As the daughter of former Korea President Roh Tae-woo, Roh Su-young was born noble and was once considered the proud daughter of heaven.
She married into a wealthy family and became the wife of the head of SK Group, and she should have enjoyed a prosperous and happy marriage.
However, the reality has left her mired in an 11-year-long marital betrayal.
In the face of her husband Choi Tae-won's ruthlessness and Xiao San's blatant provocation, Lu Suying did not choose to fight back impulsively, but endured it for many years and made a secret layout.
In the end, she won a sky-high breakup fee of 7.3 billion won, ending this bitter marriage.
So, how did Lu Suying make a precise layout to win the victory of this marriage and the sky-high breakup fee?
From the halo of marriage to the collapse of the family
As the daughter of former Korea President Roh Tae-woo, Roh So-young has enjoyed an aristocratic life since she was a child.
In 1988, Roh So-young married Choi Tae-won, the heir to the famous Korea chaebol SK Group.
This wedding not only attracted the attention of Korea's political and business circles, but also became a hot topic of media reports at that time.
After getting married, Chey Tae-won quickly expanded SK Group's business with the help of his father-in-law's political background.
With Roh Tae-woo's influence, Chey Tae-won not only won multiple government contracts, but also successfully propelled SK Group into the ranks of Korea's top chaebols through cooperation with the national telecommunications industry.
Lu Suying became her husband's virtuous helper, choosing to give up her career and concentrate on her husband and children at home.
She believes that as the president's daughter, she should be more low-key after marriage, and as a result, she rarely appears in the public eye.
However, Choi Tae-won's attitude in marriage began to cool down.
Although Roh So-young tries to play the role of "perfect wife", Choi Tae-won's busy work and socializing with the outside world make his relationship with Roh so-young gradually estranged.
Roh So-young may have felt Choi Tae-won's indifference, but as a traditional Korean woman, she chose to be patient.
Because, she believes, as long as the overall interests of the family are safeguarded, the individual sacrifice is worth it.
But Choi Tae-won's betrayal did not stop because of her forbearance, especially after Roh Tae-woo stepped down, Roh So-young's marriage began to experience a crisis.
When Roh Tae-woo was no longer a central figure in Korea's political scene, Choi Tae-won's attitude towards Roh So-young began to change 180 degrees.
This made Lu Suying realize that her husband was just using her as a tool to cling to power and money, which made her miserable.
In 2003, Choi Tae-won was exposed by the media about his extramarital affair with Korean-American psychological counselor Kim Hee-young.
This affair was not a short-lived affair, but lasted for many years.
During this period, Choi Tae-won not only had a close relationship with Kim Hee-young, but even bought a mansion for her and made their relationship public to the outside world.
After being exposed by the media, Kim Hee-young also unabashedly appeared in the public eye, as if she had already regarded herself as the "new lady" of SK Group.
In the eyes of outsiders, Choi Tae-won's extramarital affair is no longer a secret, but his blatant humiliation of Lu So-young.
All this undoubtedly made Lu Suying feel angry and humiliated, however, in the face of her husband's betrayal, she chose to remain silent.
She knew that if she openly confronted her family and her three children at this time, she would face more blows.
Public opinion in Korea may sympathize with her, but the traditional wisdom of society will not tolerate her failed marriage.
In this conservative society, the news of a wife being cheated on is often accompanied by the prejudice that "the husband cheats on the wife and the wife does not take care of the family".
Therefore, Lu Suying could only hold back her tears and continue to maintain her apparent calm.
A well-planned counterattack, the price of 7.3 billion breakup fees
However, Lu Suying's forbearance is not without purpose.
After 11 years of long endurance and pain, she orchestrated her own counterattack.
She secretly began to gather information about her husband's finances and the true financial situation he was hiding behind various assets, mobilizing legal experts to advise her and prepare to take action when the time came.
It was the only part of her marriage that she could control, and she was determined to use it to get the best out of herself and her children.
In order not to startle the snake, Lu Suying was still as calm as water.
In public, she maintains the image of a good wife and seems to fully accept her husband's actions.
She even made a public statement saying that she was willing to raise the illegitimate daughter of Choi Tae-won and her lover.
The announcement came as a shock to the outside world, with many believing that she had been forced to succumb to her husband's threats.
However, this is just a smoke bomb that she has carefully planned.
Rather than giving in, Roh is paving the way for a final victory, and she knows that once the kids grow up and gain a foothold in SK Group, the time will come for her to fight back.
At the same time, Lu worked secretly with a team of top lawyers to develop a rigorous legal strategy.
She filed an extremely high demand for divorce damages, which included not only alimony and emotional damages, but also a large stake in Chey Tae-won in SK Group.
Roh So-young's move is not only for the sake of property, but also to protect the future inheritance rights of her three children in SK Group.
She understands that SK Group is not only Chey Tae-won's industry, but also a guarantee for the future of her and her children.
In 2019, Lu Suying finally chose the right time to officially file for divorce with the court.
Her demands shocked the whole of Korea: not only did she divorce Choi Tae-won, but she also demanded that he pay 8.4 billion yuan in compensation and split 42.29% of the group's shares to her.
For Chey Tae-won, it was almost a verdict on his fate at SK Group.
Choi Tae-won, who once thought that his wife would swallow his anger forever, realized that he had been firmly controlled by Lu Suying's plan.
Although he tried to fight back through his lawyers, Lu Suying had already prepared in all aspects.
In this divorce battle, public opinion overwhelmingly supported Lu Suying, and the public began to see the strength behind her for many years, as well as the difficult choices she made for the sake of her children and self-dignity.
Not only did Choi Tae-won get into trouble legally, but he also lost support in public opinion and became a negative image of cheating without regrets.
In the end, at the end of May this year, the court ordered Choi Tae-won to pay 1.38 trillion won, plus some other compensation (a total of about 7.3 billion yuan) in huge compensation.
Lu Suying won the divorce lawsuit, received a record amount of compensation, and completely ended the painful marriage of her husband's cheating for 11 years.
epilogue
After the divorce, Lu Suying chose a low-key life.
Although she could choose to live a life of luxury, she remained austere.
She began to focus on her career, serving as an art gallery director and actively participating in philanthropic causes.
The media's image of her has gradually changed from a "victim" to a "powerful and intelligent" woman, and her forbearance and revenge have provided inspiration for many women.
She was not crushed by her husband's betrayal, but won the greatest rights and interests for herself through legal channels, and finally became a winner in life.
For Lu Suying, although this marriage was full of pain and betrayal, she did not lose herself.
She used tenacity and wisdom to defend the interests of herself and her children, and even redefined her life through this difficult struggle.
Her life did not end because of the failure of her marriage, but was given a new lease of life.
