Jung Yoo-ra: "None of My Peers Know Jeon Cheong-jo"

Amid ongoing controversy over the identity of Jeon Cheong-jo, who recently announced his marriage to former national fencing representative Nam Hyun-hee, former equestrian national representative Jung Yoo-ra stated, "None of the elite athletes my age know Jeon."

On the 25th, Jung Yoo-ra sarcastically wrote on her Facebook, "(Jeon) graduated from Korea Racing and Breeding High School, won multiple competitions alone without any equestrian athlete knowing, and went to a foreign university alone. I'm jealous."

She mocked Jeon by citing claims that he was active as an equestrian athlete and attended the Racing and Breeding High School in Namwon, Jeonbuk.

Jung said, "(Jeon) is the same age as me, but even though I was ranked number one in 2014, I only got into Ewha Womans University. How did he manage to get into a university in New York?" She questioned, "If I had known there was an equestrian department at a New York university, I would have gone too."

Previously, Jeon and Nam Hyun-hee stated in an interview with a media outlet that "Jeon majored in equestrian studies in New York, USA, won multiple competitions as an equestrian athlete, but retired due to injury."

Regarding this, the Korea Equestrian Federation previously stated that they "cannot confirm" Jeon's equestrian athlete history. Park Seo-young, president of the Korea Equestrian Federation, said on Instagram the day before, "The Korea Equestrian Federation cannot confirm whether the person recently in the news due to marriage rumors was truly an equestrian athlete."

Meanwhile, according to the Seongnam Jungwon Police Station in Gyeonggi Province on the 26th, Jeon Cheong-jo was apprehended around 1:05 a.m. at the home of Nam Hyun-hee's mother in Dochon-dong, Jungwon-gu, Seongnam-si, Gyeonggi Province.

Jeon is accused of repeatedly knocking on the door and ringing the doorbell at Nam's mother's house. After Nam broke up with Jeon, Jeon visited Nam who was staying at her mother's house, and Nam's mother reported this to the police.

During the process of verifying Jeon's identity after his arrest, it was revealed that the last digit of his resident registration number starts with '2', indicating a female.
