Most of you probably remember the viral 2014 incident in which a Korean Air executive, Heather Cho (also the daughter of the company's chairman), went berserk after a flight attendant served her nuts in a bag rather than in a ramekin. She was flying first class from New York to Seoul Incheon, anddemanded that the…

She is just abusive. They would have been taken to the cleaners in America.
A few rich powerful families controlling a country. This is what trump's America would like if the sane Americans didn't put a fight.
In south Korea really different than north Korea? Is America really that different than Russia? Not until Donny is put I the prison. Then may be i will believe the system works.

It interests me and I have been a reader since when lucky was only getting diet cokes on his flights.
Classy family. This is what happens when you have virtually unchecked power and wealth in the hands of an elite few.
This also reinforces my theory that the only reason Korean Air installed a first class cabin with a seat identical to the biz cabin is so that these heirs don’t have to mingle with common business-folk.
Well not sure if what's reported by Korea Times is true or what's reported by Korean Air themselves but either way, I think we all can agree on one thing being true.......that the Cho family seems to have some serious temper problems.
Why is this on this site? Is the person getting compensated in miles and points? Does the sister gets extra bonus miles if she hits the target with the water cup?
@RF
Yes. "Chaebols are a scourge in South Korea."
and until they realize that, S.Korea will never be taken seriously as a 1st world country.
I love Korea and Korean culture, but they need to deal with this attitude of absolute power.
I'm sure it was still insincere, but at least the language used in the apology was a refreshing change from the standard:
"I apologize that my actions offended you in some way."
Korea wasn't a wealthy nation until fairly recently. A lot of the older generation (and their children) are either uneducated, spoiled or both (like what China is experiencing). It'll take a while before the current younger generation (who are largely well educated, often overseas) replaces those older Koreans.
very unique this Cho family..would like to have chat with these two unique ladies in KE F cabin...oh I will certainly serve them the nuts and water they deserve! Proactively top them.. on their face!!
Koreans being Koreans. This is part of the culture. As someone who has actually negotiated contracts with Korean Air, I can tell you this behavior is par for the course. Only customer who has threatened to kill me.
Ryan you should write a guest article about when Korean air threatened to kill you. That would be hilarious.
It is a Chaebol-thing where a few rich families are indirectly ruling the country.. Remember Park Geun-hye? She was sentenced to 24 years... for blackmailing these Chaebol.
Myles, I would like to join you in your proposed action against these sisters from Hell. Madame Park has now received a very lengthy jail term but unfortunately we all know that this corrupt Asian disease is not going to go away soon.
@Lily Ming
you are gladly welcomed to join the party..beware that I do not bow down to any despot and respond accordingly to such..hope you are able to keep up..I hate waiting for someone..
Bring your best attitudes and attributes as I always show them,especially to those who deserves them, how "lovely" I can be! And lastly fear nobody and be prepared to engage..I hate defeatist and cowards..if your are so, I will serve you as an hors d'oeuvre to the Cho sisters on the finest bone china...
Just kidding! Hop on, on the next KE F flight, those Cho sisters better watch out..LOL !
Know what? I won't fly Korean anymore. Bunch of f*cking c*nts using nepotism to abuse people.
@OMAAT- The nut rage sisters both stepped down. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.bbc.com/news/amp/world-asia-43856839
So it is getting hot for the Cho family..the evil sisters have to go..where?..back in their golden cage at home..no more working..just let Daddy and big brother earn the green bucks so they can spend from know on more privately outside the glaring eyes of the Korean public..
Seriously no pity at all!..these two hell ladies are so rich..they just laugh about all these public chastising..at least the Korean public has their contentment in some way or another.
