Actor Hwang Jung-min faces stalking allegations amid public dispute

A woman identified in media reports as K (later A) claims she had an inappropriate relationship with South Korean actor Hwang Jung-min from August 2023 through the end of 2024. She alleges the two met three to four times, that Hwang proposed branding work and encouraged her to write sexual content for his novel projects, and that she sent hundreds of messages, some threatening, to Hwang and even to his minor son.

Hwang denies any sexual or physical contact, describing the woman as a stalker who initiated private calls and messages. He acknowledges limited meetings but says no hand‑holding or kissing occurred. The controversy has sparked public debate, with a YouTube commentator questioning the facts and calling for an objective review. Legal action over alleged damages of 2 billion won is also mentioned.
