The former fiancé of fencing Olympic medalist Nam Hyun-hee is accused of committing a romance scam while still in a relationship with Nam, according to reports by the police on Wednesday. 
  
According to the police on Monday, a man in his 30s reported the 27-year-old Jeon Cheong-jo for a romance scam.

The man told the police that the two made contact through a dating app several months ago.

He further said that Jeon had lured him with promises of marriage and subsequently requested financial assistance, with which he complied. 
  
The man said that the photo Jeon had used on her dating app was her old photo when she had long hair. 
  
However, during the time of the scam, Jeon, who was in a relationship with Nam, had short hair. 
  
In a previous interview, Jeon said while she had a breast resection surgery in July and is currently taking hormone shots, she was still biologically a woman as she has yet to get a gender confirmation surgery.

Nam Hyun-hee Believed Transgender Romance Scammer Got Her Pregnant After Testicle Transplant

Fencing Olympian and medalist Nam Hyun-hee not only called her ex-fiancé the “devil” but also pleaded innocence regarding her former paramour’s alleged scams. 
  
She even claimed she believed the ex-fiancé had gotten her pregnant using testicles donated by a disabled sibling. 

“While it seemed impossible, I trusted Jeon Cheong-jo’s words that she got a testicle transplant,” the 42-year-old Nam said while appearing on a CBS radio show on Monday.   

Nam told the radio show host that her ex-fiancé said the Paradise Group had another son who was hidden from the public due to disabilities.   

Nam said Jeon told her that she received the testicles from the other son when he became an adult. 

Nam said she was suspicious at first that she’d been impregnated by a person who underwent gender reassignment surgery.   

“Obviously, as I was suspicious, I searched the internet,” Nam said. “But because there were limits [to what you could learn on the internet], I cautiously asked Jeon if it were possible, and she told me that she got a testicle transplant.”   

Nam also said all of the pregnancy tests that she took at home came out positive.  Nam previously said the test kits were pre-opened when she received them from Jeon.

Korean Olympic Medalist Conned By Transgender Fiancé

Just when you thought you had heard it all then you read this:

Former Olympic medalist Nam Hyun-hee said Thursday that she had been deceived by Jeon Cheong-jo, who was engaged to the 42-year-old fencer before being revealed as a con artist.

Nam, who became the first South Korean woman to win a fencing Olympic medal by winning silver in the 2008 Beijing Olympics, said in a media interview that she learned Wednesday that her boyfriend had swindled money from her acquaintances.

She said Jeon instigated everything in their relationship, including their marriage, and even tricked her into believing that she was pregnant.

Jeon supposedly showed her positive pregnancy tests, despite this being impossible as he was transgender.

In a subsequent interview with local media, Nam said that she had known that Jeon had had sex reassignment surgery. When asked why she thought she could get impregnated by a transgender man, who cannot produce sperm, Nam said she “thought it was strange.”

Mysterious Packages Cause Political Opposition to Claim Terrorist Attack on South Korea

This is a scam, but the Yoon administration is being accused by their critics of not responding forcefully enough to a terrorist attack:

Concerns about possible terrorist acts using chemicals continued over the weekend amid an investigation into suspicious international packages delivered to hundreds of seemingly unrelated Korean addresses.

In a message to the public, police warned against opening the parcels labeled with “CHUNGHWA POST,” as they could contain toxic materials. So far, more than 640 such packages sent via Taiwan were confirmed to have been delivered to addresses across the nation including Jeju Island since Thursday. Police said all of them are now under scrutiny.

An X-ray scan raised an alarm early Sunday over a potentially harmful gas inside a package delivered to a home in Cheonan, North Chungcheong Province. But after an additional inspection, police later said they found no such gas.

The mysterious parcels have stoked fear and confusion since last Thursday when three staffers at a care center for the disabled in Ulsan said they experienced dizziness and difficulty breathing after opening one. The Agency for Defense Development, a government agency for research and development in defense technology, later concluded that there was nothing unusual in the box.

Korea Times

The packages were sent to Korea via Taiwan with consumer products such as mascara in them:

Some security experts have raised the possibility that scammers may be behind the mystery, such as a “brushing scam” which refers to online retailers sending unsolicited goods to random people as a means of generating positive reviews or boosting their online presence.

Accusations of “Colorism” Made After Korean Voice Actor Casted to Dub Little Mermaid into Korean

These race baiters keep hitting new lows and hopefully Korea does not give into this madness. Why does a Korean voice actor need to be black? Shouldn’t the person who can best speak and sing the songs in Korean & English be the most important factor for selecting a voice actor not skin color?:

The casting of NewJeans‘ Danielle in the South Korean dub of The Little Mermaid has been met with mixed responses ever since the news broke out. The decision was initially criticized due to her reportedly inaccurate Korean pronunciation as well as lack of experience in voice acting.

When the “Part Of Your World” music video dropped, the tables turned, and more praised Danielle for her singing skills and angelic visuals. Despite this, it seems like Western critics are in doubt about the casting now.

Although most non-Korean audiences will probably never watch the Korean dub of the movie, Danielle’s casting is being called out as a “show of colorism.” Journalist Isabel Cara from CulturaColectiva claims that even though fans are celebrating Danielle’s participation in the movie, “there are those who say it is colorism.

Korean Sex Dolls Causing Scares for Garbage Collectors

I think this qualifies as a first world problem:

While the increasing imports of sex dolls serve to comfort lonely men in Korea, they’re also frightening some men, particularly garbage collectors. 

According to the Kookmin Ilbo, a Korean-language daily newspaper, a garbage collector recalled his frightening encounter with a sex doll at work.

“I saw a bit of hair in the trash pile and pulled at it assuming it to be a wig,” the newspaper quoted him as saying in an online post. “What I got was a beheaded woman. Can you imagine how much that frightened me at first (assuming it was a real dead body)?”

He went on to say that instead of throwing away the doll as a whole, “the owner dismembered the doll and wrapped the parts separately. The head wasn’t wrapped tight enough. When I saw the decapitated head, my heart stopped. My hands are still shivering. Those wishing to buy sex dolls, please think also about how to properly dispose of them.”

It’s not the first such incident, according to the newspaper.

U.S. Army Soldiers Being Investigated for Inappropriate Social Media Photos

This is just totally bizarre and incredibly involves an O6 being involved in taking these pictures. The Soldiers involved in these pictures appear to all be stationed in Hawaii:

Multiple soldiers are under investigation for indiscreet activity while in uniform. Specifically, posting photos of themselves wearing dog-themed bondage masks while in uniform. 

As reported by USA Today, the images — many of which first appeared on social media on Dec. 9 — depict “male soldiers in uniform, or parts of uniforms, wearing dog masks, leather and chains. Some of the photos depict poses of submission and sexual acts. Another photo shows a soldier in combat fatigues wearing the dog mask on an airfield.”

Vice President Harris Lauds U.S. Alliance with North Korea?

Here is an embarrassing gaffe by the U.S. Vice President:

Ms Kamala Harris speaks to the media at the end of her visit to the Demilitarised Zone, in South Korea, on Sept 29, 2022

A gaffe by US Vice-President Kamala Harris momentarily turned US policy on its head on Thursday when she declared the “important” alliance with communist North Korea – instead of South Korea, where she was speaking.

“So, the United States shares a very important relationship, which is an alliance with the Republic of North Korea. And it is an alliance that is strong and enduring,” Ms Harris said on Thursday at the start of her speech in the Demilitarised Zone, or DMZ, where she visited at the end of a tour to Japan and South Korea.

Apparently not noticing her misstep, Ms Harris went on to deliver the rest of the speech, which provided a robust reaffirmation of Washington’s alliance with Seoul in the face of nuclear-armed North Korea.
