SK Hynix Chairman Faces 'Divorce of the Century' Amid AI Boom
In what's being dubbed Korea's 'divorce of the century,' SK Group Chairman Chey Tae-won has been ordered to pay 944 billion Korean won ($689 million) in asset division to his estranged wife. The astronomical sum is drawing global attention, largely because his semiconductor company, SK Hynix, has seen its value skyrocket thanks to the AI memory boom. While some rich dude in Seoul is losing half his AI-inflated fortune, down here, the only thing surging is the swell, and the only drama is whether the fish are biting.
