The chair of Korean Air, Cho Yang-ho, has apologised for what he called the immature behaviour of his two daughters and said they would both immediately resign from their company posts following separate controversies.
Cho Hyun-min, the younger daughter, who is a marketing executive at the South Korean flag carrier, is under police investigation for assault after she was accused of throwing water in a mans face at a business meeting.
Four years ago her older sister, Cho Hyun-ah, made global headlines for kicking a cabin crew member off a plane after being served macadamia nuts in a bag rather than a bowl, an incident that became known as nut rage.
As chairman of Korean Air, as well as a father, I feel terrible about the immature actions of my daughters, Cho said in a statement. Everything is my fault and my wrongdoing. I apologise to the people.
Cho said his two daughters would immediately step down from all positions in the company.
