SEOUL -- Cho Hyun-ah, a former Korean Air vice president known for a "nut rage" incident in 2014, is reportedly dallying away with a divorce suit filed by her orthopedist husband to end eight years of their marital status.
Cho, 44, married her elementary school classmate in October 2010 and has twin children. The husband who runs an orthopedic clinic in southern Seoul filed for a divorce suit on April 2, but Cho has not selected a legal representative, delaying court proceedings, according to Yonhap News Agency on Monday.
Cho, the first daughter of Hanjin Group chairman Cho Yang-ho, resigned as Korean Air's vice president after she threw a tantrum aboard a plane in December 2014. In March this year, she returned as president of KAL Hotel Network, the group's hotel business wing, but she stepped down again this month after her younger sister, Cho Hyun-min, was accused of throwing water at an advertising agency employee during a business meeting.
Public anger has been widespread over Hyun-min's arrogant behavior and insulting remarks at a number of private and business meetings. Many South Koreans saw it as emblematic of a generation of spoilt and arrogant offsprings of South Korea's family-run conglomerate owners.
