On August 10, SHOT News reported that a Russian girl named Tatyana was detained upon entering South Korea. She was held in a basement at Seoul Airport for several days before being deported back to Russia.
Tatyana attempted to travel to South Korea for a vacation via China. She had a valid entry permit, hotel booking confirmation, return ticket, and detailed itinerary. However, she was not allowed to enter the country and was taken for interrogation. There, she was asked some strange questions: to state the license plate number of the Korean bus she would be taking, and what she would eat for breakfast. Her documents were confiscated, her luggage was not returned, and her phone was checked for content.
Later, the girl received a South Korean entry denial document without any explanation, and she was placed in the airport basement, where there were another nine "lucky" people. They slept on chairs. Eventually, this Russian woman managed to buy a connecting return ticket and returned to Moscow.
