Another daughter of the Korean Air chairman Cho Yang-ho has become embroiled in an assault scandal that seems to expose an anger management problem in the troubled family. 
 
 Cho Hyun-min (35), a senior vice president of Korean Air, threw a water bottle in the face of a staffer at a subcontracted advertising firm in a fit of rage during a meeting, according to reports. 
 
 It is the latest scandal embroiling the chairman's daughters after the notorious "nut rage" incident when Cho Hyun-ah, then in charge of in-flight services, forced a Korean Air plane to turn back to the gate and assaulted the purser because she had been served nuts in a bag instead of a bowl. 
 
 Korean Air initially denied the account, claiming that "water splashed" after it "was thrown on the floor," but the story was "exaggerated." 
 
 Cho Hyun-min flew into a rage when a staffer at the ad agency was unable to answer her questions during a meeting last month. The story soon spread on the firm's intranet, saying that Cho asked an irrelevant question and threw a fit when the staffer failed to answer and threw one water bottle at the wall and another in the staffer's face. 
 
 She was unable to contain her hissy fit and forced the staffer to apologize, the reports said. But Korean Air claims tempers rose when Cho discovered that footage she had requested had not been filmed. 
 
 It said Cho later e-mailed apologies to each ad agency staffer who was present at that meeting and denied the staffer was forced to apologize. The ad agency said commenting on the incident would violate a confidentiality agreement signed with the client. 
 
 After the scandal broke in the international press, Cho posted a message on social media on Thursday and said, "I bow my head in apology for my foolish and careless act. My actions cannot be allowed under any circumstances." 
 
 She claimed to have been overcome by her "passion for advertising" but conceded it "should not have superseded respect for others. I committed a serious mistake by failing to control my emotions." 
 
 Cho has taken a leave of absence.

 SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — Korean Air Lines said Monday it has suspended one of its chairman's daughters from her marketing work after she threw a tantrum at a business meeting, triggering public outrage and a police investigation. 
 
 The daughter, Cho Hyun-min, also known as Emily Cho, is the younger sister of another Korean Air executive whose onboard "nut rage" outburst delayed a flight in 2014. 
 
 The flag carrier said Cho, a senior vice president, was suspended from work starting Monday. It said it will take further action following the police investigation. 
 
 Cho allegedly hurled a cup of water at an ad agency official during a meeting last month. She later apologized on Facebook, saying the outburst was sparked by her passion for commercials. Cho oversaw the company's marketing and commercials. 
 
 "I apologize for my foolish behavior," she said on Facebook. "It is my big fault that I could not control my emotions." 
 
 Cho's sister, Hyun-ah, achieved worldwide notoriety after delaying a flight at John F. Kennedy Airport over the way nuts were served. 
 
 The police investigation will determine whether Cho threw the water on the floor, as Korean Air maintains, or toward the ad agency official's face, as some media report, which could constitute physical assault. 
 
 The case is seen as the latest abuse of power by elite business families which exercise outsized influence over publicly listed companies in South Korea, even though the families are not majority shareholders. Members of the founding families of giant business groups called chaebol, often including the second or third generations, are treated as "emperors." Although Korean Air Lines is a listed company, Cho's older sister's anger over macadamia nuts being served in a bag, not on a plate, was powerful enough to force the taxiing flight to return to the gate. 
 
 More than 56,000 South Koreans have signed a petition submitted to the presidential office asking the government to stop Korean Air from using the word "Korea" in its name and stop using a logo resembling the national flag. 
 
 "There is a huge chance that foreigners who read the news about the founding family's abuse of power would assume that it is part of South Korea's national image," the petition read.
– Another daughter of a South Korean airline exec is in trouble after a public tantrum. Emily Cho, a senior VP of Korean Air, has apologized after an outburst during a meeting in which she threw water, or perhaps a water bottle, at or near a subordinate in a fit of anger, reports Reuters. Cho, also known as Cho Hyun-min, is the daughter of airline chairman Cho Yang-ho. But the reason the incident is generating so many headlines is because Cho also is the sister of Heather Cho, she of the infamous "nut rage" incident of 2014. In that one, Heather Cho forced a taxiing Korean Air jet to return to the gate because she had been served nuts in a bag instead of a bowl, and she wanted the chief flight attendant kicked off. Heather Cho not only lost her executive post at the airline, she was sentenced to a year in jail for endangering aviation safety. The details of Emily Cho's outburst are less clear, but the Chosunilbo reports that she threw a water bottle in the face of an employee of an ad firm that was doing work for the airline. The AP reports that she threw a cup of water, and the airline maintains that Cho pushed it on the floor, not toward the staffer's face. “As I was focusing on my passion for the work, I was unable to control my thoughtless words and deeds, through which I caused injury and disappointment for a lot of people,” said Cho, who has been suspended from her airline post overseeing ads and marketing. Police are investigating the incident. Cho could face assault charges if investigators conclude she did indeed throw something at the subordinate's face.
