Korean Air chairman Cho Yang-ho's wife has allegedly become the latest member of his dysfunctional family to be caught out in a bizarre tantrum.

A video clip that surfaced online Monday shows a woman who is purportedly Cho's wife Lee Myung-hee turning on construction workers in a blind rage and shoving one violently out of the way while another tries to intervene.

The anonymous source who provided the video to a media outlet said the woman is Lee.

The clip was recorded in May 2014 at a construction site for the Grand Hyatt Incheon, which belongs to KAL Hotel Network, a subsidiary of Cho's Hanjin Group, and uploaded in a chat room for KAL staff to tip the media off about the owner family's abuses.

In the one-and-a-half-minute clip, the woman kicks objects on the ground and points her finger at standing workers. Then she jerks a female worker's hand and keeps shoving her back. A male worker who tries to stop her is then also being harangued by the woman, who snatches a bundle of documents he is holding and throws them on the floor.

The workers were identified as staff of a subcontractor in charge of landscaping for the hotel.
