SK chairman's divorce case nears final ruling

The divorce case between SK Group Chairman Chey Tae-won and Art Center Nabi Director Roh Soh-yeong is nearing its final ruling after more than nine years of litigation. The deadline for either side to appeal the high court’s retrial ruling on the property division is midnight on Aug. 14. If neither side appeals by then, the decision ordering Chey to pay Roh 944 billion won ($670 million) will become final, bringing their long-running legal saga to a close.

The dispute began in 2005 when they started living separately, with Chey attributing the breakdown of their marriage to his parents' deaths and Roh's failure to provide emotional support.
