SK Group Chairman Chey Tae-won's oldest daughter will tie the knot with a man working for a startup company, according to the nation's third-largest conglomerate, Monday.
Chey Yoon-chung, 28, will have a private wedding Oct. 21 in Seoul with a man surnamed Yun, who worked with her at Bain & Company. The soon-to-be couple purportedly fell in love while working for the global consulting firm.
Yun, who is known as the third-oldest son of an ordinary family, reportedly works for an IT startup, and a graduate from Seoul National University. His first name, age and other details have yet to be ascertained.
Considering that he worked for the consulting firm, observers said Yun must be from an influential family, although he may not be a chaebol heir. Because consultants meet executives at various companies, global consulting firms are known to prefer hiring sons and daughters of powerful families, so as to take advantage of their social connections.
SK said Chey and Yun will exclusively invite their relatives and friends to the wedding ceremony next month.
Born to Chairman Chey and Art Center Nabi's director Roh So-yeong, the daughter of former President Roh Tae-woo, Yoon-chung started working as a manager at SK Biopharmaceuticals this year, after working as a consultant at Bain & Company from 2015 until this January.
She graduated from the International School of Beijing and studied biology at the University of Chicago, which has been mentioned as a reason for the group's decision to hire her as a manager at the subsidiary specializing in research and development of new drugs.
She also finished an internship program at Harvard's physics and chemistry lab.
Her younger sister Min-jeong, 25, has served in the navy as a first lieutenant. As the first woman from a chaebol family to serve in the military, she was dispatched to the Gulf of Aden in June 2015 as a crew member of the destroyer to combat piracy off the coast between Yemen and Somalia.
Chey In-keun, 22, the only son of the chairman and Roh, has been studying at Brown.
