[Asia Economy Reporter Choi Seok-jin] Choi Tae-won, chairman of SK Group, who is undergoing a divorce lawsuit, appeared in court on the 4th for the first time since his wife, Noh So-young, director of the Art Center Nabi, filed a counterclaim.

Chairman Choi attended the fourth hearing of the divorce lawsuit held in the afternoon at the Family Court of Seoul, Family Conciliation Division 2 (Presiding Judge Choi Han-don).

Generally, divorce lawsuit hearings proceed with legal representatives from both sides present, but Chairman Choi appeared in court for the first time since Noh filed the counterclaim in December 2019.

Chairman Choi, who filed for divorce in February 2018, had previously appeared in court once in November 2019. Director Noh appeared in court once during the first hearing in April last year.

Since the trial was conducted privately and Chairman Choi's side did not disclose a clear reason for his attendance, the reason for his appearance on this day remains unknown.

The trial ended about 40 minutes after it began. Chairman Choi and the legal representatives from both sides did not respond to reporters' questions about the trial issues and left the courthouse.

Chairman Choi acknowledged the existence of an extramarital child in 2015 and announced his intention to divorce Director Noh due to personality differences. He applied for divorce mediation in 2017, but since the mediation failed, he ultimately filed a lawsuit.
