According to the Convention for the Suppression of Unlawful Seizure of Aircraft, anyone who hijacks a civilian aircraft should be extradited or prosecuted “without exception whatsoever” (Art. 7), and be punished by “severe penalties” (Art. 2). My father’s name is Hwang Won (황 원), a TV producer for MBC. He was 32 years old at the time of his abduction.
Following a scathing international condemnation, North Korea promised on February 4, 1970 to return all 50 people (4 crew members and 46 passengers). But on February 14, 1970, the government broke its promise and returned only 39 passengers. - Hwang Cheol

What is #teamhwang doing? They are spreading awareness and fighting to have Hwang Cheol's father released from North Korea. Here is the team outside the front gate of the UN Office in Geneva. A group of people saw Mr. Hwang holding the banner and began asking what this was all about.

"In the winter of 1969, I was just 2 years old. My father boarded a plane to go on a business trip, but the plane was hijacked and then flown to North Korea.
In captivity, this is what my father cried out: “Send me back home! Honor the international law, international customary law, the humanitarian principles, and send me back home! Send me back to my loving family!” Despite his outcry, my father was taken away – like an animal to the slaughter house – beaten and tortured for 2 weeks.
My father’s name is Hwang Won, and he was a 32-year-old TV producer in South Korea." - Hwang Cheol

Why aren't more South Koreans fighting to have ALL victims of the 1969 Korean Air hijacking returned to South Korea? .

Hwang In-Cheol, a representative of the victim's family, said, "I was only two years old when my father was kidnapped. So far, North Korea has not given any information to my father." North Korea must immediately return 11 kidnapped people. I want to see my face. "

The kidnappings of Korean Air (KAL) passengers in 1969 and their families and human rights groups urged the UN Secretary-General in Geneva.
The event was hosted by Amnesty International, attended by lawyers for the unification of human rights on the Korean peninsula, and people who are making successful reunification.

On December 11, 1969, a Korean Air passenger plane departing from Gimpo to Gangneung was taken over by a spy within ten minutes of takeoff and changed its route to North Korea.
On February 14, 1970, when the international community condemned North Korea, 39 of its passengers and 50 crew members were repatriated, but seven passengers and four crew members were not returned.
Hwang Won-won, the father of Hwang In-cheol, who was working for MBC PD at the time, is still detained.
In 2006, North Korea only responded to the victims' families asking for confirmation of life and death because they could not confirm the abductees.
