HKA South Korean court ruled that SK Group Chairman Chey Tae-won must pay his former wife, Roh Soh-yeong, 944 billion won (approximately US$644 million) in a divorce-related property division case. This amount is lower than an initial award of 1.38 trillion won, which had raised questions about Chey's ownership stake in the group's holding company. The ruling, if finalized, would make it the most expensive divorce in South Korea's history. Chey, whose net worth is estimated at US$5.6 billion, married Roh, the daughter of a former president, in 1988, linking two prominent political and business families. Their marriage faced public scrutiny in 2015 when Chey admitted to having a child with another woman. The case has gained further significance due to SK Hynix's recent surge in value, driven by demand for high-bandwidth memory chips used in AI, which has increased the financial stakes of the dispute.
