Actor Go Se-won shared his thoughts on concluding a prolonged legal battle with A, a woman in her 40s and former lover who had persistently stalked him and posted false exposé articles.

On the 30th of last month, Go posted on his social media, "Life is filled with unexpected difficulties and tough situations. In such times, what truly matters is having the courage to face adversity and never giving up." He added, "Through this experience, I have come to realize how important it is to keep moving forward no matter how difficult the situation may be."

Previously, on the 28th of last month, the Criminal Division 3 of the Anyang Branch of the Suwon District Court sentenced A, who had been indicted in July for violating the Stalking Punishment Act and committing defamation by stating false facts under the Information and Communications Network Act, to two years in prison. The court also ordered her to complete a 40-hour stalking treatment program.

A, who had previously dated Go, was indicted on charges of defaming him after posting content online for approximately one year starting from November 2021, claiming that "after becoming pregnant with Mr. K, known as the 'king of housewives,' she was abandoned and suffered a miscarriage." She posted such content 10 times.

He is also accused of contacting Go 54 times, contacting his mother eight times, and visiting his home once.

The court stated, "She repeatedly posted false articles on internet bulletin boards along with content that made it easy to guess the victim's identity." It pointed out, "Following this incident, the victim appears to have suffered serious interference in his professional life, including acting activities."

It further noted, "There was no settlement with the victims, nor did they forgive her. Even considering that she has no prior record of similar crimes, severe punishment is unavoidable."

Go debuted in 1997 and has appeared in works such as the "Unlucky Romance" series, "Suspicious Trio," "Love Is Coming," and "Dangerous Promise."
