing inconvenience to the members of the flights on board. I was mortified and trembling in fear for the next six hours on my flight back to LA. "Hwang, who is a well-known DJ in South Korea and a frequent headliner at Asian music festivals, concluded her post by saying she would boycott the airline. "Hope this NEVER happens to anyone ever again," she wrote. American Airlines did not immediately respond to Insider's request for comment. The incident was not the first time celebrities have faced plane troubles over their clothing. In 2019, reality TV personality Aubrey O'Day said a male American Airlines flight attendant made her remove her shirt in front of other passengers because he found it offensive. Earlier this year, influencer and model Olivia Culpo was about to board an American Airlines flight to Cabo when she was told to "cover up" her outfit — which comprised a cardigan, sports bra, and biker shorts — or she would not be allowed to fly, per People.

Why Dj Soda was banned from boarding into American airlines by the staff

On April 26, DJ Soda took to her Twitter and posted a thread, where she revealed an unpleasant encounter she recently had with American Airline staff members. Along with a video of her talking to an American Airlines worker, DJ Soda wrote, "I GOT KICKED OFF FROM @AmericanAir flight and they harassed me to take off my sponsored @RIPNDIP 'phaK YOU' sweatpants in front of people to board again."



@AmericanAir kicked me off the flight and harassed me to take off my sponsored @RIPNDIP 'F**K YOU' sweatpants in front of people to board again.

Yesterday coming back from JFK to LAX with American Airlines, I was harassed and humiliated. I was forced out of the plane and was harassed to take off my pants in front of the flight crews at the gate. I have never had an issue with wearing this pair of pants before in my many months of touring in North America and they did not have any problem with me wearing it at the time of check-in nor when I sat down at my seat.

Here is my story.


Korean artist DJ Soda says she was 'harassed,' kicked off flight over her 'f*ck you' sweatpants
Popular South Korean artist DJ Soda, 36, claims she was "harassed" before being kicked off an American Airlines flight for wearing pants deemed "offensive."

DJ Soda, whose real name is Hwang So-hee, posted on her Instagram and Twitter that she was on the way from JFK airport to LAX when American Airlines kicked her off her flight and “harassed” her in front of other passengers to take off her black sweatpants, which were emblazoned all over with "F*CK," "F*CK YOU" and "F*CKIN."

She says she was traveling for the fourth week of her Starlight Tour and adds that she has “never had an issue” with her pants, which were sponsored by clothing company Ripndip, in her “many months of touring in North America.” While American Airlines did not seemingly have a problem with her pants during check-in nor when she got to her seat, a staff member approached DJ Soda while she was “enjoying [her] welcome drink” in her business class seat before take-off, the artist says. According to DJ Soda’s caption, she was told to “pack up” her belongings and “leave the plane” without “any kind of explanation.” It was only after she had been escorted off that they purportedly told her her sweatpants were “inappropriate” and “offensive” and that she would have to take the next flight.

DJ Soda says she further explained that she had an important meeting scheduled in Los Angeles that day and could “not afford to get off” the flight. She “pleaded” with staff to be allowed on, only to be “ignored” and “denied.” She says she then proceeded to take off her pants and stand “half-naked” in front of the plane’s entire crew. She was finally let back on after she wore her pants “inside out.” She wrote that she was “mortified and trembling in fear” for the six-hour duration of her flight.


DJ Soda was allegedly forced to remove ‘F*CK YOU’ pants in public after being escorted off the plane
Korean DJ, DJ Soda, recently shared a traumatic experience where she was told to take off her pants in a public setting

It all started when she got on a scheduled flight, only to be asked to get off the plane due to the nature of her pants. In one Twitter threadShe shared, “I got kicked off an American Airlines flight and they harassed me into taking off my sponsored RIPNDIP ‘F*CK You’ sweatpants in front of people to get back on[the plane].”

Here’s something important to note: the sweatpants had ‘Fuck you, you fuck you, fuck‘ written all over it. “Yesterday, while returning to LAX from JFK on American Airlines, I was harassed and humiliated. I was forced off the plane and harassed to remove my pants in front of the flight crew at the gate.” “I’ve never had a problem wearing these pants in my many months touring North America, and they had no problem with me putting them on at check-in time or when I sat down at my seat,” she shared.

Later, however, an employee suddenly approached them and asked them to pack their things and get off the plane without explanation. She begged staff to let her stay on her flight as she had an important meeting and even offered to change, but staff reportedly ignored her. “What happened next was appalling. With my broken fingers It barely ended with me taking my pants off in front of the whole crew and standing half naked while they still refused to board the flight with me. They even sarcastically commented that I could have taken my pants off earlier,” added DJ Soda. She eventually managed to reboard the plane after wearing the “F*CK YOU” pants inside out, and the entire incident caused the flight to be delayed by 1 hour.

Amid her current US tour, South Korean DJ Hwang So-hee, who is popularly known as DJ Soda, said in Instagram and Twitter posts that she was kicked off an American Airlines flight because of her pants.

She was only allowed to board again after she turned her pants inside out but claims that she was made to change in front of the flight crew, although she said she offered to change in the bathroom. By the time the flight from New York to Los Angeles left last Monday (Apr 25), the plane had been delayed by an hour, which mortified Ms Hwang. The pants in question had been given to her by US clothing and accessories company Ripndip and had the words “F**K”, “F**K YOU”, and “F**KIN’ F**K YOU” all over them.

“I have never had an issue with wearing this pair of pants before in my many months of touring in North America, and they did not have any problem with me wearing it at the time of check-in nor when I sat down at my seat,” the DJ tweeted. She had already been aboard the plane when a staffer came and escorted her off, telling her that her sweatpants were “inappropriate” and “offensive” and that she needed to take the next flight. As she had an important meeting in LA, she pleaded to be allowed to fly and offered to get changed. “What happened next was horrendous,” she added.


DJ and influencer 'left half-naked' on flight after sweatpants 'deemed offensive'

A South Korean DJ and influencer said she was left "half-naked" on an American Airlines flight because her sweatpants were deemed "offensive." DJ Soda, whose real name is Hwang So-hee, took to Instagram and Twitter to claim she was "harassed and humiliated" on Monday (April 25) after boarding an American Airlines flight from New York to Los Angeles.

The 36-year-old claims she was "forced out of the plane" and 'told to take off her sweatpants in front of the flight crews at the gate'. The sweatpants in question, which she says were sponsored by the clothing brand Ripndip, featured the words 'F*CK', 'F*CK YOU,' AND 'F*CKIN' written over them.

Hwang claims the airline 'didn't have a problem' with her wearing the trousers at the check-in gate, or when she sat down at her seat. She said her problems only began after she had already boarded the plane.


South Korean DJ Remove Pants in Airport Publicly Due to Words on Pants
deejaysoda Follow Original Audio

Fashion is often controversial, spicy and provocative. But when you go to the airport for a flight, it’s unlikely that you want to make a statement, or strut down a runway. (Get it? Fashion runway? Airport runway?) Usually, you’d just want to get the flight over and done with. But that privilege wasn’t given to one of South Korea’s most popular DJs, DJ Soda.

Clad in popular streetwear brand RipNDip’s “F*ck You” sweatpants, Soda (real name Hwang So-hee) was on an American Airlines flight to Los Angeles from New York City. After checking in and boarding the plane, she was “enjoying [her] welcome drink” in business class when she was pulled off the plane with no explanation. The airline staff then informed her that her sweatpants were inappropriate and offensive, and that she was barred from the plane and needed to catch the next flight. Soda, however, had an important meeting in LA later that day, so she pleaded to be let on the flight. According to her, she tried to ask to change, but her request was denied.

In the end, she had to take off her pants in front of all of the airline staff, who even “sarcastically commented that [she] could have taken off [her] pants earlier” while still barring her from the flight. She ended up being let back on the flight wearing her pants inside out “after an hour of delay”, reporting that she felt “mortified” and was “trembling in fear for the next 6 hours”. “In my 8 years of touring, I have never experienced or been treated unfairly, especially in a country that is known for its freedom of speech and individuality,” she wrote on her Instagram post.

5 Healthy Lifestyle Habits

May Help You Live More Than 10 Years Longer

New research published by the American Heart Association (AHA) suggests that adults in the US who follow 5 healthy lifestyle habits may live more than a decade longer compared with people who follow none of the 5 habits. These 5 habits are:
  • eating a healthy diet
  • getting regular exercise
  • not smoking
  • staying at a healthy weight
  • limiting alcohol
Starting at age 50, men in the study were estimated to have an average life expectancy of 14 years and women were estimated to have an average life expectancy of 12 years when they followed all 5 habits. The study was published April 30, 2018 in the AHA journal Circulation.

The study authors point out that the US ranks 31st in the world for life expectancy among those born in 2015, even though it’s one of the richest countries in the world and spends more on health care per person as a percent of gross domestic product than any other country. According to the authors, the US healthcare system focuses mainly on drug discovery and disease management, even though a greater emphasis on prevention could go a long way toward controlling the most common and most expensive diseases, including cancer and cardiovascular disease.

Dealing with depression

How following a daily routine can help manage emotional well-being
Vivian Cheng at her home in West Kowloon. Cheng suffers from depression but finds a healthy daily routine helps her manage her symptoms.
South China Morning Post

In 2011, Vivian Cheng was diagnosed with depression after the collapse of a long-term relationship. Since then, she has been regularly seeing both a psychologist and a psychiatrist, and taking antidepressant medication.

The Hongkonger, who is in her 40s, also joined a support group for people with depression and says that their meetings have been instrumental in her recovery. "I learnt a lot about this complex and misunderstood condition, including the fact that it's a mental illness and that it's normal," she says. "Being in that healing, non-judgmental space also taught me how others deal with their symptoms. Knowing that there are others like me reassures me that I'm not alone in this struggle."

Following a routine has also helped Cheng manage her emotional well-being. She says that making certain activities central to her daily life keeps her feeling grounded and more positive about her future.


How To Identify And Deal With Depression

It is normal to feel sad when we lose a loved one, fail an exam, or even end a relationship.

However, when feelings of sadness is prolonged and affects our daily lives, it is symptomatic of depression.

Other signs of depression include:
  • A loss of interest in activities previously enjoyed
  • Weight loss or weight gain; or decrease or increase in appetite
  • Difficulty falling asleep or staying asleep; or sleeping excessively
  • Feeling agitated or restless
  • Feeling tired and lacking the energy
  • Feelings of worthlessness or excessive guilt
  • Difficulty concentrating or having trouble thinking
  • Frequent thoughts of death or suicide

Singapore to lower Dorscon level from orange to yellow from April 26

The Republic will be stepping down its Disease Outbreak Response System Condition (Dorscon) framework from orange to yellow on April 26, given the improving local Covid-19 situation. Dorscon yellow generally means that, on the whole, life can go on as normal. Singapore had stepped up its disease outbreak response to orange on Feb 7, 2020.

Dorscon is part of Singapore's pandemic preparedness plan that describes the current situation and what has to be done. The stepping-down of the Dorscon level from orange to yellow is due to the improving local Covid-19 situation, where the number of daily cases is falling and stabilising; the high levels of vaccination; and the disease being typically mild, except in the unvaccinated and vulnerable groups such as the elderly. This was announced on Friday (April 22) in a virtual multi-ministry task force press conference.

In the Dorscon colour coding system, green means that there are just minor problems. Yellow - the status from April 26 - refers either to a mild infection, or a severe infection that is not spreading here, but of which the community needs to be careful. Orange means that the disease is severe with transmission, but is generally contained, and has moderate to high public health impact.
