Woman Who Accused Hwang Jung-min of Affair Draws Backlash Over DM to Actor’s Underage Son

A woman identified only as A, who previously accused South Korean actor Hwang Jung-min (황정민), 56, of having an affair, is facing fresh controversy. Korean media reported that she not only continued making various allegations against Hwang but also sent a direct message on social media to Hwang’s son when he was still a minor, further escalating the dispute.

According to a report by Korean outlet Ilgan Sports on the 29th, A sent a social media DM to Hwang’s son, who was born in 2006 and was underage at the time, while she was publicly clashing with Hwang’s agency, SAM Company.

In addition to claiming she and Hwang had an extramarital affair, A told the media that the two had jointly run a private blog. She said that among the more than 100 posts she wrote on the blog, 10 were leaked, including 2 short stories she had submitted to literary awards.

A said she tried to ask Hwang and his agency why the posts were leaked but was ignored and had her contact methods blocked. She said that was why she sent a DM to Hwang’s son, hoping he would help relay the message.

Responding to criticism that she had harassed an underage family member, A said, “This was not a threat, nor was it an attempt to disclose anything. After the agency warned me, all normal channels of communication were cut off, so I only asked (Hwang Jung-min’s son) to help pass along the message.”

SAM Company, Hwang’s agency, strongly denied all of A’s claims, calling her “a suspect in a stalking crime who has harassed Hwang Jung-min for a long time.”
