Police said Monday they called in officials of an adverting company to check allegations that a daughter of Korean Air Lines Co.'s chief insulted one of their colleagues during a business meeting.
The Seoul Gangseo Police Station was questioning some of the eight officials of the ad firm as reference witnesses to cross-check arguments from both sides, officials said.
Police have launched a preliminary investigation into allegations that Cho Hyun-min, a senior executive at South Korea's major air carrier and the younger daughter of the chairman, insulted the ad firm manager in a meeting last month because he did not answer her questions properly.
She is accused of yelling at the manager and throwing a cup of water in his face.
