S. Korean Heiress Who Went Viral For ‘Nuts’ in 2014 Back On The News Again

I’m sure all of us have been driven nuts by someone at one point or other in our lives. Sometimes it may have to do with family members stealing our food we painstakingly hid in the fridge.

Other times it’s because you just want some peace and quiet but the other person just won’t stop talking.

If you thought you’d heard the last of her after that viral incident, you couldn’t be more wrong.

S. Korean Heiress Who Went Viral For ‘Nuts’ in 2014 Back On The News Again

Yes, the infamous South Korean heiress named Heather Cho, a former Korean Air Lines executive is back in the news.

Thankfully, it doesn’t have to do with any almonds or peanuts.

This time around, she is accusing her younger brother of disobeying their late father’s will to manage the airline’s parent company together.

She claims that her younger brother is ignoring the wishes of their father, late chairman Cho Yang-ho who wanted “harmony” in the family’s management of Korean Air parent Hanjin Group.

Brother Made Management Decisions Without Prior Consultations

Background: Cho Won-tae was named chairman of Hanjin Group in April and is the chief executive officer of Korean Air.

A statement issued by Heather Cho’s lawyers on Monday claimed that her brother, who’s name is Cho Won-tae, allegedly made management decisions without consulting her.

“The late chairman had asked the family to lead Hanjin Group with harmony … yet chairman Cho Won-tae has been making management decisions not aligned with (the late chairman’s) will, and is still being insincere when it comes to family discussions regarding the management of the group.”

The statement also explained that Heather is keen on listening to the views of various shareholders and arrange meetings with them to pursue Hanjin Group’s development.

All she wants is that her late father’s wishes are met.

Heather Cho and Emily Cho Scandals

Heather Cho and Emily Cho stepped down from their positions at Korean Air in April 2018 following public outcry regarding their respective behaviours.

Cho with regards to the nut incident and Emily after she threw a drink at two business meeting attendees.

However, she has since apologised for her “foolish behaviour” and was cleared of all charges.

This all sounds like a soap opera to me, kinda like Dynasty on Netflix. Fighting for the family business? #cantrelate

But I sincerely hope that they will be able to resolve their differences for the sake of their late father.
