Actor Hwang Jung-min is expected to take further legal action in both civil and criminal courts against person A, who has continued to make allegations regarding his private life. It is understood that authorities are discussing procedures to hold A legally accountable for other actions beyond the existing stalking charges.

According to a StarNews investigation on the 23rd, Hwang Jung-min's side is currently reviewing legal measures with their legal representative regarding additional civil and criminal actions against person A. In addition to the existing stalking charges, it was reported that they will take further action after comprehensively reviewing the content posted by A on online platforms and the damages resulting from them.

Hwang Jung-min's side plans to carefully examine the factual circumstances of the content revealed by A, the context of its posting, and the scale of damages before deciding on specific criminal charges and the scope of civil claims.

Person A has recently been making claims asserting a private relationship with Hwang Jung-min, who is married. A caused a stir by partially releasing recorded phone conversations and message contents exchanged with Hwang Jung-min. However, Hwang Jung-min's side has completely denied A's claims, stating they are "not factually accurate." Agency Sam Company announced on the 29th of last month through an official statement that it had filed a criminal complaint against person A, referring to them as "a suspect in stalking crimes who has continuously harassed Hwang Jung-min."

According to Sam Company, the court has imposed temporary measures such as access bans on person A three times and issued a summary order for a fine of 3 million won after acknowledging the stalking charges. However, since A contested this by requesting a formal trial, legal battles continue in court.

During the closing arguments held on the 11th, the Prosecution Service sought a fine of 10 million won for person A. In their final statement, A acknowledged some wrongdoing regarding certain actions but pleaded, "The claim that I am a stalker who chased one person unilaterally for two years is a completely different story." The sentencing hearing is scheduled for September 8.

Separately, person A has filed a lawsuit seeking damages of approximately 200 million won against Hwang Jung-min. A is demanding compensation on the grounds that they did not receive proper payment for tasks such as designing proposals and writing scripts after being offered a soju business venture by Hwang Jung-min.

The court panel hearing the civil lawsuit referred the case to mediation in June to facilitate an agreement between both parties. However, neither side attended the mediation session, and the court issued a mandatory mediation decision stating that "Hwang Jung-min must pay 0.2 billion won to person A." Both sides raised objections to this decision, so no agreement was reached. Hwang Jung-min's side maintains that they have no intention of reaching a settlement with person A.

Person A has continued to assert claims of having a private relationship with Hwang Jung-min, releasing phone records and audio files. In contrast, Hwang Jung-min's side argues that A's claims are one-sided and that damages have occurred due to maliciously edited posts.

With the claims of both sides sharply conflicting, the criminal trial regarding person A's stalking charges and the damage compensation lawsuit are ongoing. With additional civil and criminal legal actions by Hwang Jung-min's side also anticipated, the legal battle between the two parties is expected to expand further.
