Quoting from: https://www.independent.co.uk/asia/east-asia/south-korea-plane-crash-jeju-air-cause-what-happened-b2671091.html

Transport Ministry officials have said their early assessment of communications records show the airport control tower issued a bird strike warning to the plane shortly before it intended to land. The flight had reportedly attempted one landing before being forced to “go around” when the landing gear failed to lower normally.

8.57am local time: Muan International Airport’s control tower issued a warning over possible bird strikes.

8.58am: The pilot sent a “Mayday” distress signal.

9am: The plane attempted to land on the runway but failed to deploy its landing gear.

9.03am: The aircraft crash-landed on its fuselage, collided with the airport fence, and erupted into flames.

8:58 they declare mayday because of no landing gear and two minutes later they’re attempting the riskiest landing of their lives? I bet „no landing gear” checklist is a bit longer than two minutes.

Yeah unless they were out of fuel, isn't the procedure to... Orbit and use nearly all fuel?

If they had the bird strike like they announced, it might stop their engines mid go-around, what is really bad spot to be in

Got it, I assumed the mentioned bird strike related specifically to the nosecone area and the front landing gear, but engine fidelity remained. Again, an assumption based on my first read
