Nam Hyun-hee Visits Hospital to Confirm Pregnancy Before Divorce from Ex-Husband

Former national fencing representative Nam Hyun-hee (42) was revealed to have visited an obstetrics and gynecology clinic to confirm pregnancy during her relationship with her remarriage partner Jeon Cheong-jo (27, detained and indicted). At the time, a nurse mistook Jeon Cheong-jo for Nam Hyun-hee's son.

This was disclosed in the first episode of the Wave original documentary program "Evil Investigation: Fraud Republic," released on the 15th.


The reporter who covered the case stated, "The time when (Nam) thought she was pregnant was in March, but the divorce from her ex-husband was in July. (The pregnancy) was before the divorce."


He added, "When Jeon and Nam told Nam’s mother, 'We are going to have a child. We are really sorry,' Nam’s mother was shocked and cried out, 'How can you have another man's child before even getting divorced? Does that make sense?'"


It was also revealed that when Nam went alone to the obstetrics and gynecology clinic, Jeon hurriedly followed her, fearing that the fact she was not pregnant would be discovered.


The reporter said, "(Jeon) said, 'I will go to the place where Director Nam Hyun-hee is receiving treatment right now,' but the medical staff blocked him," and "As the struggle escalated, a nurse hurried to the treatment area and said, 'The mother’s son just came here and suddenly wants to enter the examination room. What should we do?'" It appears that the nurse mistook Jeon, who is 15 years younger than Nam, for her son.


Previously, Nam claimed that the pregnancy test result using the test given by Jeon showed positive. Nam said, "(The pregnancy tests that showed two lines) were all tests given by Jeon Cheong-jo. They were always without packaging," and "When I tested with a test brought by my younger sibling, it showed one line (not pregnant)."

Jeon Cheong-jo was arrested on October 31 at a relative’s house in Gimpo City, Gyeonggi Province on charges of fraud. The prosecution indicted him and accomplice A on charges including fraud, forgery and use of forged official documents, and forgery and use of forged private documents on the 29th of last month.



The prosecution believes Jeon posed as the hidden heir of Paradise Hotel and a major shareholder of a U.S. Nasdaq-listed company, embezzling money under the pretext of overseas unlisted stock investment funds. It has been identified that there are 32 victims related to Jeon’s fraud, with damages amounting to approximately 3.69 billion won.
