Korean Air Heiress Wants to Return to Family Business in Aftermath of “Nut Rage” Incident
It seems pretty clear that the brother is trying to sideline her because of the bad publicity her presence would bring. With that said people need to get over the whole “nut rage” incident. She was vilified, sent to jail, lost her job, humiliated, and then even divorced by her husband. I think she has been punished enough for turning a plane around at the airport:
Cho Hyun-ah, former Korean Air executive vice president, accused her younger brother Monday of not leading Hanjin Group in accordance with their father’s dying injunctions, signaling a sibling feud over control of the logistics-centered conglomerate.
Korea Times
Cho, who is notorious for her 2014 “nut rage” incident, released a statement via her legal representative, claiming that Hanjin Group Chairman Cho Won-tae is not following their father’s instructions regarding group management.
“Our father wanted the family to run the business together, but Hanjin Group is currently neglecting his last words,” Hyun-ah said through her legal representative.
Former Hanjin Group Chairman Cho Yang-ho died of a chronic lung disease in Los Angeles in April at the age of 70.
Their feud surfaced in May when the board of Hanjin KAL, the group’s holding company, belatedly named Won-tae as the group’s new chairman reorganized by the Fair Trade Act. Hyun-ah and her sister Hyun-min allegedly disagreed with their brother.
The three seemed to have reached a consensus when Won-tae told reporters that the three have ironed out their differences and agreed to work together. However, Hyun-ah has not yet returned to the family-run business.

It’s not just about “turning a plane around at the airport”. She’s vilified because of her arrogance and her abuse of someone she clearly views as there simply to serve her whim. She also has a terrible lack of self-control. All of those are great reasons for her to no longer be employed in any supervisory role, let alone in an executive position.

She’s certifiably nuts beyond the nut rage and plane back to the gate. She also has a foreign nanny hiring scandal and luxury goods smuggling charges against her. If there’s someone who deserved a piece of coal for Christmas!
Love of money has destroyed many families and other relationships.
Setnaffa, I think it’s both money & power that she gets from the DNA lottery. The “gold rule” the one with the gold makes the rules…her brother (rightfully) sidelined her and she’s angry that she no longer has power to throw around to always win depending on her mood.
You could be right Doc. I have made it a personal rulevnot to try too hard to understand women. Women understand women and they hate each other. I just try to apologize first, when I’m paying attention.
