  "summary": "The divorce and property division case between SK Group Chairman Chey Tae-won and Art Center Nabi Director Roh Soh-yeong is nearing its final ruling, with a deadline of midnight on Aug. 14 for either side to appeal the high court’s retrial decision. If no appeals are filed, Chey will be ordered to pay Roh 944 billion won ($670 million), effectively ending a legal saga that began in 2017 when Chey filed for divorce mediation. The dispute started when the couple began living separately in 2005, and Chey attributes the breakdown of their marriage to his parents' deaths in 1997 and 1998, as well as Roh's alleged failure to provide emotional support. Chey was previously arrested in 2003 over an accounting fraud scandal.",
