    ‘Nut Rage’ Whistleblower Says Korean Air Retaliated Against Him

    SEOUL, South Korea--The whistleblower who exposed the actions of the Korean Air chairman’s daughter who forced a plane to return to its gate in a tiff over macadamia nuts is suing her and the airline, accusing them of illegally demoting and ostracizing him.


    “My case illustrates how those who say no to economic power in South Korea come under a systematic attack from their organization,” the whistleblower, Park Chang-jin, said during a news conference on Monday. “I hope my case will help our society to think about the dignity and rights of common workers.”


    The 2014 episode, which became known as a case of “nut rage,” led to international condemnation and ridicule of the chairman’s daughter, Cho Hyun-ah, after she became angry that a first-class flight attendant served the nuts without first asking her, then in an unopened package rather than on a plate, according to court documents.


    Cho was vice president at the company at the time.


    Park, who was the chief flight attendant on the plane, had said that Cho forced him and the junior attendant who served the nuts to apologize on their knees, “like slaves in a medieval era.” She used abusive language and threw documents at one of the flight attendants, prosecutors had said.


    Still not satisfied, Cho stopped the Korean Air plane while it was taxiing at Kennedy International Airport in New York and forced it to return to the gate so that Park could be removed.


    Park took a leave of absence to recover from a psychological trauma. And when he returned to work in May of last year, Korean Air demoted him from cabin crew chief to flight attendant, citing what it called his poor English. He and his lawyers said the demotion was an illegal retaliation against his whistleblowing.


    Korean Air denied the charge.


    “There has been no discrimination or unfairness against him,” the company said in a statement for this article. “We dealt with his case strictly according to our regulations.”


    The episode set off outrage in South Korea, where many harbor deep misgivings about the perceived arrogance of the families who control the country’s major conglomerates. A Korean Air executive has been convicted of pressing the flight’s crew to lie to government investigators to protect Cho.


    Cho, who was fired by her father after her scandal erupted, was sentenced to one year in prison in 2015 on charges of violating aviation safety laws. She was freed three months later after an appeals court judge reduced and suspended her prison term.


    Lee Young-kee, who leads the Horuragi Foundation, an advocacy group for whistleblowers, said that Korean Air’s treatment of Park was typical of the hardship faced by whistleblowers in South Korea.


    In the country’s rigidly hierarchical office culture, whistleblowers are commonly seen as betrayers, analysts said. After exposing corruption in their organizations, they are often demoted, ostracized, fired or harassed with lawsuits from managers.


    South Koreans are demanding higher standards from their leaders and big companies after the impeachment of former President Park Geun-hye, who is on trial on charges of collecting bribes from big businesses. But the lack of protection for whistleblowers is cited as a major stumbling block.

    One would like to think it's an open and shut case considering they were the c u n t s that promoted him in the first place.

    I hope he rapes the fuckers for a fortune.

    Korean Air 'nut rage' executive avoids jail time after Seoul court upholds suspended prison term


    Cho was previously sentenced to a year in prison, but that was shortened to 10 months suspended for two years.

    Key points:
    • Cho Hyun-ah lashed out when she was served nuts in a bag instead of on a dish onboard a 2014 flight
    • She forced the plane to return to the gate at John F Kennedy airport
    • The case has been a lightning for anger towards South Korea's powerful family-owned conglomerates


    Cho Hyun-ah, who is the daughter of the company's chairman and was the head of the airline's cabin service at the time of the incident,
    achieved worldwide notoriety after she had an onboard tantrum when a first-class flight attendant served her nuts in a bag instead of in a dish.

    Infuriated, Cho ordered the chief flight attendant off the flight, forcing the plane to the gate at New York's John F Kennedy Airport.

    Cho was previously sentenced to one year in prison.

    What a fuss all over a bag of peanuts. Just Imagine the news in South Korea.

    "Kim Jong Un threatens to annihilate us at any moment and in other news the airline heiress who had a fit over a bag of peanuts gets no jail time."

    Jail time is quite a severe punishment , getting sacked from her job and a fine would have been enough

    Amusing watching HiSo Koreans when they get caught. They spend a fortune on make up to make them look beleaguered, and dress in cheap or shit clothes. Might go with a wheel chair or something like that to try and get pity, and off they go in front of the camera... sorry... ill.... hardship.... and camera off, into the Bentley and off they go to carry on as usual.

    Korean Air 'nut rage' sisters step down from airline, father apologises

    Korean Air Lines chairman Cho Yang-ho has apologised for the behaviour of his two daughters and say they will immediately
    step down from their positions at the company.


    One of the daughters, Cho Hyun-min, also known as Emily, a senior vice-president at the airline, is under investigation by police
    for suspected assault for allegedly throwing water at an attendee of a business meeting.


    Her older sister, Cho Hyun-ah, also known as Heather, made global headlines in 2014 when she ordered a Korean Air plane to return to its gate at a New York airport because she was angry over the way she had been served nuts in first class.


    She was jailed and returned to work as an executive of Korean Air's hotel affiliate in March.
    Mr Cho said the company would "turn over a new leaf" with stronger management led by its board.


    "As chairman of Korean Air as well as a father, I am terribly sorry for my daughter's misstep," he said in a statement.
    "Everything is my responsibility and fault."
