On the afternoon of the 28th, Kim Min-seok, a member of the Seoul Gangseo District Council, submitted a petition to the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency requesting an investigation into fraud and attempted fraud involving Nam and Jeon. Councilman Kim stated, "Nam received luxury bags and other gifts from Jeon," and added, "Jeon appeared to have a close relationship to the extent that he told victims, 'You can ask Nam Hyun-hee for it.'"


Regarding the complaint filed on the 25th accusing Jeon and Lee of fraud and attempted fraud, Kim explained, "After filing the complaint, additional reports were received," noting that the informant had invested 110 million won in a Chinese business but had not been reimbursed.



After being notified of the breakup by Nam, Jeon was arrested and later released on charges of repeatedly knocking on the door and ringing the doorbell at Nam's mother's house in Seongnam, Gyeonggi Province, in the early morning of the 26th, violating the Act on the Punishment of Stalking Crimes and Other Related Offenses.
