How can I deal with fraud and relationship issues with an international student I met at the research institute?

Question

Hello, Korean community.

I am a foreigner living in Korea. Recently, I have encountered a significant problem in a relationship with an international student who works at a research institute in Korea. The issue is that this student has lied to me about many things in our relationship. Initially, I believed they were forced into marriage, but later I found out that it was a voluntary marriage. This has caused me great confusion and financial loss.

Additionally, I am worried that this student's behavior might also affect others at the research institute. I want to report this situation to the institute, but I am cautious due to Korea's defamation laws.

I have a question here. Can I report this situation to the institute or the police? I would appreciate any advice on how to handle this.
