As actor Hwang Jung-min's alleged private life turns into a mudslinging battle, what will his future activities look like?
The allegations about Hwang Jung-min's private life began on the 29th of last month, mainly on social media. The party raising the issue claimed on their social media that they had an inappropriate relationship with Hwang Jung-min and released recorded video, audio files, and mobile messenger conversation captures.
Hwang Jung-min's side said that Hwang Jung-min is a 'stalking crime victim' and announced that they would take legal action. But since then, media interviews and additional disclosures via social media have continued.
As the mudslinging battle deepens, Hwang Jung-min's side says there is no change to their original position. Earlier, Hwang Jung-min's side said, "The author of the malicious posts is the suspect of a stalking crime who has continuously harassed [him]." "Hwang Jung-min filed a criminal complaint against the author. The court imposed provisional measures such as restraining orders on the suspect three times, and recognizing the stalking charge issued a summary order fining 3 million won. We plan to take additional legal action against the maliciously edited posts. We apologize for causing concern with this matter," they said in a statement.
Although continuous exposés are emerging, Hwang Jung-min's side says they will let the law determine right and wrong without any rebuttal or explanation. They intend to maintain their existing position without further statements and are determined to clear the allegations about his private life.
Choosing silence without any additional statements, Hwang Jung-min will continue his activities. The film he appeared in, Hope (written and directed by Na Hong-jin, produced by Forged Films, co-produced by Plus M Entertainment·West World Co., provided and distributed by Plus M Entertainment), recorded cumulative attendance of 4,265,623.
Hwang Jung-min will appear as the first guest of season 5 with Jung Ho-yeon on SBS's 'Whenever Possible,' which premieres on the 11th. The Netflix film Cross 2, scheduled to be released this year, will proceed without schedule changes, and upcoming works include the films Veteran 3 and "A livable house."
Amid continuing revelations, Hwang Jung-min intends to quietly and steadfastly carry out his schedule. Attention is focused on the consequences his choice will bring.
