Director Hong Sang-soo and actress Kim Min-hee's recent situation has been reported, drawing attention.
Recently, an online community posted and spread eyewitness accounts of director Hong Sang-soo, Kim Min-hee and the couple's son.
The poster said "the baby was really cute" and "babies seem to grow up quickly. A nanny or manager was with them," and reported that when Hong Sang-soo and Kim Min-hee visited Incheon Airport they were pulling a large bag and a stroller without wearing masks.
Regarding this, the poster also relayed the anecdote that "many Korean people recognized them" and that "(Kim Min-hee) was not flashy like before but was ordinary and pretty."
Director Hong Sang-soo and Kim Min-hee formed a relationship in 2015 through the film "Right Now Is Wrong Then". After that, the two developed an extramarital relationship, and Hong Sang-soo lived in a common-law marriage with Kim Min-hee without having legally resolved his relationship with his ex-wife.
Also, after Hong Sang-soo publicly acknowledged his relationship with Kim Min-hee in 2017, he halted domestic activities and has appeared only at overseas film festivals. Last year, news of Kim Min-hee's out-of-wedlock pregnancy became known, and in April of the same year news of the out-of-wedlock birth was reported, causing a stir.
At ages 65 and 43 respectively, director Hong Sang-soo and Kim Min-hee became parents of a late-born child, and news of them was relayed last year through an eyewitness account. At that time, photos were released showing Hong Sang-soo and Kim Min-hee smiling while holding their son at Misa Lake Park in Hanam, Gyeonggi. Then too, the two were enjoying a walk confidently without covering their faces.
Later, on the 1st, Song Sun-mi posted photos of her attendance at the 76th Berlin International Film Festival on her personal account, and in the process a photo capturing Hong Sang-soo drew attention.
Meanwhile, after about a year, another warm daily life with the out-of-wedlock child was revealed, attracting attention. However, because the shameful labels of "adultery" and "out-of-wedlock child" follow the two, public reactions to their actions are divided.
Meanwhile, director Hong Sang-soo recently premiered his new work "The Day She Returned," in which Kim Min-hee participated as production chief, at the 76th Berlin International Film Festival. "The Day She Returned" was officially invited to the panorama section of the 76th Berlin International Film Festival and is scheduled to be released domestically in the first half of this year.
