Rumors have arisen regarding actor Hwang Jung-min's private life. The woman in question, identified as A, filed a lawsuit seeking 200 million won in damages against Hwang Jung-min while refuting allegations of stalking. Hwang Jung-min refuted the controversy through his agency and proceeded with the scheduled promotional schedule for the upcoming film 'Hope'.

According to JTBC's 'Case Manager', which aired on the 29th, Hwang Jung-min and A first met at a screening of the film 'Smugglers' and exchanged contact information from August 2023 until the end of 2024. A stated that she was offered a business proposal to launch an alcohol brand by Hwang Jung-min. She clarified that there were no sexual encounters during their four meetings and that all contact ceased completely in May last year.

A has continued to make high-profile revelations on social media, claiming she had private phone calls and conversations with Hwang Jung-min. However, Hwang Jung-min's agency, Sam Company, drew a line against A, labeling her "a suspect in a stalking crime who has continuously harassed Hwang Jung-min." In fact, it is reported that A received temporary restraining orders prohibiting contact on three separate occasions and was issued a summary order to pay a fine of 3 million won after the stalking allegations were recognized.

Regarding this matter, A's legal representative explained, "We are asserting innocence regarding the stalking charges. The recording files held by our client have been submitted to the court as evidence without any tampering." A raised her voice, stating, "Hwang Jung-min proposed business ventures and novel creation under the pretext of a private relationship before unilaterally breaking it off. If the agency provides a specific statement, we will hold a counter-interview."

A filed a lawsuit seeking approximately 200 million won in damages against Hwang Jung-min. According to StarNews, Seoul Central District Court's Civil Division No. 42 issued a decision to refer the case to mediation last month. Both parties are expected to meet on August 14 for a mediation session. Mediation referral is a procedure to resolve lawsuits through mutual understanding between the parties.

Despite these controversies, Hwang Jung-min attended the scheduled stage greeting for the film 'Hope' on the 29th as planned and met with fans. Notably, he drew attention by warmly greeting fans while wearing his wedding ring on his left ring finger. Given that Hwang Jung-min had long established an image as a devoted family man known for his abundant love for his wife and children, this controversy has inevitably caused him significant damage to his reputation.

Nevertheless, Hwang Jung-min has chosen to face the allegations head-on and is seeking a way forward.

Meanwhile, the production team of 'Hope', in which Hwang Jung-min starred, hinted at a tough response regarding A, stating, "We are actively considering legal action against facts that have negatively impacted 'Hope' and plan to continue a strong response to prevent further damage."
