Indicted fraudster Jun Chung Jo claims to have dated IU

AKP STAFF

Indicted fraudster Jun Chung Jo claimed to have allegedly dated singer-actress IU.

On January 24, Jun Chung Jo faced her fourth trial at the Seoul Eastern District Court on the charges of fraud in the amount of 3 billion Won ($2.3 million USD) from 27 individuals as well as forgery for using a false government ID that classified her biological sex as male. She also edited a service contract issued by a CEO, who she claimed she was related to. 

As previously reported, Jun Chung Jo made headlines for her engagement to former Olympic fencer Nam Hyun Hee. Jun Chung Jo claimed to be a third generation conglomerate heir and successful businessman, but it was later found she was neither an heir or even a man. Her criminal record related to fraud was also exposed.

During the trial, Nam Hyun Hee's nephew 'A' was called in as a witness, and he revealed Jun Chung Jo claimed she had lived with IU. When asked if Jun Chung Jo expressed she lived with IU and would be moving to her apartment building, 'A' said, "I think I was told it's a house worth 30 billion won ($22,490,106 USD), but if you do a pre-payment, you can get a 10% discount."

Jun Chung Jo further allegedly told 'A' that she and IU had an intimate relationship, and she told 'A' to purchase VIP tickets to IU's concert for herself, Nam Hyun Hee, and Nam Hyun Hee's daughter. 'A' stated, "I told her it'd be difficult to get such a famous celebrity's VIP tickets through mobile." 

In a police statement, Nam Hyun Hee herself also alleged Jung Chung Jo claimed to have dated IU in the past and showed off her claimed celebrity connections.

Stay tuned for updates.
