Roh Tae-woo

Roh Tae-woo is currently in the news as the ex-wife of SK Group Chairman Chey Tae-won, who was recently ordered by a South Korean court to pay her a significant divorce settlement. The Seoul High Court mandated Chey Tae-won to pay 944 billion won (approximately $640 million) to Roh, a sum that, while substantial, is less than an initial award made in 2024. This case has been widely dubbed the "divorce of the century" by South Korean media. Roh Tae-woo is the daughter of former South Korean President Roh Tae-woo, adding a layer of historical and political context to the high-profile divorce proceedings. The ongoing financial and legal developments in this settlement continue to draw significant public and media attention.
