SK Group chairman challenges court's property division in divorce suit with ex-wife

SK Group Chairman Chey Tae-won has filed an appeal with the Supreme Court challenging the property division ruling from his divorce suit with ex-wife Roh Soh-yeong. The court initially ordered her to receive 33 percent of their shared property, amounting to 944 billion won ($707.8 million). This decision was overturned by the Supreme Court, which sent the case back for retrial a year ago.

The appellate court determined that Roh's alleged 30 billion-won slush fund, provided to SK Group, should not be considered part of the marriage's assets, as it would have been illegal. In his appeal document, Chey disputes the legality of the appellate court's latest decision, arguing against the property division ruling.
