Top South Korean business leaders, including Samsung Chairman Lee Jae-yong, attended the wedding of SK Chairman Chey Tae-won's daughter Sunday, an event that also marked Chey's first public appearance with his estranged wife since their multibillion-dollar divorce battle. Chey Min-jung, the younger daughter of Chairman Chey, tied the knot with Kevin Hwang, a Chinese American serving in the U.S. Marine Corps., at the Grand Walkerhill Hotel in eastern Seoul. The couple is known to have developed feelings for each other as both share military backgrounds. The younger Chey took the public by surprise, as an heiress to a top South Korean conglomerate, when she enlisted as a naval officer candidate in 2014. She was commissioned as a lieutenant and served on a naval destroyer during a deployment to the Gulf of Aden in 2015. Chey later worked at SK hynix Inc., the chipmaking affiliate of her father's business empire, and recently left the company to launch a health care startup.
