SK Group Chairman Chey Tae-won legal disputes

Overview

SK Group Chairman Chey Tae-won is engaged in a multi-faceted legal battle involving his divorce and asset division with Roh So-young, director of Art Center Nabi.

In September 2026, Chey appealed a prosecution decision not to indict a lawyer representing Roh. The dispute involves allegations that Chey spent over 100 billion won on a companion; Chey’s legal team argues this figure is a “gross exaggeration” and includes unrelated expenditures such as donations and real estate.

Simultaneously, Chey has filed a final appeal with the Supreme Court regarding the asset division ruling. While he accepted 700 billion won of a previous high court order to expedite the process, he is contesting the remaining 244 billion won. The Supreme Court will review whether certain shares acquired after the marriage breakdown are divisible and evaluate the 33.3% contribution rate assigned to Roh, particularly concerning the handling of former President Roh Tae-woo’s slush funds.
