Last year, airport workers in South Korea took away a lot of kimchi from people's bags. Kimchi is a popular Korean food made of spicy vegetables. The airport does not allow liquids in carry-on bags, and kimchi has liquid in it. They took about 11 tons of kimchi. This is as heavy as a big truck! The airport gave the kimchi to a place that helps people in need. Now, travelers need to put kimchi in their checked bags, not carry-on bags.
The airport also took away other Korean sauces. These rules are to keep flying safe. Some people made videos to tell others about these rules. It's important to know what you can bring on a plane when you travel.
