A district court in Goyang, South Korea, sentenced a woman in her 40s to a fine of 6 million won (approximately US$4,500) for stalking actor Hwang Jung-min, according to Yonhap news agency. The court found that the woman's repeated text messages to the actor crossed the line and caused him anxiety and fear. The woman had been fined 3 million won in February for a similar offense and had requested a formal trial.
Hwang Jung-min had previously filed a complaint against the woman in August last year, resulting in a summary order for 3 million won in fines. In recent days, the woman claimed on social media that she had a personal relationship with the actor and shared alleged phone call recordings and text messages between them. Hwang's agency welcomed the ruling, emphasizing that stalking is never justified for any reason and vowed to seek legal accountability for other actions by the woman.
