Behind every glamorous career is a real person who deserves to feel safe. This week’s court news is a sobering reminder of that, and a notable win for two public figures who have faced harassment.
What Happened with Han Ji Min?
On October 17, Han Ji Min’s agency BH Entertainment confirmed that the person who posted malicious comments about the actress is the same person who previously stalked Choi Jung Hoon of JANNABI, who is Han Ji Min’s boyfriend. The connection came to light during the trial over the posts targeting the actress.
Han Ji Min: Case Timeline
| Detail | Info |

| Defendant | Woman in her 30s (identified as “A”) |
| Charges | Criminal intimidation and defamation |

| Court | Seoul Central District Court |
| Ruling date | October 16, 2026 |
| Penalty | 6 million won fine (about $4,495) |
The Earlier Stalking Case
According to the report, “A” had already been sentenced for stalking Choi Jung Hoon. That behavior reportedly included visiting his agency’s building and leaving hundreds of blog comments with death threats, profanity, and demands for private meetings. The court previously ordered a 5 million won fine (about $3,746) and completion of a stalking treatment program. That ruling was finalized in March.
Why This Matters?
Many people assume online harassment is “just words.” This case shows courts can treat it as a real crime, with legal consequences. The couple made their relationship public in August 2024, and the posts in this case began around the same period.
Han Ji Min is one of Korea’s best-known actresses, and her profile is available on Wikipedia.
