YouTube Karakula, Nam Hyun-hee Accused of Being an Accomplice
"Met with Fencing Association President Under the Pretext of a 2 Billion Won Investment in Fencing"

Former national fencing athlete Nam Hyun-hee (42) has filed a complaint against her ex-lover Jeon Cheong-jo (27) on charges of fraud, while private detective and YouTuber ‘Caracula’ has raised suspicions of Nam Hyun-hee’s involvement as an accomplice.


On the 31st, Caracula posted a lengthy message on their YouTube community starting with the question, "Director Nam Hyun-hee, are you really an innocent victim?"

Caracula stated, "Did Jeon Cheong-jo push Nam Hyun-hee into meeting the fencing association president together under the pretext of investing 2 billion won in the fencing world, promising the next president position, and having meals and drinks, even though Nam Hyun-hee did not want to do these things?"


They continued, "Wasn't it Nam Hyun-hee herself who introduced Jeon Cheong-jo to a well-known parent, a daughter-in-law of a major conglomerate family and a former announcer, who sent her child to the fencing club?" They also questioned, "Why did Jeon Cheong-jo pay off Nam Hyun-hee’s personal debt of 140 million won? Was this also something Nam Hyun-hee did not want but Jeon Cheong-jo forced?"


Caracula also revealed circumstances suggesting that Nam Hyun-hee’s fencing academy illegally collected tuition fees. They said, "I heard that the fencing club received tuition fees from trainees into a personal bank account instead of a business account. In sports facilities, when receiving more than 100,000 won, isn’t it mandatory to issue a cash receipt regardless of the payer’s intention?"

They further publicly criticized, saying, “What you should say to the media is a sincere apology and reflection to the public and the victims of fraud, not playing the victim by whining ‘I didn’t know’.” Caracula added that they would explain each of the raised suspicions in detail through videos.


Meanwhile, on the same day in the afternoon, Nam Hyun-hee submitted a complaint and accusation through her legal representative to the Seoul Songpa Police Station against Jeon, Jeon’s mother, and Kim Min-seok, a member of the Gangseo District Council, who has raised suspicions against her. Jeon Cheong-jo was arrested at an undisclosed location in Gimpo City on the same day.


Previously, victims who claimed to have invested trusting Nam Hyun-hee’s reputation reportedly submitted a petition to the police requesting that Nam Hyun-hee also be investigated.



The police are currently investigating whether Nam Hyun-hee was involved in Jeon’s fraud case.
