SEOUL (South Korea) – The widow and daughter of Korean Air president Cho Yang-ho has appeared in court for illegally hiring domestic workers in the Philippines.
Lee Myung-hee and his daughter, Cho Hyun-ah, refused to answer reporters' questions Thursday after appearing in a Seoul court.
Cho Hyun-ah gained notoriety in 2014 after ordering a Korean Air pbadenger plane to return to a terminal at John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York, because she was angry that the crew served her macadamia nuts in a bag rather than on a plate. . The incident, dubbed "nut rage," made international headlines and seriously tarnished the image of the Cho family.
Cho would have admitted the charges but Lee no.
Lee faces separate criminal charges for allegedly mistreating his staff.
