Actor Hwang Jung-min delivered a standout performance on 'When You Have Time' despite controversies over his private life and stalking allegations.

On the 11th at 9 p.m., the first episode of Season 5 of SBS's 'When You Have Time' was released, featuring actors Hwang Jung-min and Jeong Ho-yeon from the film 'Hope' as guests. Although filming had been completed well in advance and the on-set atmosphere was warm and friendly, Hwang Jung-min is currently facing the biggest crisis of his acting career due to personal life issues.

Coincidentally, on that same day, a final hearing for A, who was prosecuted for violating the Stalker Punishment Act and other charges after exposing Hwang Jung-min and causing online and offline LINE discussions to erupt, was held at the Uijeongbu District Court Goyang Branch. The Prosecution Service pointed out that despite Hwang Jung-min clearly rejecting A's contact attempts, A continued to reach out repeatedly.

In response, A's defense attorney argued that there were circumstances in which Hwang Jung-min had initiated contact with A first, asserting that communication between the two was not entirely one-sided. Nevertheless, on this day, the Prosecution Service requested a fine of 10 million won and an order for restitution against A.

Despite these controversies, Hwang Jung-min appeared on 'When You Have Time' without any edits and excelled in both games and talk segments. After ultimately failing the first game, he brought a ping pong ball to his lunch spot, showcasing his fierce competitive spirit. At the second location, he displayed perfect chemistry with elderly participants.

In particular, an elderly person who had recently learned Hangul read a poem written in Hangul, moving both themselves and the audience to tears.

Meanwhile, Hwang Jung-min has recently become the center of controversy due to A's exposé claiming they maintained an inappropriate relationship since 2024. A alleged that they continued private meetings with Hwang Jung-min, citing screenshots of messenger conversations and call recordings as evidence.

However, Hwang Jung-min's agency, Sam Company, warned: "A is a suspect in stalking crimes who has continuously harassed Hwang Jung-min," adding that they will pursue additional legal procedures against the maliciously edited posts."
