Jeon Cheong-jo (27), the remarried partner of former national fencing team member Nam Hyun-hee (42), has recently been sued and accused of fraud one after another, and a complaint has been filed with the police requesting that Nam be investigated as well. Questions are being raised. Mr. Jeon, who had been deceiving himself as a ‘third generation chaebol’, is said to have deceived the victims by showing off his ultra-luxurious apartments and cars. The police plan to investigate the extent and source of damage related to Mr. Jeon’s suspicion of fraud.
According to the police on the 29th, Seoul Gangseo-gu Council member Kim Min-seok submitted a petition to the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency the day before, requesting토토사이트 an investigation into suspicions of fraud and attempted fraud against Mr. Nam and Mr. Jeon. Representative Kim said, “Mr. Nam received luxury bags and vehicles as gifts from Mr. Jeon,” and she argued that Mr. Nam was not a victim who suffered financial losses, but was in fact closer to an accomplice who shared the proceeds of the crime.
In fact, Mr. Nam has been posting expensive gifts presumed to have been received from Mr. Jeon on social networking services ( SNS ). Last August, Mr. Nam posted a photo of the interior of a Bentley Bentayga vehicle, a car key, and the phrase “ Thank you jojo ” on his Instagram story . Jojo is Jeon’s nickname, and the Bentley Bentayga costs about 300 million won. Last February, Mr. Nam posted a photo taken inside the Grand Deluxe Pool Villa in Paradise City, Incheon and added, “Wow, fencing today too.” It is known that the price of the pool villa in question is 12 million won per night, and there were opinions online that Mr. Jeon, who lied that he was a ‘Paradise Group extramarital child’, may have intentionally taken him to the hotel. In addition, Mr. Jeon is known to have given various luxury goods, including a Dior bag, to Mr. Nam.
Some claimed that Mr. Jeon was a credit delinquent, and questions were raised as to how he was able to obtain funds when he was not a third-generation chaebol. In addition to the gift he gave to Mr. Nam, Mr. Jeon has shown wealth worthy of a real ‘third generation chaebol’, such as living on monthly rent in ‘Signiel’, which is considered the highest-end apartment in Seoul. Signiel’s monthly rent alone amounts to 26 million won. According to Rep. Kim, when Mr. Jeon visited Jeju Island in the past, he was accompanied by 10 bodyguards, and the monthly salary of each bodyguard was known to be 15 million won.
It was discovered that Mr. Jeon revealed his wealth to the fraud victims by emphasizing his special relationship with Mr. Nam. Police believe there will be at least dozens of victims, including Nam’s acquaintances and seminar students.
Victims estimate that the source of Mr. Jeon’s funds was fraud damages. It is reported that most of the victims who reported to Rep. Kim claimed that they lent their ‘credit cards’ to Mr. Jeon. Rep. Kim said, “It is said that the victims purchased as many items as possible on the grounds that they needed to cash out their investment,” and added, “I believe they continued to use the fraud damages to block them.”
Victim A, who was actually a victim of fraud by Mr. Jeon, said on the YouTube channel ‘Foot-and-Extreme Disease’ on the 26th, “(Mr. Jeon) asked me to lend him money because he was in a foreign country and I couldn’t transfer money, so I lent him the money, but he contacted me later. He explained that he committed fraud by saying, “Instead of paying back the money, why don’t you put in the investment amount? If you put in more money, we will guarantee the principal and increase the money by 2 to 5 times the principal amount, or up to 10 times the original amount.” .
Mr. A, who gave about 17 million won over three months, said, “He kept asking me to give him more and more money than he initially asked for. “I kept threatening that if I didn’t, everything would go wrong,” he said. “I also deposited money from Signiel, where Mr. Jeon lived. Signiel can be rented for a day or two, and I think that was the cost. “Even in the ruling, it said something like ‘luxury hotel expenses.’”
It is reported that Mr. Jeon is currently a credit defaulter. The channel said, “After obtaining the consent of the creditor and checking Mr. Jeon’s credit information, he is currently unable to repay 616,000 won from his ○○ card, and he has been a credit delinquent since 2019.” He also complained that he still has no assets in his name. “They are not paying money back to the victims of fraud,” he claimed.
It was discovered that Mr. Jeon had a history of being handed over to trial on two counts of fraud in 2020 and sentenced to two years and three months in prison. Mr. Jeon also extorted close to 300 million won from 10 victims between April 2018 and January 2020. Mr. Jeon’s crimes were committed under the pretense of marriage or by frequently changing occupations and genders to demand money. Mr. Nam claims that he was deceived by Mr. Jeon, who pretended to be the out-of-wedlock child of a chaebol family, and that “Mr. Jeon took charge from beginning to end.” The police are expected to summon Jeon soon to investigate related charges.
