At this year's Berlin International Film Festival, everyone from 'Past Life' lead actor Yoo Tae-oh to 'Gil Bok-soon' Jeon Do-yeon attended and attracted attention. Among these, director Hong Sang-soo was invited for four consecutive years. His 29th feature film, 'In the Water', was named in the Encounters category.

Director Hong Sang-soo and Kim Min-hee also attended the 'Director Hong Sang-soo Retrospective' held in Paris, France. It is said that they also attracted attention by appearing together at an official event at the Berlik Film Festival.

The photo released along with this shows a street date between Director Hong and Kim Min-hee. Hong Sang-soo and Kim Min-hee are showing off their sweet atmosphere with just one hat. Kim Min-hee placed a unique blue square-shaped hat on Director Hong's head, and Director Hong Sang-soo looked at Kim Min-hee with a playful look, drawing attention.

Director Hong Sang-soo and Kim Min-hee have been in a relationship for eight years now, sharing work and love together. This couple, who is rarely seen at official events in Korea, has always become a hot topic as they do all of their overseas schedules together, especially at the Berlin International Film Festival, and do not hide their affection for each other.
