All three official children are also graduates of the University of Southern California. His daughter, Cho Hyun-ah, ran the company's hotel division. She was the subject of a December 2014 news report alleging that she physically struck crew members, ordered a crew member to kneel and beg for forgiveness, and ordered a Korean Air Lines plane to return to the gate to force a flight attendant off the plane because a packet of macadamia nuts was served to her in a bag rather than on a plate. She was forced to resign after the incident and was sentenced to one year imprisonment without probation in February 2015. She was released after serving 3 months.
