Roh Soh-yeong, director of Art Center Nabi, held back words regarding the unfavorable Supreme Court ruling in her divorce suit with SK Group Chairman Chey Tae-won, saying, "I don't think it is appropriate to speak about him right now."
On the 24th (local time) at the University of Cambridge's Faculty of Asian and Middle Eastern Studies in the United Kingdom, Director Roh gave this answer to Yonhap News after a lecture on Korean art when asked about the Supreme Court ruling.
On the 16th, the Supreme Court overturned the appellate ruling that ordered Chairman Chey to pay 1.3808 trillion won in asset division to his wife, Roh Soh-yeong, director of Art Center Nabi, and remanded the case to the Seoul High Court. However, it upheld the ruling ordering Chairman Chey to pay 2 billion won in consolation money to Director Roh.
The appellate court found that former President Roh's slush funds flowed to the late honorary Chairman Chey Jong-hyon's side and, together with his existing asset, became seed money for the then Sunkyong (SK) Group. Accordingly, it deemed SK shares subject to property division and ordered Chairman Chey to pay 1.3808 trillion won to Director Roh as division of property.
At Cambridge that day, Director Roh gave a lecture on the path Korean art should take in the age of artificial intelligence (AI). Roh said, "In the AI era, we often regard intelligence as the ultimate solution to every problem, but the world is, instead, becoming increasingly divided, unequal, and self-destructive," pointing out the limits of AI.
