The ruling comes after years of legal fights over Chey’s affair, his child with another woman, and the fortune he built through the SK business empire. Highlights Billionaire Chey Tae-won was ordered to pay ex-wife Roh Soh-yeong approximately $645 million in one of South Korea’s biggest divorce rulings. The case centered on Chey’s affair, disputed business assets, and claims about Roh’s family’s role in building the SK business empire. They claimed the note supported their argument that Roh’s father secretly provided money that helped Chey’s family expand the company. ADVERTISEMENTThe court later ordered Chey and Kim to pay Roh about $1.5 million in damages jointly.
