JTBC's New Dating Show Faces Backlash Over Married Con Artist Contestant and US Runaway: 'Everyone Knows Him as Psychopath and Narcissist'

 JTBC's dating show 'Last Love' sparked backlash following its two episodes that aired on August 15th, 2024.

The program gained traction for featuring people in their fifties and sixties with striking resemblances to celebrities.

However, a contestant named Lee Beom Cheon is now embroiled in an unfolding scandal.

Lee initially captivated the audience with his charm and culinary skills but is now facing allegations about his past that have surfaced on MissyuSA. 

The platform for Korean Americans in the Dallas region of Texas, exposed a complicated history involving multiple marriages.

One person said that Lee was married in Korea for eight years before he left his wife and moved to the United States, where he got married while claiming to be single.

Wow... He's really brave in a way that surprises me a lot! He actually left his wife in Korea and moved to the US where he got married again without mentioning his previous marriage at all! When his US wife found out the truth. Reached out to his first wife in Korea... It was quite a scandal! The US wife tried to nullify their marriage license. Ended up divorcing him for the sake of their child instead of fighting any further about it all... She decided to let him have custody of their child to prevent him from facing any immigration issues since having custody would help him with obtaining citizenship... It makes you question everything, about his life and whether its all a facade or not...After not communicating all for more than two decades since his divorce, from his first wife; he recently acknowledged a child registered under his name unexpectedly. It appears that JTBC may not thoroughly vet the participants on the show which could potentially endanger women involved by exposing them to significant risks... .

Another person mentioned that they knew Lee from a church in Dallas and shared that Lee had a wife whom he allegedly abandoned after borrowing $35,000 before returning to Korea.

I reside in Dallas. Have a strong feeling that he might be deceiving us all as a fraudster hereabouts! There's word on the street that his divorce isn't even finalized with his wife but he seems to be everywhere on TV! The Korean production crew surely messed things up time on this one! Shouldn't it matter that he tied the knot in the US though? While I'm not particularly close with his spouse personally. I have some acquaintance, with her though not too well acquainted with her. Having watched Episode 2 of Last Love has left me puzzled! How does he manage to pull off antics without repercussions? Heard he borrowed $35k but hasn't paid anything back before heading off to Korea; not a move for his credit score if hes planning to stay away, from the US.   

Viewers are voicing their dissatisfaction about these allegations. Critics argue that the network failed to follow the screening processes and could have put the safety of other contestants at risk​.

After the recent scandal commotion surrounding the Last Love crew, the JTBC production team, as reported by the 'Star Today' addressed the issue by verifying and looking into the allegations before removing Lee from episodes to prioritize viewer satisfaction and comfort.

The updated episodes are set to air starting August 29th in, 2024.

"The production team is now reviewing the accuracy of the details concerning the participants and plans to adjust the content to prevent viewers from feeling uncomfortable," said the production team spokesperson.
