Asiana chairman apologises over sexual harassment accusations

Kumho Asiana Chairman Park Sam-koo has apologised over allegations that he sexually harassed the company's flight attendants. In a statement released February 12, Park, 72, said he was sorry for those who "felt uncomfortable" with what he did. But he gave no details of what he did, nor did he admit that he physically touched them against their will. Park had been accused of forcing some flight attendants to hug him or hold his hand when he visited Asiana's headquarters. "I am the only one to blame for this," Park said. "It is my fault that some employees felt uncomfortable with what I did during my visit … I apologize to them and I will ensure that it won't happen again." His apology came after dozens of employees brought sexual allegations against him on Blind, an application that allows insiders to talk about their companies anonymously. <br/>
