SEOUL, Sept. 9 (Yonhap) -- SK Group Chairman Chey Tae-won will accept 700 billion won (US$523.9 million) of the 944 billion-won property division ordered by a court for his former wife, while disputing the remaining amount at the Supreme Court, legal sources said Wednesday.

In July, the Seoul High Court ordered Chey to pay 944 billion won in property division to his former wife, Roh Soh-yeong, in a high-profile case. Chey appealed the ruling last month.

In a document submitted to the Supreme Court on Aug. 31, Chey's legal team said it would accept up to 700 billion won of the court-ordered amount.

"Since the dispute has continued for too long, (we) will accept a figure of up to 700 billion won in the broader interest of scaling back the dispute and swiftly resolving it," Chey's side said, adding that it would dispute any amount beyond that.

Chey initiated divorce proceedings in 2017 after admitting two years earlier that he had an extramarital partner and a child with her. Chey and Roh married in 1988 and have three children together.

The case reached the Supreme Court last year, which finalized the divorce but remanded the property settlement to the appellate court for review.

首尔，9月9日（韩联社）——法律界人士周三表示，SK集团会长崔泰源将接受法院判决其前妻获得9440亿韩元财产分割中的7000亿韩元（约合5.239亿美元），同时将就剩余金额向最高法院提起上诉。

7月，首尔高等法院在一桩备受瞩目的案件中，判决崔顺实向前妻卢素英支付9440亿韩元的财产分割款。崔顺实上个月已就此判决提出上诉。

在8月31日提交给最高法院的一份文件中，崔顺实的法律团队表示，他们将接受法院判决的金额中最高7000亿韩元。

“由于争端持续时间过长，为了缩小争端范围并迅速解决争端，我们将接受最高 7000 亿韩元的赔偿金额，”崔某方面表示，并补充说，任何超过此金额的赔偿都将提出异议。

Chey于2017年提起离婚诉讼，此前两年他承认自己有婚外情，并与该伴侣育有一子。Chey和Roh于1988年结婚，育有三个孩子。

该案去年上诉至最高法院，最高法院最终裁定离婚，但将财产分割问题发回上诉法院复审。
