Actor Hwang Jung-min is quietly continuing his stage greetings for the film 'Hope' despite sharp revelations and stalking allegations targeting him.

Hwang Jung-min has been meeting audiences through four-week stage events for the film 'Hope' (directed by Na Hong-jin) since the 7th.

Recently, Hwang Jung-min became the center of controversy after private details were exposed by suspect A in a stalking case. Suspect A has repeatedly claimed on their personal account that they had a "mutual relationship" with Hwang, raising allegations of an affair. After issuing a single official statement through his agency, Hwang has not responded to the revelations and continues with his work.

A video posted by a netizen on the 7th shows Hwang Jung-min attending the 'Hope' stage event. His appearance seems to reflect the emotional toll he has endured, as he looks noticeably thinner over just a few days.

Hwang greeted the audience about the film's content and said, "The fourth-week stage events have begun. Did you enjoy the movie? Please share many positive comments." He appeared fully dedicated to his role.

Despite enduring ongoing controversy and inner turmoil, Hwang has not missed a single stage event during the fourth week. He sacrificed his weekend, traveling to Daejeon on the 8th to meet 'Hope' audiences there, followed by events in Incheon and Gyeonggi on the 9th, before concluding with a stage appearance at Yeouido.

Meanwhile, recently, woman A exposed Hwang Jung-min's private life through her personal account. Claiming she first met Hwang as a fan, she stated that they exchanged messages and eventually entered into a "mutual relationship."

Hwang's agency, Sam Company, announced on the 29th of last month that it had filed criminal charges against suspect A, describing them as "a stalking suspect who has continuously harassed Hwang Jung-min." The agency further stated, "The court issued temporary restraining orders prohibiting contact three times and imposed a summary order for a fine of 3 million won after acknowledging the stalking allegations. We plan to take additional legal action regarding posts that were maliciously edited. We sincerely apologize for causing concern."

In contrast, suspect A has rejected the summary order on the stalking charges and requested a formal trial. Additionally, they have filed a lawsuit seeking 200 million won in damages against Hwang Jung-min.
