Hwang's agency denied the personal life allegations surrounding him. Sam Company stated, "The author of the malicious posts regarding Mr. Hwang Jung-min is a suspect in stalking crimes who has continuously harassed Mr. Hwang."

It further explained, "Mr. Hwang filed criminal charges against the author, and the court issued temporary restraining orders prohibiting contact with the suspect on three separate occasions. Additionally, the suspect was found guilty of stalking and received a summary order imposing a fine of 3 million won."

The agency added, "We plan to take additional legal action against posts that were maliciously edited," and expressed, "We sincerely apologize for causing concern due to these incidents."

Meanwhile, "Hope" tells the story of "Beom-seok," a branch office manager stationed in the Demilitarized Zone (DMZ), who learns from local youths that a tiger has appeared in the area. As the entire village goes into alarm, he encounters an unbelievable reality. The film continues to draw strong box office performance with 3.61 million viewers.
