The plaintiff asked 'Did Nam Hyun-hee know when he invested in Jeon Cheong-jo?When asked by the police ', Jeon Cheong-jo said at the time of the first investment that it should be kept a secret from Nam Hyun-hee.

The court said "The defendant (Nam Hyun-hee) did not know the substance of the previous request, just like the plaintiff."In light of the conversation between the defendant and the people around the defendant and the various actions the defendant would not have done had he not trusted Jeon Cheong-jo, just as the plaintiff fell into an error by trusting the appearance of Jeon Cheong-jo, the defendant also seems to have been deceived by Jeon Cheong-jo's lies and thought that Jeon Cheong-jo was the real third generation of chaebol." Regarding the Plaintiff's claim of receiving criminal proceeds, there is no evidence that the Defendant received the gift used with the former Cheongjo for living expenses or received from the former Cheongjo even though he knew that the Defendant was criminal proceeds, so this part's claim was also dismissed. The ruling resolved allegations of Nam's accomplices, which have been raised by some.
