SEM Company, Hwang Jung Min's agency, released a statement on July 29 saying that the woman identified as "A" had repeatedly harassed the actor. "I saw the official statement released by Hwang Jung Min's side," "A" said. According to AllKPop, "A" reportedly contacted companies connected to Hwang Jung Min's upcoming film "Hope," including U.S. distributor Neon, asking them to verify her claims. The situation also drew attention after reports that "A" contacted Hwang Jung Min's son, who was a minor at the time. Hwang Jung Min, who married Kim Mi Hye in 2004 and has two children, is continuing his acting activities despite the controversy.
