”Nuts Return Incident” Korean Air employee's eldest daughter's luxury apartment up for auction = Korea

Cho Hyun-ah, former vice president of Korean Air, who received social criticism for the Korean Air "nut return" incident, has had her home seized due to habitual national tax default and the court has ordered her to be forced to abide by the conspiracy.
According to a report by the Korean women's monthly magazine "Woman Sense" on the 17th of this month, Cho has habitually defaulted on national taxes and has been in the position of being a tax evader.
He is said to have had his home seized four times by the government. He is in a dispute with his younger brother, Hanjin Group Chairman Cho Won-tae, over the management rights of Hanjin KAL, the holding company of Korean Air.
The house in question is a luxury apartment called Roadside Apartment in Dogok-dong, Gangnam-gu, Seoul.
Cho rented a room in the West Village apartment complex, which has one family per floor, in September 2018 for a deposit of 3 billion won (approximately 316 million yen).
He began living in the property, and in June 2020 he bought it for 4.5 billion won (approximately 474 million yen), and still lives there today.
This residence has 5 rooms, 3 bathrooms, and an exclusive area of 244.66 square meters.
The apartment complex is 298.43 square meters (90 pyeong) in size and 74 pyeong in floor space. The apartment complex was previously home to the Kim Bum Soo Future Initiative Center, the founder of Kakao.
The specific breakdown of the national taxes that Cho has overdue cannot be confirmed due to the Personal Information Protection Act. However, the main task of the tax collection department is to collect information on "individual business owners and legal entities."
The media pointed out that since the tax liability of a non-profit organization is “delinquent,” it is highly likely that he has defaulted on corporate tax and value-added tax.
The petition for a decision to commence a forced auction has been accepted. The court has determined that the requirements for compulsory execution and commencement of execution are appropriate, and is currently processing the petition.
At present, the amount being sought in the forced auction of Cho's home has not been disclosed, but the amount claimed in the auction of another apartment in the same apartment building as of January 2023 was
Considering that the valuation was 4.75 billion won (approximately 501.09 million yen), it is estimated to be worth less than 5 billion won (approximately 527.4 million yen).
Meanwhile, Cho said that in December 2014, while on a Korean Air flight departing from New York in first class, he was served macadamia nuts in a bag rather than on a plate.
In 2015, he was arrested and indicted in connection with the incident, and was sentenced to one year in prison for "course change" in the first instance.
However, on appeal he was found not guilty of the charge of changing course, given a 10-month prison sentence suspended for two years and released.
