  • A person identified as 'A' accused actor Hwang Jung-min of distorting facts regarding their alleged stalking case, particularly concerning physical contact.
  • 'A' claims physical contact occurred from the airport to a taxi, contradicting reports of no such interactions.
  • The accuser also disputes the age and cat-related claims made against them, asserting their actions were responses to Hwang's alleged insults.

A person identified as 'A,' accused of stalking actor Hwang Jung-min, has vehemently denied claims of no physical contact, asserting that interactions occurred from the airport to a taxi. The accuser, who has appointed legal representatives, stated that facts have been distorted in recent reports.

If unilateral molestation is included in physical contact, it happened from the airport, and strictly speaking, even on the first meeting, the contact continued throughout the alley from the bar to the taxi.

'A' specifically refuted the assertion that there was no physical intimacy. "If unilateral molestation is included in physical contact, it happened from the airport, and strictly speaking, even on the first meeting, the contact continued throughout the alley from the bar to the taxi," the accuser stated, directly contradicting previous reports.

Further disputes arose regarding the age difference between Hwang and 'A.' The accuser questioned the differing age calculations used in reports, suggesting an intent to portray Hwang as younger and themselves as older. 'A' also addressed the controversy surrounding a cat's remains, explaining the photos were taken before and after their 16-year-old pet was euthanized. The accuser claims Hwang was aware of the cat and made a derogatory remark when informed of its critical condition.

Is it only Hwang Jung-min who uses Korean age and I use the traditional East Asian age reckoning? Hwang Jung-min is a 2026 person and I am from the previous administration, with one side trying to make one person one year younger and the other older.

The legal battle between Hwang Jung-min and 'A' continues, with Hwang's side characterizing 'A' as a stalking suspect who has faced legal penalties, while 'A' has filed a formal trial against a summary order for stalking and a 200 million won (approximately $145,000 USD) damages lawsuit against the actor. The controversy intensified with revelations that 'A' had sent direct messages to Hwang's son, who was a minor at the time.
