Chey Tae-won, chairman of the SK Group, has once again petitioned the Supreme Court to reconsider a recent court ruling that mandates him to pay his ex-wife, Roh Soh-yeong, 944 billion won in property division. The Seoul High Court issued this ruling in July, following a review by the Supreme Court in October of the previous year. The amount, which is lower than the initial 1.38 trillion won ordered in 2024, includes a 2 billion won alimony payment to Roh, who is the daughter of former President Roh Tae-woo.
This appeal comes as Chey first filed for divorce in 2017 after confessing to having an affair and a child with another woman in 2015. Chey and Roh, who wed in 1988, share three children. Despite the ongoing legal battle, experts suggest that the likelihood of the Supreme Court overturning the ruling is slim, as the case was already reviewed at the lower court level in October of the prior year.
