Amid allegations surrounding actor Hwang Jung-min's private life, his show 'Whenever You're Free' will air as scheduled.

A representative of SBS entertainment program 'Whenever You're Free' told StarNews on the 5th that "the first episode of Season 5 of 'Whenever You're Free,' in which Hwang Jung-min is set to appear, will proceed as planned."

Season 5 of 'Whenever You're Free' had already confirmed its premiere on the 11th last month and announced the participation of actors Hwang Jung-min and Jeong Ho-yeon, who starred in the film 'Hope.' Although filming was already completed, recent allegations regarding Hwang Jung-min's private life left the production team deeply concerned about whether to air his segments.

However, it appears that after Hwang Jung-min indicated he would take legal action against A, the person who exposed him, claiming to have been a victim of stalking by A, the decision was made to proceed with the premiere without any changes.

Previously, Hwang Jung-min found himself at the center of controversy as posts by A, who claimed to have maintained an inappropriate relationship since 2024, spread widely. A alleged that they continued private meetings, citing screenshots of messenger conversations and call recordings as evidence.

However, Hwang Jung-min's agency, Sam Company, stated, "A is a suspect in stalking crimes who has continuously harassed Hwang Jung-min." The agency further added, "The court has issued temporary restraining orders against the suspect on three separate occasions, including prohibitions on approaching Hwang Jung-min, and issued a summary order imposing a fine of 3 million won for acknowledging the stalking allegations. We will pursue additional legal procedures regarding posts that were maliciously edited."

Despite this, A continues to expose details about Hwang Jung-min, releasing recordings of conversations between the two and other materials, causing widespread impact.
