Chey Tae-won, the chairman of SK Group, has once again turned to the Supreme Court to contest a recent court decision that has ordered him to pay his ex-wife, Roh Soh-yeong, 944 billion won in property division, according to sources. The ruling came in July after the Seoul High Court sent the case back to the Supreme Court for review in October of the previous year.
The amount is significantly lower than the initial 1.38 trillion won ordered in 2024. Chey's alimony payment to Roh, the daughter of the late former President Roh Tae-woo, remains at 2 billion won. Experts suggest there is a slim chance of overturning the ruling, as the Supreme Court had already reviewed the case during its previous review in October.
Chey initiated the divorce proceedings in 2017, admitting to having an affair and a child with another woman. The couple married in 1988 and have three children together.
