INCHEON, South Korea - More than 300 South Korean workers detained in an immigration raid at a Georgia Hyundai plant last week have arrived in South Korea.
What we know:
The group was taken back to their home country on a charter plane Thursday, and flew overnight to get back to their families.
After their charter plane, a Boeing 747-8i from Korean Air, landed at Incheon International Airport, just west of Seoul, they appeared in an arrivals hall, with senior officials including presidential chief of staff Kang Hoon-sik clapping hands, the Associated Press reported.
What they're saying:
"We feel sorry that we failed to bring them back home much earlier, though we did our best," Kang later said in televised comments.
The plane carried 330 people who were detained in the Georgia raid
