A woman in her 40s brought to trial on charges of stalking actor Hwang Jung-min has been sentenced to a fine of 6 million won.

The court explained that her actions were recognized as being enough to instill fear in the victim.

Previously, the woman, identified as A, posted messages and phone call records shared with Hwang Jung-min on social media, claiming they had a personal relationship.

A had appealed a court decision from last February that issued a summary order of a 3 million won fine for stalking charges, requesting a formal trial. In yesterday's (September 8) ruling, the fine was doubled.

The court stated that, given the frequency and number of messages, it is recognized that they caused fear to the victim.

It added that even if there had been a justifiable reason, A's actions exceeded that level.
