SK Hynix Stake Valuation Doubles Amid $10B Divorce Retrial
2026-07-24 11:57

Woofun AI reports that the Seoul High Court is scheduled to reissue a ruling today regarding the asset division dispute between SK Group Chairman Chey Tae-won and his former wife, Roh So-young. A prior lower court judgment mandated a payment of 13,808 billion Korean won, approximately $10 billion, but the Supreme Court overturned part of this decision last year due to calculation errors and ordered a retrial.

The current valuation of Chey Tae-won’s stake in SK Group has increased significantly, driven by SK Hynix shares rising nearly tenfold since early 2025. This surge has effectively doubled his net worth. The upcoming ruling will determine the final settlement amount and the method for evaluating his equity holdings, with potential implications for asset liquidation or share pledging if the settlement remains near the previous $10 billion figure.
