While SK Group Chairman Chey Tae-won and Art Center Director Noh So-young’s reversal of the property division lawsuit is scheduled for the 24th, foreign media are also paying attention to the results of the “divorce of the century” lawsuit.<\/p>\n
On the 22nd (local time), the Wall Street Journal (WSJ) dealt with the divorce lawsuit of the two under the title of “a billionaire who has made enormous wealth from AI, and his ex-wife who demanded half of it.” The WSJ described the incident as a “real-life K-drama involving money and romance, corruption and betrayal,” shedding light on the historical background and impact of the lawsuit.<\/p>\n
According to reports, the reason why foreign media is paying attention to the ruling is the soaring value of SK Group’s assets following the global artificial intelligence (AI) craze. SK Hynix, led by Chairman Choi, has seen its stock price soar this year as it has emerged as the core of Nvidia’s supply chain. As a result, Chairman Choi’s assets are estimated to have more than doubled to about 5 billion dollars (about 7.4 trillion won).<\/p>\n
The issue is the timing and contribution of the division of property. Director Roh’s position is that the division of property should be made based on the date of the conclusion of the remand hearing. On the other hand, Chairman Choi argues that the timing of the closing of the appeal hearing should be applied as the factual trial of the divorce lawsuit ended at the appeal trial. At the end of the appeal hearing, the stock price is about 160,000 won, and in June last year, at the end of the appeal hearing, the stock price is about 815,000 won.<\/p>\n
In addition, attention is also being paid to whether the 35% that was judged by director Roh’s contribution in the appeal trial will be maintained. However, the prevailing view is that it is not easy to maintain this ratio as the Supreme Court overturns it.<\/p>\n
Legal experts also predict that Roh’s receipt could reach up to $1 billion (about 1.48 trillion won) according to the court’s ruling. In this case, Chairman Choi’s weakening of SK Group’s control and the possibility of exposing external pressure such as activist funds are also discussed.<\/p>\n
The WSJ cited decades of atrocities, from the “century marriage” in 1988, when the relationship between the two began, to Chairman Choi’s confession of extramarital affairs and divorce notification in 2015, and the controversy over political and economic collusion and slush funds in the 1990s.<\/p>\n
Earlier, the first trial of the divorce and property division lawsuit ruled that Chairman Choi should pay Roh 100 million won in alimony and 66.5 billion won in cash in property division. On the other hand, in recognition of Roh’s contribution, the second trial drastically increased the alimony that Chairman Choi had to pay to 2 billion won and the property division to 1.388 trillion won. However, the Supreme Court destroyed and returned the part of the division, saying that even if the money flowed into SK because former President Roh Tae-woo’s slush funds were illegal funds, it cannot be taken into account as Roh’s contribution to the division.<\/p>\n
On the 24th, the court will issue a ruling to determine the final amount of property division and the level of alimony between Chairman Choi and Director Roh.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Conclusion of the repatriation trial on the 24th of the destruction of the property divisionWSJ “Including money, romance,…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":95853,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[23],"tags":[49911,2588,29763,49906,49905,49908,49909,241,49910,240,49907],"class_list":["post-95852","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-sk","tag-art-center","tag-artificial-intelligence","tag-billionaire","tag-breakdown-sentencing","tag-divorce-litigation","tag-final-judgment","tag-property-split","tag-sk","tag-sk-chairman","tag-sk-group","tag-wall-street-journal"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/korea\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/95852","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/korea\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/korea\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/korea\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/korea\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=95852"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/korea\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/95852\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/korea\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/95853"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/korea\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=95852"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/korea\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=95852"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/korea\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=95852"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
