Lawyer Lee Ji-hoon of law firm Ro & More recently analyzed the legal issues surrounding the privacy and stalking case between actor Hwang Jung-min and accuser A.

On the 4th, a video titled "Oh, Lawyer Ah-beon, Hwang Jung-min Admitted to Affair, No Room for Misunderstanding, Woman Is a Stalking Criminal, Nothing Has Changed" was uploaded to the YouTube channel 'Known Lawyer'.

In the video, lawyer Lee Ji-hoon stated that messages and voice recordings Hwang Jung-min sent to A could constitute "infidelity." The lawyer pointed out phrases such as "This is our first date," "I'm so excited," and "I want to hug you" from conversations reportedly sent by Hwang to A, explaining, "Legally, infidelity does not require sexual relations with another person. If meals, gifts, or expressions go beyond a normal relationship, they can be considered infidelity."

He further emphasized, "Sexual relations are not required. You don't have to go to a motel, and you don't have to hold hands. This isn't about creating room for misunderstanding; it's simply an affair."

The lawyer also noted that A's actions crossed the line. He stated, "Hwang Jung-min told A not to contact him, yet A did so anyway. That alone constitutes stalking. If there was something to resolve with Hwang Jung-min, it should have been handled legally, such as by sending a formal notice of content."

The lawyer also indicated that charges of extortion could apply to A. He explained, "Approaching Hwang's son and leaving a suicide note amounts to extortion."

He added, "Since A has requested a formal trial, they claim not yet to be a stalking criminal, but there is no way for an acquittal. The actions are clear."

Meanwhile, A recently claimed on their social media that they had a private relationship with Hwang Jung-min and released call recordings, call logs, and message conversations as evidence.

In response, Hwang Jung-min's agency, Sam Company, completely denied A's claims. The agency stated, "The author of the malicious posts regarding Hwang Jung-min is a suspect in a stalking crime who has continuously harassed Hwang. Hwang filed criminal charges against this individual, and the court imposed three temporary restraining orders prohibiting contact with the suspect. Subsequently, the suspect admitted to the stalking allegations and was issued a summary order for a fine of 3 million won."

However, A contested the summary order regarding the stalking allegations and requested a formal trial, while also filing a lawsuit seeking 200 million won in damages against Hwang Jung-min.
