Art Center Nabi Director Roh Soh-yeong shared her own thoughts on ending her 37-year marriage with SK Group Chairman Chey Tae-won.
On the 6th, Roh said on Instagram, "I am leaving the house I married into 37 years ago. Back then, I lived with my parents-in-law, and for the past 10 years I lived alone, sent my two daughters off to be married, and lived with my youngest. Now it is farewell to my son as well."
Roh said, "Once you are over 60, everything is precious. Clothes, bags, shoes—on each of them are traces of as much laughter and tears, effort and frustration, and also hope. I fold each one neatly and put it away."
Roh went on, "The part that made my heart ache a bit was when I once found a sheet of drawing paper, discovered on my birthday, that our three kids had filled by cutting out and pasting photos of mom and dad with the message 'HAPPY FOREVER'."
She shared her complex feelings, saying, "Where will those young hearts, who so earnestly wished for mom and dad to love each other and be happy, find comfort? I folded this neatly and put it away as well."
In the post that day, Roh also disclosed photos of the wedding dress and hanbok she wore at her 1988 wedding, along with birthday letters made by her children. On the letters, the children pasted the couple's faces onto paper outfits modeled after their wedding attire, and densely filled the surroundings with words like "love" and "happiness."
Earlier, on the 16th, the Supreme Court overturned and remanded the appellate ruling on the property division ratio in the divorce suit between Roh and Chey. In the second trial, the court had recognized former President Roh Tae-woo's "30 billion won monetary support" as Roh's contribution, but the Supreme Court ruled that "because it was illegal slush funds, it has no value warranting legal protection." Accordingly, the property division will be reviewed again, but the divorce and alimony portions were affirmed as is.
