Actress Song Sun-mi recently attended the Berlin International Film Festival for director Hong Sang-soo's latest film, drawing attention to the personal lives of Hong and Kim Min-hee, who are raising a child together.
On February 23, Song Sun-mi shared on her social media, "I just returned from the Berlin Film Festival. It was an experience that broadened my perspective. Seeing people living diverse lives simplified my thoughts and strengthened my resolve in the direction I want to live. Please look forward to the film 'The Day She Returns.' It will be released in Korea soon. Have a wonderful day!"
The photos she posted show various moments of Song Sun-mi at the Berlin Film Festival, including appearances with director Hong Sang-soo. Hong, sporting white hair and a beard, is seen engaging in various activities at the festival.
This has also brought attention to the current status of Hong Sang-soo and Kim Min-hee. The couple reportedly welcomed a son in April last year. A photo surfaced on an online community showing the family at Misa Lake Park, with Kim holding their son and Hong affectionately looking at him. As their son approaches his first birthday, public interest in their lives has grown, especially since there have been few updates since the birth.
Hong Sang-soo's new film, 'The Day She Returns,' premiered at the 76th Berlin Film Festival. Kim Min-hee, his long-time partner, participated as a production manager. The couple has been in a long-term relationship, collaborating on various film projects.
