Amid personal life controversies surrounding actor Hwang Jung-min, the party identified as A has come forward to claim innocence despite having been fined on stalking charges.

According to JTBC's 'Case Manager' broadcast on the 29th, A's legal representative stated that their client maintains innocence regarding the stalking allegations. A claims to have met Hwang Jung-min at a screening event and grown closer through multiple contacts since August 2023. During this period, they reportedly exchanged conversations about novels and liquor business ventures.

However, Hwang Jung-min's agency, Sam Company, drew a clear line by labeling A as "a suspect in stalking crimes who has persistently harassed Hwang Jung-min." In fact, A is reported to have received temporary restraining orders prohibiting contact on three separate occasions and was issued a summary order imposing a 3 million won fine after the stalking allegations were confirmed.

Nevertheless, A has contested this ruling and is currently undergoing formal trial proceedings. Speaking to StarNews on the 29th, A stated, "It is true that I received a 3 million won fine, and I am now contesting multiple cases through formal trials. Hwang Jung-min's side may have nothing else to say."

Separately, A filed a civil lawsuit seeking approximately 200 million won in damages against Hwang Jung-min. According to StarNews' verification, Seoul Central District Court's Civil Division No. 42 issued a mediation referral decision last June. Both parties are expected to meet at the mediation session scheduled for August 14. Mediation referral is a procedure where lawsuits are resolved through mutual understanding between the parties involved.

Regarding this matter, Hwang Jung-min's side stated, "We plan to take additional legal action against posts that have been maliciously edited," and added, "We sincerely apologize for causing concern due to these incidents." Despite the controversy, Hwang Jung-min attended the scheduled stage event for the movie 'Hope' on the 29th as planned, meeting with fans.

Notably, he drew attention by warmly greeting fans while wearing a wedding ring on his left ring finger.
