[NewsSpace==JeongYoung Kim] Choi Tae-won and Roh Soh-yeong's eldest son and second daughter filed a petition to the court.

The eldest son and second daughter of Choi Tae-won, chairman of SK Group, and Roh Soh-yeong, director of the Nabee Art Center, who are in the midst of a divorce lawsuit, filed a petition with the appellate court handling their parents' divorce case.

According to the legal community on the 16th, Choi In-geun filed a petition with the Seoul High Court Family Division 2 (Chief Judge Kim Si-cheol, Kang Sang-wook, Lee Dong-hyun) on the same day. The day before, Choi Min-jung filed a petition first. However, the contents of the petition were not released.

A family lawyer explained, "It is not unusual for an adult child to file a petition in support of one side of their parents when they are in a divorce lawsuit."

Choi In-geun was born in 1995 and is the eldest son of Choi Tae-won and Roh Soh-yeong. He studied physics at Brown University in the United States and worked as an intern at Boston Consulting Group (BCG). In 2020, he joined SK E&S as a new employee. Recently, he was appointed to Passkey, a North American subsidiary.

Choi Min-jung was born in 1991 and graduated from the School of Business Administration at Peking University in China. She then volunteered for the navy and retired as a lieutenant. In 2019, she joined INTRA, an organization under the External Cooperation Division of SK Hynix, as a deputy. She has been on leave since the beginning of last year and has been working at Done., a medical startup based in San Francisco, California.

In December of last year, the first trial court ruled that Choi Tae-won should pay 66.5 billion won to Roh Soh-yeong and 100 million won in alimony. Roh Soh-yeong's side requested that half of the 12,975,472 shares of SK (주) held by Choi Tae-won, or 648,7736 shares (8.7%), be divided. However, the court ruled that it was difficult to see that Roh Soh-yeong had made a significant contribution to the formation, maintenance, and appreciation of the shares, and judged it to be a special property, excluding it from the target of asset division. Both Roh Soh-yeong and Choi Tae-won have appealed against the first-instance ruling.
