Amid allegations surrounding actor Hwang Jung-min's private life, A, the whistleblower sued for stalking, is continuing a dispute over the truth by refuting media reports on the controversial points.

On the 30th, A denied Dispatch's report that there was no physical contact, stating, "If one-sided molestation counts as physical contact, it happened right at the airport, and even during our first meeting, physical contact continued throughout the alley from when we left the bar to getting into a taxi."

He further explained regarding the sending of Goyang's corpse photo: "It was not simply a photo of Goyang's corpse, but a photo of my Goyang, who I had been with for 16 years, suffering greatly from illness, on the day I chose euthanasia."

He said, "The photos sent totaled three: one taken just before Goyang left, another showing the waiting period right before euthanasia, and a third showing traces of wiping blood that flowed from his nose after he passed away." Along with this, A released chat logs containing the attached photos and audio recordings of conversations with Hwang Jung-min. The recordings contain discussions between the two about Goyang.

He added, "It is quite difficult to reconcile with the claim that I sent a photo described as 'Goyang's corpse presumed to be the defendant's Goyang' in order to instill fear and disgust in me." He stated, "In a phone call on January 2, 2025, as shown in the audio file, after I informed Hwang Jung-min of Goyang's condition just before his death and expressed my pain, Hwang said, 'Just smear it with doenjang quickly, early, just like that,' which was an insulting remark. Later, he even denied this."

A stated, "The record with clear explanations attached is merely a confession and has nothing to do with creating anxiety, fear, or disgust. In other words, it was not even an preemptive strike but a belated response to the other party's insults." He argued, "The indictment and media cut out this sequence and removed the explanation, reconstructing it as 'instilling fear.' This is a frame that can only be established by erasing Hwang's prior insulting remarks."

He further added, "Even though access to the attached explanations was possible, they were excluded from the reporting, so I am refuting this part first and foremost."

Previously, Hwang Jung-min became the center of controversy as A's exposé claiming an inappropriate relationship began in 2024 spread. A cited messenger chat screenshots and call recordings as evidence, asserting that he had continued private meetings with Hwang.

However, Hwang's agency, Sam Company, stated, "A is a suspect in stalking crimes who has continuously harassed Hwang Jung-min." It further noted, "The court has imposed temporary measures such as no-contact orders against the suspect three times and issued a summary order for a fine of 3 million won after recognizing the stalking allegations. We will take additional legal action against posts that have been maliciously edited."

The production team of 'Hope,' in which Hwang Jung-min stars, also released a statement to respond. PlusM Entertainment and production company Forged Films stated, "They are causing damage amounting to business obstruction by sending emails to our companies and Hope's partner companies using maliciously edited content, repeatedly uploading and deleting posts that slander the actor and the film via social media." They warned of a strong response.
