Yonhap News Agency reports that the man also told police he was stressed after losing his job recently.
The man opened the door when the plane was about 700 feet (213m) as the aircraft was about to land.
The incident caused panic on board sending nine passengers to the hospital for breathing issues.
“Starting Sunday, the 31A and 26A emergency seats on its 14 A321-200 jets would no longer be offered for sale,” the airline said on Sunday.
“As a safety precaution, this measure will apply even if the flights are full,” it added.
