South Korean Court Reduces SK Group Chairman's Divorce Settlement to 944 Billion Won
A South Korean court reduced the divorce settlement that SK Group chairman Chey Tae-won must pay his ex-wife Roh Soh-yeong from 1.38 trillion won (940 million USD) to 944 billion won (approximately 640 million USD). The case, dubbed the "divorce of the century," involves the division of marital assets, including Chey's stake in SK Group. The Supreme Court had previously ordered a separate alimony payment of 2 billion won. Both parties may appeal the latest ruling, which reflects the valuation of assets amid SK Hynix's recent growth.
