The latest arrests of former Asiana Group Chairman Park Sam-koo and Eastar Jet founder Lee Sang-jik illustrate the rise and fall of two airline business moguls.
The two came from different backgrounds, with Park being the second generation of a chaebol family and Lee being a self-made entrepreneur.
For both, it was an airline that allowed them to accumulate wealth and fame, before they ended up getting arrested ― Park on May 13 and Lee on April 28 ― on embezzlement and other charges.

A court issued an arrest warrant on Wednesday for the founder of cash-strapped budget carrier Eastar Jet on charges of embezzlement and breach of trust.
Lee Sang-jik, an independent lawmaker, is suspected of colluding with a senior company official who was indicted in February for causing about 43 billion won (US$38.47 million) in financial damage to the airline by paying off long-term loans early and underselling company shares to a specific subsidiary.
Judge Kim Seung-gon of the Jeonju District Court issued the warrant sought by prosecutors, saying the suspect may falsify evidence or try to coax others involved in the case to make or not to make a certain statement judging from his behaviors shown in the investigation process.
