A court session will be held to sentence a person identified as A, who is accused of stalking actor Hwang Jung-min.

On the morning of the 8th, Judge Kim Yeong-a (Director) of the Criminal Division 4 at Goyang Branch of the Uijeongbu District Court will conduct a sentencing hearing regarding charges including violation of the Stalking Punishment Act against A.

During the closing arguments held last month on the 11th, the Prosecution Service requested a fine of 10 million won for A.

A's legal team emphasized that communication between the two parties was not one-sided and pleaded not guilty to the stalking charges. In their final statement, A acknowledged some fault in their actions but argued, "Being labeled as a stalker who chased one person unilaterally for two years is entirely different."

Notably, A's appearance at the trial also became a topic of discussion. A is reported to be a woman in her 40s.

Appearing in court for the closing arguments, A wore a dark gray hat and suit along with a white mask, revealing only long hair beneath the hat while concealing most of their face.

Meanwhile, until recently, A has been making claims through their social media account suggesting they had a private relationship with Hwang Jung-min, a married man, and partially released recordings of phone calls and messages exchanged between them.

However, Hwang's side firmly denied these claims as "not factual." His agency, Sam Company, referred to A as "a suspect in a stalking crime who has continuously harassed Hwang" and confirmed that they filed criminal charges against A.

According to Sam Company, the court imposed temporary measures such as no-contact orders against A on three separate occasions and issued a summary order for a fine of 3 million won after acknowledging the stalking allegations. However, A contested this and requested a formal trial.

Separately, A has filed a lawsuit seeking approximately 200 million won in damages from Hwang Jung-min. A claims they were offered a soju business venture by Hwang and subsequently worked on design proposals and scriptwriting but did not receive fair compensation for their efforts.

The court handling the case referred both parties to mediation in June to facilitate a settlement. However, since neither side appeared at the mediation session held on the 14th of last month, the court made a decision for compulsory mediation. Following this, both Hwang's side and A filed objections to the compulsory mediation decision, leading the case to proceed to a full trial.
