Actor Hwang Jung-min's agency, Sam Company, urged speculation and malicious comments to cease regarding an ordinary fan who has been indiscriminately slandered online.

Sam Company announced through an official statement on the 31st that "we have confirmed circumstances where indiscriminate defamation, insults, and speculative comments are being spread online against a general fan unrelated to actor Hwang Jung-min."

He further emphasized that "current related matters are undergoing legal proceedings, and speculation and personal attacks against unconfirmed targets cause significant harm to innocent individuals."

In particular, the agency stated, "The person currently being mentioned online is simply a pure fan of Hwang Jung-min and not a stalker as alleged by some," and earnestly urged everyone to "immediately stop making unfounded accusations and speculative comments."

It further warned, "We will closely monitor the situation to ensure that no innocent victims are harmed," and added, "We will respond firmly, including through legal action, against continuous malicious slander and defamation."

Meanwhile, Hwang Jeong-min continues to engage in a dispute over the truth after Person A raised allegations regarding his private life via social media. His agency has revealed that Person A is a suspect in stalking crimes, disclosing details such as criminal charges filed against him, a court-issued temporary prohibition order on contact, and a summary judgment imposing a fine of 3 million won. Subsequently, Person A has refuted the claims made by the agency and reported media coverage, leading to an ongoing back-and-forth between both parties.
