Actor Hong Min-gi has announced legal action against his former partner, Ms. A, accusing her of stalking. This follows actor Hwang Jeong-min, who also took legal action against Ms. B for allegations including stalking after she raised claims about his private life. The entertainment industry is now watching closely to see if another legal dispute over stalking will unfold.

Hong Min-gi's agency, Fable Company, issued an official statement on the 19th, saying, "We sincerely apologize for causing concern to many people." It added, "Since this matter originated from a private relationship, we have refrained from public responses or legal measures as much as possible while hoping for a smooth resolution with Ms. A."

The agency further stated, "However, today (the 19th), Ms. A publicly shared on her personal SNS account the registered letter she sent to the actor and related posts." It argued, "These posts contain numerous claims that contradict the facts we have verified, and they are rapidly spreading through media and online communities."

According to the agency, Hong Min-gi began dating Ms. A around April last year. However, the agency explained that during their relationship, it was confirmed that Ms. A maintained continuous contact with her former boyfriend.

The agency stated, "Ms. A admitted through letters and personal messages that she met another man during their relationship. She said, 'Knowing I have no right to approach you after hurting you, I am truly sorry without any excuse,' repeatedly apologizing for her actions."

It further added, "However, the actor determined that the trust between them could not be restored and clearly stated on multiple occasions that he had no intention of continuing their romantic relationship."

Despite this, the agency claimed that Ms. A continued to make unilateral approaches by repeatedly contacting and visiting him while demanding reconciliation.

The agency said, "Ms. A frequently visited the actor's home and even went to his family's residence, persistently engaging in unwanted contact and approaches." It added, "This situation has continued until recently; early today at around 1 a.m., she came to the actor's house and rang the doorbell and knocked on the door until 4 a.m."

Additionally, the agency stated that it secured relevant CCTV footage. "It was confirmed that Ms. A placed a sticker over Hong Min-gi's front door CCTV camera to prevent recording, and also kicked the front door with her foot—an irrational behavior," the agency explained.

The agency accused Ms. A of pressuring Hong Min-gi by leveraging his status as a celebrity under the pretext of public disclosure.

The agency stated, "Ms. A exploited the fact that public perception and image are crucial to actors, continuously threatening to disclose false information to the outside world." It further revealed, "She also called the actor and made statements such as, 'Whether it's true or not, I'll just sue you. Once sued, you'll lose anyway,' 'You have too much to lose,' 'It doesn't matter if you've never been cursed; truth isn't important,' and 'Even if it goes to trial, there's nothing you can do.'"

According to the agency, when Hong Min-gi refused to meet Ms. A, she sent him a registered letter containing false claims. The agency explained, "Today, she uploaded not only the registered letter but also sensational and untrue allegations—including animal abuse and deception of fans—on SNS, seriously damaging the actor's reputation."

The agency stated, "We will do our utmost to clarify the facts through objective evidence and due legal procedures. Regarding repeated contact and approaches against the actor's wishes, we plan to take all necessary legal actions related to stalking. For acts of disclosing false information that damage the actor's reputation, we will pursue all civil and criminal measures, including defamation."

Previously, on this day, Ms. A claimed on her Instagram that she was Hong Min-gi's former girlfriend and stated she had sent a registered letter detailing allegations of dating violence against him. She also accused Hong Min-gi of frequently making derogatory remarks toward women and abusing his pet dog.

Meanwhile, Hwang Jeong-min is continuing legal action against Ms. B, including filing a criminal complaint for violations of the Stalking Punishment Act, drawing attention to the outcome.

Ms. B has recently claimed on SNS that she had a past private relationship with Hwang Jeong-min and has been releasing alleged call records and message contents exchanged between them. In response, Hwang's side refuted these claims, leading to an ongoing dispute between both parties.

Hwang filed a criminal complaint against Ms. B for stalking in August last year, and the court imposed three temporary restraining orders prohibiting her from approaching him. At the final trial held on the 11th before Judge Kim Yeong-a (Director) of the Criminal Division 4 at Goyang District Court, Uijeongbu Branch, the Prosecution Service requested a fine of 10 million won for Ms. B.

In her final statement, Ms. B acknowledged some wrongdoing in her actions but pleaded, "Being labeled as a stalker who chased one person unilaterally for two years is a completely different story."

Ms. B also filed a lawsuit seeking 200 million won in damages against Hwang Jeong-min in February last year. She claims she did not receive fair compensation for tasks such as designing concepts and writing scripts after being proposed a soju business venture by Hwang.

The court issued a mandatory mediation decision on the 13th, but both parties raised objections, leading to continued legal proceedings.
