Former national fencing athlete Nam Hyun-hee (42) claimed that she was completely deceived by her remarriage partner, Jeon Cheong-jo. Nam stated that Jeon embezzled investment funds using her name and that she was led to believe she was pregnant due to his deception.

On the 26th, Women Chosun reported interviews with both Jeon Cheong-jo and Nam Hyun-hee separately.

According to the report, the interview took place on the night of the 25th at Jeon's residence. Jeon said, "She (Nam Hyun-hee) left three hours ago," and added, "I want to live well with Hyun-hee. But now that things have turned out this way, I feel like we can't live together. Because many people have a very bad image of me. So I think breaking up is the answer."

In particular, Jeon denied all allegations against him and wanted to clarify, but abruptly ended the interview saying, "Something sudden came up."

Afterwards, the media outlet reported that they had a phone conversation with Nam Hyun-hee for about two hours.

Nam said, "I was completely deceived by Jeon Cheong-jo."

According to Nam, on the morning of the 25th, a report was filed accusing Jeon Cheong-jo of attempting fraud, and the police along with the victims visited the Signiel residence. Nam claimed that this was the first time she learned that Jeon had used her name to embezzle investment funds.

Furthermore, Nam said that she believed she was pregnant based on about ten pregnancy tests given to her by Jeon, but in reality, she was not pregnant. Jeon reportedly gave her pregnancy tests with the packaging already opened, and since all the results showed two lines, Nam believed she was pregnant, according to her statement.

Meanwhile, the Seongnam Jungwon Police Station in Gyeonggi Province announced on the 26th that they are investigating Jeon, a "woman in her 20s," on charges of violating the Stalking Punishment Act and trespassing.

Jeon is accused of visiting Nam's mother's house in Jungwon-gu, Seongnam City, around 1:09 a.m. that day, knocking on the door and ringing the doorbell multiple times. During the police investigation, it was revealed that Jeon is a "female" according to her resident registration number starting with '2'.

Jeon, who was detained by the police, complained of suffering, saying, "I haven't eaten or slept for three days." The police confirmed only the basic facts and released Jeon around 6:30 a.m. that day.

Nam Hyun-hee married Gong Hyo-seok, a former national cycling athlete, in 2011 and has one daughter, but they divorced in August after 12 years. About two months later, on the 23rd, she suddenly announced her remarriage to Jeon. Subsequently, rumors questioning Jeon's background?such as being a "U.S.-born equestrian major," "third-generation chaebol," and "businessman with experience as an IT company executive"?spread online.

Jeon, initially believed to be male, was revealed to be female. Additionally, a criminal record for fraud was uncovered. According to Jeon's past court ruling released the day before, she was sentenced to two years and three months in prison in December 2020 for embezzling over 300 million won from 10 victims between 2018 and 2020.
