Woman A, who raised allegations regarding actor Hwang Jung-min's private life, has once again exposed the harm she suffered from Hwang's agency, Sam Company.

On the 30th, A released an official statement refuting the position previously issued by Sam Company the day before, clarifying her relationship with Hwang: "We met as an actor and a fan, and private contact began in August 2023 when Hwang Jung-min initiated communication."

A continued, "Hwang Jung-min and I maintained an intimate relationship for several months, exchanging calls and messages multiple times a day. Hwang proposed a soju brand business project utilizing his novel Lee Reum-gwa (CEO), and I worked as a design practitioner, conducting market research, concept planning, and trademark investigations. He also encouraged me to write novels. I wrote approximately 30 pieces of writing, including novels and essays; among them were sexually explicit texts written at Hwang's request. Over the past two years, Hwang determined both the method and timing of our contact. Even during periods when our relationship was harmonious, I constantly had to monitor how and when I could reach out."

A further stated regarding the harm she suffered from Hwang: "This case represents emotional and sexual exploitation occurring under a significant power asymmetry, and simultaneously constitutes labor exploitation. Regardless of Hwang's intentions, I have continuously endured emotional deprivation, sexual shame, and exhaustion resulting from uncompensated labor."

She also explained the background behind her decision to release recorded phone conversations with Hwang via personal SNS on the 29th.

A said, "In mid-October 2024, Hwang Jung-min called me first. Yet in his lawsuit against me, he claims that my contact starting from February 2024—eight months prior to that call—constitutes stalking crime. In other words, while asserting since February 2024 that I was continuously committing stalking against him, Hwang then called me eight months later to make private and intimate remarks. Even in the following year, 2025, Hwang called me first."

According to A, Hwang's statements were presented exactly as spoken, without alterations or inserted content. The original recording file and transcript of the entire call have been submitted to the court as evidence.

Regarding the production team of the film 'Hope' featuring Hwang, she stated: "What I am raising concerns only what occurred between Hwang Jung-min and me. This is not targeted at the film or those who made it. I sent an email to the production company during the film's editing period, before I was sued myself. With the release approaching and this issue emerging late, my intention was to notify them in advance to prevent harm to the film and its production team and to request an independent review."

Finally, A stated: "What I have demanded over the past two years is solely Hwang Jung-min's direct explanation. That remains unchanged today. The substantive truth of our relationship cannot be concealed by a procedural event labeled 'stalking' that arose during the course of our relationship, nor should it be buried. I will reveal the rest as evidence in court."

Previously, A raised allegations concerning Hwang Jung-min's private life via personal SNS. According to StarNews reporting, Hwang and A met for the first time in August 2023 and maintained close contact over approximately two years through multiple exchanges. During this period, A claimed she received sexual remarks from Hwang, participated in meetings and business partnership proposals, and exchanged selfies and photographs with him.

However, Sam Company, Hwang's agency, officially stated that A is a "suspect of stalking crime who has continuously harassed Hwang Jung-min."

Sam Company added: "Hwang Jung-min filed a criminal complaint against A. The court imposed temporary measures such as no-contact orders on the suspect three times and issued a summary order imposing a fine of 3 million won after recognizing the stalking allegations. Sam Company plans to take additional legal action against posts that were maliciously edited."

In fact, A received a summary order for a 3 million won fine in February on stalking charges. However, A has contested this ruling and is currently undergoing formal trial proceedings.

Separately, in February, A filed a lawsuit seeking approximately 200 million won in damages against Hwang Jung-min.
