Nam Hyun-hee "I Did Not Receive Any Fraud Proceeds from Jeoncheongjo... Only Gave Mom Allowance Twice"

Pre-Interrogation Statements Released One Day Before Confrontation

Former national fencing athlete Nam Hyun-hee released multiple statements one after another a day before the confrontation interrogation with her ex-partner Jeon Cheong-jo, who was also her remarriage partner.

On the 7th, Nam Hyun-hee addressed the allegations of complicity with her ex-lover Jeon Cheong-jo, who is accused of fraud, via Instagram. She refuted Jeon's claim that he spent all the fraud proceeds on himself and explained why Jeon was driving a Mercedes-Benz registered under her name. She also denied Jeon's statement that she had encouraged him to undergo breast surgery. She claimed that she was deceived herself until the article was published.

First, she said Jeon's claim that “I gave all the fraud proceeds to Nam Hyun-hee” was a lie.

Regarding Jeon's claim that he “bought a Genesis for Nam Hyun-hee’s mother,” she explained, “Jeon Cheong-jo, who runs a rental car company, had my mother proceed with a 60-month lease for a Genesis GV70 and promised to pay the monthly rent.” She added, “He induced my mother to proceed under her name, but in reality, he only paid the rent twice.”

Using the same method, he also lured bodyguards and vehicles from Nam Hyun-hee Fencing Academy into leasing. He scammed people by enticing them with “I’ll buy you a car,” obtaining their resident registration cards to check their loan amounts, and then inducing investments.

Regarding the claim that “he gave monthly allowance to Nam Hyun-hee’s mother,” she said, “Jeon Cheong-jo gave my mother 3 million won once and 5 million won once, and that was all.” She added, “My mother used the initial 3 million won to purchase wild ginseng to give to Jeon.”

She also explained why her younger sibling’s spouse received living expenses from Jeon. “Jeon first proposed to my younger sibling’s spouse to run a caf? together on the first and second floors of a building in Cheongdam-dong and said he would provide living expenses until the caf? opened,” she said. She continued, “The caf? opening was delayed, so we spent nine months waiting due to promises with Jeon Cheong-jo.” She also mentioned that her sibling felt uncomfortable just receiving money.

Regarding the report that she received a Bentley worth 400 million won from Jeon Cheong-jo and gave her Mercedes-Benz S-Class to him, Nam Hyun-hee said, “The Mercedes-Benz S-Class was a car my ex-husband used. I purchased it in March last year. Jeon Cheong-jo came to his first fencing lesson on January 9, 2023. After the divorce in March, my ex-husband said he couldn’t afford the lease payments, so the car was returned, and he planned to sell the S-Class.”

She continued, “Jeon asked, ‘Can I drive the S-Class if I pay the monthly lease?’ and since then, Jeon has been driving the car. On October 25, I found out about Jeon’s crimes, and it was confirmed that the S-Class was used as a means of transportation for criminal activities, which is a devastating situation. Jeon has been driving the S-Class since March and has only paid one lease payment of 2.5 million won.”

“Breast surgery encouragement? He said he was having rib surgery and went alone”

On the 3rd, Jeon Cheong-jo appeared on SBS’s “Curious Story Y” and said, “I underwent breast removal surgery at Nam Hyun-hee’s encouragement. The wound hasn’t healed yet,” showing his chest to the production team.

In response, Nam Hyun-hee said, “Jeon told me, my family, and people around us that he needed rib surgery. Many people heard this. So I said, ‘It’s a major surgery, and since you’ll be hospitalized, I’ll go with you,’ but he got angry, saying, ‘I get stressed if you come along.’”

She added, “Jeon said a bodyguard would accompany him, so I wasn’t too worried and sent him to the hospital. A few days later, he showed me that he had breast surgery. He said he was going for rib surgery but had breast surgery instead, which was shocking. However, when I saw the torn wound a few days later, I was worried and applied ointment.”

She claimed, “I did not coerce him to have breast surgery. He deceived many people, went for surgery, and now says everything was done by Nam Hyun-hee. He is fabricating stories and speaking in a way that benefits himself.”

“I was deceived until the end”

Finally, she said, “I could not understand the reports about Jeon Cheong-jo that started on October 24,” and that she believed him until the end. “On the night between the 24th and 25th, I asked Jeon to explain, but he called his biological mother, and they just cried,” she said, denying all allegations of complicity.

However, former national fencing athlete Nam Hyun-hee was banned from leaving the country on the same day on suspicion of conspiring in fraud. On the 8th, the police plan to summon Nam Hyun-hee again to conduct a confrontation investigation with Jeon.
