O Eun-young Mentioned in Jeoncheongjo Scam... "Beware of Name and Likeness Fraud" Warning

"Various Impersonation Cases Including Counseling, Coaching, and Mentoring"

Jeon Cheong-jo (27), the ex-boyfriend of former national fencing representative Nam Hyun-hee (42), reportedly mentioned the name of Dr. Oh Eun-young, a psychiatrist and parenting expert, while engaging in fraudulent activities. In response, Dr. Oh's side has urged caution to prevent victims from falling prey to impersonation crimes involving the unauthorized use of her image or name.

On the 3rd, Oh Eun Life Science, Dr. Oh Eun-young's agency, announced through a notice that "recently, cases of impersonation using Dr. Oh Eun-young's name or image in various forms such as counseling, coaching, and mentoring have occurred," adding, "Dr. Oh's official activities are conducted only through Oh Eun-young Clinic, Oh Eun-young Academy, and Oh Eun Life Science."

They also stated, "In particular, promotional activities unofficially using Dr. Oh's image or name are not conducted," and "We ask for your attention and caution to prevent any harm caused by this." Furthermore, they requested, "If anyone witnesses or experiences similar cases, please report them via email or contact Oh Eun Life Science."

Earlier, on the 1st, according to a CBS No Cut News report, a person known as A, close to Nam and Jeon, revealed specific methods of Jeon's crimes against parents and coaches at Nam's fencing academy.

A said, "Jeon introduced himself to the fencing academy parents as the CEO of a company called 'Maneul' and proposed educational programs worth billions of won per person," adding, "Jeon claimed that Maneul was secretly planning programs targeting chaebol families by combining sports favorable for admission to Ivy League universities in the U.S., such as fencing, ice hockey, and equestrian."

During this process, A claimed that Jeon mentioned Dr. Oh. A stated, "(Jeon said that Maneul) would include Dr. Oh Eun-young as a mental coach and charge parents '3 billion won per person per month,'" revealing, "The amount of 3 billion won was absurd, but people were tempted."

Additionally, A alleged that Jeon boasted of connections with famous figures, including Lee Boo-jin, president of Hotel Shilla, besides Dr. Oh. He testified, "Jeon flaunted to everyone that he had a very close relationship with President Lee," and "He described in great detail how he met with her, talked about various things, and received recommendations."

Meanwhile, Jeon faces charges of fraud under the Act on the Aggravated Punishment of Specific Economic Crimes for receiving money from multiple people under the pretense of investment funds and inducing loans. The police have confirmed 15 victims so far, with damages amounting to over 1.9 billion won. Jeon underwent a pretrial detention hearing (warrant review) at around 2:30 p.m. on the 3rd, and the decision on detention is expected later that day.
