Jeon Cheong-jo, also known as "Jo Jo," the prospective groom of national fencing champion Nam Hyun-hee, has been convicted of fraud.
On December 25, The Dispatch reported that Jo Cheong Jo has committed seven fraudulent acts so far. According to the report, the Incheon District Court sentenced Jeon to two years and three months in prison on December 11, 2020.
"Jeon Cheong-jo defrauded a number of victims to the tune of nearly 300 million won," the court said, noting that "the defendant was unable to repay most of the victims' losses."
"(Now) Jeon Cheong-jo is seeking a physical education business using Nam Hyun-hee," the dispatch said.
Jeon's previous scams include investment fraud, marriage fraud, dating app fraud, chaebol 3 fraud, U.S. investment fraud, one-man two-woman fraud, and other scams.
In total, Jeon Cheong-jo defrauded seven victims of about 300 million won. One of his victims said, "Jeon Cheong-jo's speech is amazing. He speaks very well," and "If you keep listening to him, it seems real. You can't help but be fooled."
In particular, Jeon Cheong-jo reportedly committed fraud in June 2019 by claiming to be the illegitimate son of Paradise Group Chairman Jeon Philip. However, he is not the illegitimate son of a chaebol chairman, nor is he an equestrian. Most importantly, he is a woman.
Currently, Jeon has announced his marriage to Nam Hyun-hee. A source with knowledge of the couple's relationship told the media, "I asked Jeon Cheongjo why he was learning fencing. She said she plans to compete with Elon Musk. He's a fraud, but he's only a lover in Nam Hyun-hee's eyes, so it's just frustrating." 바카라사이트
Earlier, Nam Hyun-hee announced her remarriage to businessman Jeon Cheong-jo, who is 15 years her junior and claims to be a "third-generation chaebol," on March 23. After suspicions were raised about the identity of the groom-to-be, she said, "I can't cover a lot of stories here, but I think there are a lot of really bad people in the world. As much as you are worried, I will live a better life in the world by explaining what I want to say one by one. Thank you."
In an interview with Sports Chosun on the 24th, Jeon Cheongjo said, "(I saw) comments like 'I'm a fraud,' 'I'm a woman, not a man,' etc. I'm fine. I'm not worried because time will tell," she said.
"I'm not a public figure and anything they say about me is defamation. I will calmly respond legally." Regarding her 'chaebol three' background, she said, "There are business reasons and many people involved, so I am cautious. I plan to announce it at the end of December before the wedding."
