Hwang Jung-min’s Agency Responds to Personal Life Rumors, Saying They Were Written by 'Stalking Suspect'

Actor Hwang Jung-min's agency has taken a strong stance against recent personal life rumors circulating online, claiming they were maliciously fabricated by a stalking crime suspect.

Today (the 29th), Hwang's agency, Sam Company, released an official statement saying, "The author of the malicious posts regarding Hwang Jung-min is a stalking crime suspect who has continuously harassed him from the past," adding that they filed a criminal complaint against the individual last year.

The agency explained, "The court has already issued three restraining orders against the suspect, acknowledged the stalking charges, and issued a summary order of 3 million won in fines."

Furthermore, the agency warned of additional legal measures regarding the distribution of maliciously edited posts, apologizing by saying, "We are sorry for causing concern to the fans."

Earlier today, posts raising suspicions about his personal life spread across social media and other platforms, using text message contents and call recording files that the author claimed to have exchanged with Hwang Jung-min as evidence.

Meanwhile, Hwang is currently meeting audiences through director Na Hong-jin's film HOPE, which was released in mid-July.
