SK Group chairman Chey Tae-won has recently incurred court filing fees exceeding $577,000 for his appeal in a property division case with his ex-wife, Roh Soh-yeong, according to legal sources. The Supreme Court received his appeal on Monday after Chey made the payment of approximately 850 million won, the sources added. The fee is determined by the magnitude of the suit.
Chey submitted his appeal last month following the Seoul High Court's order in July, which mandated him to pay Roh 944 billion won in a property division. His legal team has indicated their willingness to accept up to 700 billion won of the ruling but contested the remaining portion. Roh has not yet contested the appellate court's ruling.
Chey initiated divorce proceedings in 2017, acknowledging that he had an affair and a child with Roh two years prior. Chey and Roh were married in 1988 and have three children together. The case reached the Supreme Court last year, which finalized the divorce but sent the property settlement back to the appellate court for further review. The case has now been returned to the top court due to Chey's appeal.
