Cho Choong Hoon
▪ 2003

      South Korean businessman (b. Feb. 11, 1920, Seoul, Korea—d. Nov. 17, 2002, Seoul, S.Kor.), founded the Hanjin Group, which became the eighth largest conglomerate in the country and included 21 companies, including Korean Air Lines, for which he served as chairman from 1969 to 1999. Cho, who aggressively expanded Korean Air Lines and tripled revenues during the 1980s and '90s, was forced to resign as chairman of the airline following a series of plane crashes that claimed the lives of more than 800 people between 1983 and 1999.
