While actor Hwang Jung-min has denied allegations regarding his private life, the production team of SBS variety show "When You Have Time" has issued a statement.

On the 29th, an SBS representative told StarNews that "it has not yet been decided whether there will be scheduling changes for Hwang Jung-min's filming segments on 'When You Have Time'."

The SBS side appears likely to carefully monitor the situation before making a final decision on whether to broadcast.

"When You Have Time" was scheduled to premiere its fifth season on August 11, with actor Hwang Jung-min and Jeong Ho-yeon set to appear as guests in the first episode of the film "Hope" (directed by Na Hong-jin).

However, earlier posts containing alleged recordings and conversations claiming to expose Hwang Jung-min's private life were repeatedly shared on social media, sparking controversy.

In particular, leaker A posted alongside still images from "When You Have Time," which Hwang Jung-min and Jeong Ho-yeon were scheduled to appear in for promotional purposes for the film "Hope," stating, "Don't bring people who are thinking of having an affair just because they have time; don't waste episodes unnecessarily. Stop it on your own."

Hwang Jung-min's agency stated that "the author of the malicious posts is a suspect in stalking crimes who has continuously harassed Hwang Jung-min."

The agency further explained, "Hwang Jung-min has filed criminal charges against the poster, and the court has 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 further legal action regarding posts that have been maliciously edited," and apologized, saying, "We sincerely apologize for causing you concern due to this matter."
