"Can’t I go without the handcuffs?"...Park Wang-yeol complains after being cuffed on plane

The Financial News – Park Wang-yeol (48), a so-called "drug kingpin" who was brought back to Korea from the Philippines through a temporary extradition procedure, was seen complaining about his handcuffs during the flight to the Republic of Korea (ROK), asking that they be removed.
According to video footage released by the Ministry of Justice (MOJ) on the 25th, Park appeared at Clark International Airport the previous day, surrounded by local Philippine police officers and members of the Korean escort team, including Prosecutor HWANG Ik Jin of the International Criminal Affairs Division at the Ministry of Justice.
That day, Park Wang-yeol appeared wearing a navy baseball cap and a gray short-sleeved cardigan that revealed tattoos on his arm. He was not wearing a mask, so his face was fully visible. He had sunglasses hanging from his top, and his cuffed hands were covered with a gray towel.
Officials from both countries signed documents for Park’s temporary extradition, and the Philippine side removed his handcuffs just before he boarded Asiana Airlines Flight OZ708.
At around 1:30 a.m. local time on the 25th, shortly after boarding, the Korean escort team placed handcuffs on Park and informed him, "Since you are now aboard a Republic of Korea (ROK) aircraft, we will execute the arrest warrant," notifying him that a warrant had been issued on charges of violating the Narcotics Control Act. They then advised him of his Miranda rights, saying, "You may appoint a lawyer to assist you, and you have the right to remain silent."
During this process, Park briefly responded, "Yes, yes."
There were ordinary passengers on the flight as well, and it is reported that two escort officers sat on either side of Park, keeping him under close watch throughout the journey.
When the escort team told Park, "If you feel uncomfortable, please let us know," he asked, "But can’t I go without these (handcuffs) on?" Under extradition procedures, offenders are kept in handcuffs while on the plane.
Park arrived at the arrivals hall of Incheon International Airport at around 7:16 a.m. that day, maintaining a stern expression throughout.
He did not answer reporters’ questions about how he felt about being brought back to Korea, whether he had lived a lavish lifestyle in a Philippine prison, or whether he had given orders to his organization via Telegram. However, he suddenly turned to someone in the crowd who appeared to be an acquaintance and said, "You’re not even a man."
At around 7:18 a.m., Park boarded a waiting escort vehicle and was taken to the Gyeonggi Bukbu Provincial Police Agency.
