After overcoming pariah status at the end of the last century, South Korea must learn what caused the catastrophe on Dec. 29 and what lessons to draw from it.

The aftermath of the Jeju Air crash at Muan International Airport in Muan County, South Jeolla Province, has dealt a severe blow to Vietnamese tourist destinations popular with South Koreans, leading to a significant drop in travelers.
