Daughter of Korean Air chief apologises over 'foolish behavior'

A daughter of the chairman of Korean Air Lines apologised Thursday for her “foolish behavior”, following media reports that she threw a water bottle at the face of a manager at the airline’s advertising agency. It is the latest controversy to engulf the chairman’s family after the so-called “nut rage” incident, when his elder daughter Heather Cho flew into a rage on an aircraft over the manner in which she was served nuts in first class. In the latest incident, angered by the manager’s inability to answer a question, Cho Hyun-min, a senior VP of Korean Air, threw a bottle at a wall, followed by another at the individual’s face, the Kookmin Ilbo newspaper and other media said, quoting a posting on anonymous mobile application Blind. In a posting on Facebook, Cho, who is also executive VP at budget affiliate Jin Air, said her behaviour was unacceptable, calling her action “foolish and careless”, but gave no details. “Although I have great love toward the advertisements, it is more important to have respect and appreciation for other people,” she added. “So it is my big fault that I was not able to manage my feelings.”<br/>
