While actor Hwang Jung-min is locked in a public dispute with suspect A in a stalking case, a post targeting suspect A has appeared on Hwang's fan site, drawing attention.

On the 6th, a community forum saw a post titled, "I debated for dozens of times whether to write this, but I decided to."

The poster, identified as B, began their message to Hwang Jung-min's stalking suspect A by saying, "I hope many people understand that your misguided fandom, delusions, and forced assumptions created all these situations, and that someone could have died because of a person like you."

B continued, "I became a fan of actor Hwang Jung-min after watching the film 'Happiness.' At the time, I was young and didn't even know what fandom meant. It wasn't until the legendary fist-pump stage greeting that I first saw him in person. It happened at Yongsan CGV. After the stage greeting ended, I took a wrong turn while leaving and got lost. By chance, I saw Hwang Jung-min and his staff walking by. With a very quiet voice, shyly, I introduced myself as a fan. He turned around from his busy pace, took one photo with me, and left. That kindness became an unforgettable memory for me. That experience led me to believe that if I attended stage greetings or other events, I could see actor Hwang Jung-min again, so I joined a fan cafe."

This is a post from a fan of about 20 years who became a fan after watching "Happiness," which was released in 2017.

B added, "I never had any ulterior motives for liking celebrities. I just occasionally participated in events when opportunities arose on the fan cafe and later often visited performances like musicals to deliver letters and gifts. For quite some time, I followed actor Hwang Jung-min closely. If we happened to meet somewhere, it seemed he would recognize my face and greet me. In 2016, I started working overseas. On my way home from the 'Okepi' performance at that time, I told him goodbye since I wouldn't be able to see him for a while. He responded with concern for my health and encouragement to do well. During my overseas work life, there were many days when I found strength by recalling the words actor Hwang Jung-min had said to me. About two years later, I returned to Korea and got engaged. My fiancé knew I was a fan of actor Hwang Jung-min, so we went together to see the 'Richard III' performance. For a long time, I always went alone to watch him. When I met actor Hwang Jung-min on my way home from work, I told him, 'I'm getting married,' and introduced my current husband. He genuinely seemed happy, took a photo with my husband, and even signed something for us. My husband also became a fan of actor Hwang Jung-min after seeing that scene. Even to a fan who hadn't seen him in years, his kindness remained unchanged."

B stated, "After that, something unbelievable happened: I learned actor Hwang Jung-min's contact information. To think I would get the contact details of an actor I had admired for so long made me so excited I couldn't sleep for days. Like any fan, I also wanted to reach out first. Whenever I thought about it, I remembered how actor Hwang Jung-min treated his fans. Fans who have watched him for a long time, like me, would know this. Even after exhausting performances, he would take photos, videos, and autographs with every single fan waiting for him, fulfill their requested messages and poses, talk to each one individually, and only get into his car much later. I lived believing that we must not cross the line to preserve this precious and grateful connection." B continued, "Some time passed, and then he contacted me saying that if my schedule allowed, he would treat my husband and me to a meal since the filming location was in my area. I wondered how such a person could exist. A national actor known by everyone in Korea, overflowing with humanity. After receiving that call, I couldn't sleep for days again. But we met with his manager, my husband, and myself — four of us — ate meat, shared stories about our lives, and enjoyed a pleasant evening together. It was a day when my husband and I created memories we would never forget."

He said, "A few years later, I became pregnant. While supposedly doing prenatal care, I rewatched actor Hwang Jung-min's works nonstop. Feeling too much longing and nostalgic thoughts, my emotions overwhelmed me, so one day I sent him a text message. A few minutes after sending the message about my pregnancy, he called. With a warm voice, he congratulated me, encouraged me, and offered advice." He added, "I wonder if there is another person like this in the world. Is there another actor who treats fans so sincerely? Sometimes when life becomes too exhausting, I recall the kindness actor Hwang Jung-min showed me, which was enough to help me endure for a while. He was truly a grateful presence that helped me get through each moment." He concluded, "Actor Hwang Jung-min is someone who can show such feelings even to a fan who simply followed him without any special relationship. It's not just me; all long-time fans know this. Having witnessed and experienced these situations firsthand, I am certain from the very beginning that this was never the kind of absurd situation some people imagine. Actor Hwang Jung-min likely only felt gratitude toward you."

Finally, B addressed stalking suspect A: "You know it too. You just desperately wanted to get entangled in this. Stop it," adding their sorrowful feelings as a fan.

This post appears to have been written by one of Hwang Jung-min's fans to explain his usual attitude toward fans and the personal kindness he extends to those who support him.

According to actual industry sources, when actor Hwang Jung-min meets fans visiting his performance venues, he is known to personally sign autographs and take photos with each one, showing great care.

Meanwhile, recently, a woman named A revealed details of Hwang Jung-min's private life through her personal account. A, who first met Hwang as a fan, claims they exchanged messages and developed a "mutual relationship."

Hwang Jung-min's agency, Sam Company, announced on the 29th of last month that they had filed criminal charges against A, describing her as "a suspect in a stalking crime who has continuously harassed Hwang Jung-min."

The agency further stated, "The court imposed temporary measures, including access restrictions, three times against the suspect. It also issued a summary order for a fine of 3 million won after acknowledging the stalking allegations. We plan to take additional legal action regarding posts that were maliciously edited. We apologize for any concern caused."

In contrast, A has contested the summary order on the stalking charges and requested a formal trial. She also filed a lawsuit seeking 200 million won in damages against Hwang Jung-min.
