KRA Seoul appellate court was set to issue its ruling on the asset division case between SK Group Chairman Chey Tae-won and his former wife, Roh Soh-yeong, nearly a decade after divorce proceedings began. The case returned to the appellate court after the Supreme Court remanded it in October 2024. Key disputes include whether Chey’s SK Inc. stocks should be classified as separate or joint property, as well as the valuation date for these shares, which have fluctuated significantly in value over time. In May 2024, the Seoul High Court ordered Chey to pay approximately 1.38 trillion won to Roh based on allegations of a slush fund, but the Supreme Court later overturned this decision, stating the fund could not be considered due to its potential illegality.
