Hwang Jung-min's agency, Sam Company, has released its stance on the sentencing outcome of the stalking allegations against a 40-year-old woman identified as A.

Sam Company stated in an official statement on the 8th: "In the first-instance trial regarding A's violation of the Stalking Punishment Act, the court found all of the defendant's persistent and malicious stalking acts guilty, sentencing her to a fine of 6 million won and ordering her to complete a 40-hour stalking treatment program. The court clarified through this verdict that the defendant's past actions constitute 'acts that seriously infringed upon the daily life of an affiliated actor' and clearly qualify as stalking crimes. We believe this judgment confirms that stalking behavior threatening others' lives cannot be justified under any circumstances, and we deeply respect the judiciary's decision."

The agency further added: "Separate from the first-instance sentencing, we are planning all legal measures against the continued spread of false facts during the trial, as well as the malicious editing, disclosure, and dissemination of recorded conversations. We will hold the defendant legally accountable for any additional actions without any leniency."

Earlier, Judge Kim Yeong-a (Director) of the Criminal Division 4 at Goyang Branch of the Uijeongbu District Court conducted a sentencing hearing on this day regarding charges including A's violation of the Stalking Punishment Act. A did not appear in court; only the lawyers for Hwang Jung-min and A were present.

The court sentenced A to a fine of 6 million won and ordered her to complete a 40-hour stalking treatment program.

During the closing arguments, the Prosecution Service had requested a fine of 10 million won against A.

Until recently, A has been claiming on her social media accounts that she was in a private relationship with Hwang Jung-min, who is married, and has partially disclosed recorded phone calls and messages exchanged between them. Hwang's side has completely denied these claims as "not factual." Sam Company referred to A as "a suspect in stalking crimes who continuously harassed Hwang Jung-min" and announced that they had filed a criminal complaint against her.

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 3 million won fine after acknowledging the stalking allegations. However, A contested this and requested a formal trial.

Hello, this is Sam Company.

We are issuing our stance regarding the first-instance sentencing outcome in the stalking case involving our affiliated actor, Hwang Jung-min.

In today's (September 8) first-instance trial concerning A's violation of the Stalking Punishment Act, the court found all of the defendant's persistent and malicious stalking acts guilty, sentencing her to a fine of 6 million won and ordering her to complete a 40-hour stalking treatment program.

Through this verdict, the court clarified that the defendant's past actions constitute 'acts that seriously infringed upon the daily life of an affiliated actor' and clearly qualify as stalking crimes. We believe this judgment confirms that stalking behavior threatening others' lives cannot be justified under any circumstances, and we deeply respect the judiciary's decision.

Separate from the first-instance sentencing, we are planning all legal measures against the continued spread of false facts during the trial, as well as the malicious editing, disclosure, and dissemination of recorded conversations. We will hold the defendant legally accountable for any additional actions without any leniency.

Thank you.
