We will share specific response to the verdict after we closely review the ruling.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">SK Group is one of South Korea&#8217;s chaebols &#8211; family-owned conglomerates that dominate the country&#8217;s economy.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">The verdict comes after deliberation over the division of assets between Roh and Chey, who had been married for 35 years.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">During the earlier trial in 2024, Roh&#8217;s legal team had successfully argued that Chey had received significant help from his ex-wife&#8217;s father, Roh Tae-woo, who had served as the country&#8217;s president between 1988 to 1993.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">The court had determined that the strongman had given Chey 30bn Korean won from his slush fund in 1991, and told Chey to pay 1.38tn to his ex-wife.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">But the Supreme Court overturned the verdict last year, ruling that the slush funds were illegally obtained and could not be considered as part of the couple&#8217;s assets.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">The case has gripped South Korea.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">SK Group began as a textile company in 1953 but quickly grew across a wide swath of industries to become one of South Korea&#8217;s biggest conglomerates.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Today, it is the second largest chaebol after the Samsung group. South Korean people buy phone plans from SK Telecom and fill their vehicles at SK petrol stations.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">The group gained global prominence after its subsidiary SK Hynix found itself at the centre of the artificial intelligence (AI) boom. In May, the chipmaker surpassed $1tn (\u00a3750bn) on the South Korean stock market.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">As SK Hynix&#8217;s value soared, the SK Group and its chairman Chey&#8217;s status also rose. <\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Last month, President Lee Jae Myung commended Chey during the unveiling of a landmark AI investment plan, calling him and Samsung chairman JY Lee &#8220;Heroes of Korean People.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">The company also raised $26.5bn in its New York share offering, marking the largest ever listing by a foreign firm in the US.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">The BBC has contacted SK Group for comment.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><!-- \u603b\u5bb9\u5668\uff1a\u6700\u5927\u5bbd908px Grid\u7d27\u51d1\u5e03\u5c40 -->\r\n<div style=\"display: grid;
