SK Group Chairman Chey Tae-won has decided to take legal action against the person who first circulated the divorce lawsuit judgment against Noh So-young, director of the Art Center Butterfly.
On the 1st, Chairman Choi's legal representative announced that he plans to file a complaint with the police against the unidentified person who first spread the divorce lawsuit verdict online on charges of minor defamation.
Chairman Choi said, “We have confirmed that the entire judgment file (Seoul High Court divorce suit) has been circulating in some social networking services (SNS) and online communities since the 31st of last month,” adding, “The judgment file contains private conversations between family members, including children.” “Spreading it without permission is a serious crime,” he said. He added, “In addition to the original spreader, we plan to take firm legal action without leniency or agreement against those who intentionally spread the ruling to many people.”

On the 30th of last month, the Seoul High Court's Family Affairs Division 2 (Presiding Judge Si-cheol Kim) ruled that Chairman Choi must pay Director Roh 1.3808 trillion won in cash as property division and 2 billion won in alimony. This amount is more than 20 times more than the 100 million won in alimony and 66.5 billion won in property division recognized by the first trial.
Prior to the appellate court ruling, Chairman Choi requested the court to "block the viewing of the judgment through the court's computer network at the source," but Director Noh expressed the opinion that "there is no reason to block internal viewing," and the court returned the judgment to the court immediately after the ruling. It is said that it was made public on the computer network.
