Actor Hwang Jung-min, who faced controversy over the exposure of his private life, revealed a somewhat gaunt appearance ahead of his comeback.
On the 7th, a video titled “What Happened at the Musical ‘Mrs. Doubtfire’ Introduction Meeting (+Hidden Camera)” was uploaded to actor Jeong Sang-hoon’s YouTube channel, “Jeong Sang-hoon Bi-jeong Sang-hoon.”
Jeong Sang-hoon turned on his camera at the introduction meeting for the musical “Mrs. Doubtfire,” which opens in December.
He explained that it is an important occasion where actors and staff gather to discuss what kind of performance they will put on and hold a reading session.
The rehearsal room was filled with numerous actors and staff. Amidst them, lead actor Hwang Jung-min also appeared.
Hwang Jung-min drew attention with his noticeably slimmer face, appearing to have lost weight.
When Jeong Sang-hoon greeted him, saying, “It seems like you’ve gained a little weight,” Hwang Jung-min replied, “No, I’ve lost more.”
Following this, Hwang Jung-min encouraged Jeong Sang-hoon by saying, “You said you’re doing YouTube? ‘Jeong Sang-hoon Bi-jeong Sang-hoon,’ fighting!”
Hwang Jung-min was embroiled in controversy last July after a woman in her 40s, identified as Ms. A, who he had known as a fan, exposed his private life.
Ms. A claimed to have had a personal relationship with Hwang Jung-min, but his agency denied this, filing a complaint against Ms. A on charges including violation of the Stalking Punishment Act, describing her as “a suspect in stalking crimes who continuously harassed Hwang Jung-min.”
Ms. A was sentenced to a fine of 6 million won at the first trial, and she has appealed, with a second-instance trial scheduled to proceed.
Hwang Jung-min filed an additional complaint against Ms. A citing reasons such as leakage of personal information. Ms. A had also already filed a lawsuit for damages of approximately 200 million won against Hwang Jung-min in February.
Hwang Jung-min is set to make his comeback through the musical “Mrs. Doubtfire.” He is also preparing for the release of the Netflix film “Cross 2.”
