Chey, who is 59, has been in divorce mode with his soon to be ex since 2017. Back then they failed to reach a settlement. The reason for their divorce is not known, however, the fact that Chey sent a three-page letter to a local newspaper revealing he had fathered a child outside of his marriage may have something to do with it. That letter also revealed that he intended to divorce Roh.

After Roh filed her lawsuit demanding 42.3% of her husband’s shares, she took to her Facebook page to post that she was ready to move on. For years she held out hope that they could patch things up. She wrote: “But now I don’t see hope anymore. I now think it’s right to let my husband go find the happiness he wants so desperately.”

Roh is the daughter of the former president of South Korea. The couple met while they were students at the University of Chicago. They married in 1988, the same year Roh’s father was inaugurated as President of South Korea. They have a son and two daughters.

Chey Tae-won has a bit of a shady past. He was sentenced to four years in jail for embezzling company funds. That wasn’t even his first conviction. In 2003 he served seven months in prison for accounting fraud. He got back to SK after his release and got pardoned in 2008. While in December 2012, he stepped down as SK’s chairman.

In her Facebook post, Roh declared that she would spend the rest of her life finding “ways to contribute to society.”
