Korean Air chairman says two daughters will step down from company posts
Korean Air Line
One of the daughters, Cho Hyun-min, a senior vice president at the airline, is under investigation by police for possible assault after it was reported she sprayed water at people during a business meeting
Korean Air Lines chairman Cho Yang-ho said on Sunday announced that his two daughters would immediately step down from their positions at the company.
One of the daughters, Cho Hyun-min, a senior vice president at the airline, is under investigation by police for possible assault after it was reported she sprayed water at people during a business meeting.
Her older sister, Heather Cho, made global headlines over a notorious “nut rage” incident in 2014 when she lost her temper over the way she was served nuts in the first class and ordered the Korean Air carrier to return to its gate at a New York airport.
Cho Hyun-min, a senior vice president at the airline also known as Emily Cho, is accused of yelling at and throwing a cup of plum juice at an advertising firm manager last month. She told reporters at the airport on Sunday that she merely "pushed" a cup and didn't throw it at anyone's face.
Seoul’s Gangseo Police Station is investigating the criminal case and requested Cho's travel ban from the justice ministry on Tuesday.
Korean Air has suspended the 35-year-old graduate of the University of Southern California, who apologized to all Korean Air employees in an email and posted another apology via social media that read, in part, "It is my big fault for not controlling my own emotions."
