The Prosecution Service has requested a fine of 10 million won for A, who was brought to trial on charges of stalking actor Hwang Jung-min.

On the 11th, the Goyang Branch of the Uijeongbu District Court's Criminal Division No. 4 (Presiding Judge Kim Young-a) held a closing argument hearing for A, who was indicted on charges including violation of the Stalking Punishment Act, and made the aforementioned request.

Regarding the reasons for the prosecution's request, the Prosecution Service cited that the crime spanned a long period, contact attempts were excessively frequent, and threatening messages were posted on social media. It also stated that Hwang Jung-min's side has petitioned for severe punishment against A and requested that this be taken into consideration.

Recalling the moment he learned that he had been reported to the police by Hwang Jung-min on stalking charges, A said, "It was shocking." He further claimed, "I thought we were in a mutual relationship, so I felt conflicted upon learning that I had been reported for stalking."

In his final statement, A said, "I do not believe I did only good things. I think there were parts where I should not have acted as I did," but added, "However, calling me a stalker who chased one person unilaterally for two years is a completely different story."

He continued, "I hope the court will look into who initiated contact first and what agreements existed between us. It is not just about punishment; I cannot bear the idea that everything is portrayed as something committed unilaterally by one person." Finally, he requested the court to judge based on what the records state.

Hwang Jung-min's lawyer refrained from commenting on the prosecution's request, saying only, "We will leave it to the court's judgment."

Meanwhile, the sentencing hearing for A is scheduled to take place next month at 10 a.m. on the 8th.
