SK Group Chairman Chey Tae-won and his former wife, Roh Soh-yeong, appear in court for mediation in their high-profile divorce asset division dispute, but the parties do not reach an agreement. Both attend a Seoul High Court mediation session after the Supreme Court remands the case to the Seoul High Court. The Supreme Court previously overturns the appellate court’s asset division ruling while confirming the divorce. It is the second mediation session for the asset division, and it marks the first time Chey and Roh face each other in court since April 2024. The two sides continue to differ over whether Chey’s SK holdings should be included in the marital property to be divided. Chey’s side argues the SK stocks should not be considered because they were inherited or gifted, while Roh’s side argues the stocks fall under marital property. After the mediation ends without agreement, the Seoul High Court moves the case back to trial proceedings and schedules oral arguments for June 26. Earlier, in May 2024, the Seoul High Court ordered Chey to pay about 1.38 trillion won in asset division to Roh.

SK Group Chairman Chey Tae-won and his former wife, Roh Soh-yeong, failed to reach an agreement in a court mediation session for the division of their assets Monday, putting the high-profile divorce settlement case back to trial proceedings. The two sides had entered mediation for the asset division after the Supreme Court remanded the case to the Seoul High Court last October, while confirming the divorce. They have remained far apart on whether Chey's SK stocks should be included in the division. The Seoul High Court decided to end mediation and hold oral arguments on June 26, as the two sides apparently failed to narrow differences. Chey and Roh both appeared for their second mediation session earlier in the day, which marked the first time the two had faced each other in court since April 2024. Chey's side has argued that the stocks should not be considered as they were inherited or gifted, while Roh's side has claimed that they fall under marital property. In May 2024, the Seoul High Court ordered Chey to pay about 1.38 trillion won ($913 million) in asset division to Roh, recognizing

The two sides have entered mediation for the division of their assets after the Supreme Court remanded the case to the Seoul High Court last October, overturning the appellate court's asset division ruling while confirming the divorce. "(I) hope the mediation goes well and that it ends quickly," Chey told reporters as he arrived at the Seoul High Court. Roh, the daughter of late former President Roh Tae-woo, entered the court without responding to reporters' questions. It marked the first time the two have faced each other in court since April 2024. The two sides are likely to clash on whether Chey's SK stocks should be included in the division, following last month's first session at the Seoul High Court. Chey's side has argued that the stocks should not be considered as they were inherited or gifted, while Roh's side has claimed that they fall under marital property. In May 2024, the Seoul High Court ordered Chey to
