Reports emerged that actor Hwang Jung-min had a total of 77 phone calls with suspect A, who exposed his private life over the course of one year. Notably, it was revealed that in 62 of those instances, Hwang Jung-min initiated the call to the suspect, and recordings of these conversations where Hwang made the first call have now been made public.

On the 6th, Dispatch reported on the call records between Hwang Jung-min and stalking suspect A. According to the report, a full investigation of 62 call recordings (totaling 163,439 characters) between Hwang Jung-min and suspect A confirmed that Hwang Jung-min was the one who initiated every conversation.

The content of the calls involved A sending KakaoTalk messages to Hwang at night, prompting Hwang to call the next day with remarks such as "Don't send me messages at night." Analysis of the conversations revealed key phrases including "Stop sending KakaoTalks," "Stop contacting me," "I feel like I'm going to die," "Let's cut ties," and "You're too scary." Hwang Jung-min repeatedly called first in response to A's suicide threats, effectively being dragged along by A.

Additionally, A proposed meeting with Hwang alone in a confined space and engaged in conversations insisting that Hwang must drink alcohol whenever they met to have drinks together.

Of course, it is impossible to judge everything based solely on over 160,000 characters of dialogue from more than 60 phone calls. Only Hwang himself knows whether his initial contact with A was purely out of fan service or not, but the subsequent conversations clearly conveyed fear and apprehension.

In response, Hwang Jung-min's side stated, "If there are parts that deserve criticism, let them be criticized; if there are parts where A deserves punishment, let them be punished."

According to the recordings, when Hwang Jung-min first agreed to meet and drink with A, it was reportedly not a one-on-one meeting but rather an arrangement to meet along with other fans.

Hwang Jung-min's stalking suspect A is known to have previously been a famous home-ma (website master) for an idol group. This involved uncovering celebrities' schedules, taking photos, and possessing detailed knowledge about relationships between fans and celebrities. Given this background, why did A view her relationship with Hwang Jung-min—a married actor—not as a simple fan-celebrity dynamic, but instead as the "sexual relationship," "mutual relationship," or "emotional exchange" she claims?

Public fatigue is mounting amid the conflicting claims from both sides. Hwang Jung-min has stated he will accept criticism if there are any parts that warrant it. Shouldn't A also leave the determination of right and wrong to the outcomes of the upcoming criminal trial and civil lawsuit, rather than engaging in indiscriminate public exposure on social media?
