Acting Stalking Victim Claims Involving Hwang Jung-min: Film ‘Hope’ Investors and Distributor Share Their Position

In relation to the issue of actor Hwang Jung-min’s alleged stalking victimization, the film ‘Hope’ investors and distributor and its production company are making their position known.

The investment and distribution company Plus M Entertainment and the production company Forged Films express deep regret regarding this matter.

This case involves actor Hwang Jung-min suffering stalking-related harm, with legal measures already carried out. However, in connection with this, A is causing harm that amounts to interference with business by repeatedly sending emails to not only the two companies but also the partner companies of ‘Hope,’ and by uploading and deleting posts on social media that slander the actor and the film, using content that has been maliciously edited as the basis.

They even showed attempts to disrupt the film’s smooth progress during periods including the pre-release preparation window and the stretch where box-office turning points are reached.

This is not only an act that deals a blow to the overall business of ‘Hope,’ but also one that maliciously tarnishes the efforts and honor of those involved in making the film.

In response, Plus M Entertainment and Forged Films say they classify the aforementioned conduct as intentional wrongdoing against the film ‘Hope’ and will take a strong response.

The two companies say they are actively reviewing legal measures regarding the fact that they had a negative impact on ‘Hope,’ and plan to continue a tough response to prevent any further damage.
