Hong Sang-soo and Kim Min-hee, captured on a warm stroll with a baby.

A woman believed to be actress Kim Min-hee (43) was spotted holding a baby with film director Hong Sang-soo (65). On the 25th, an article titled ‘Baby Mom and Dad Taking a Walk in Misaho Lake Park’ was posted on various online communities. In the released photo, the woman presumed to be Kim Min-hee is holding the baby in her arms, while Hong Sang-soo is smiling at them. Next to them is a stroller, and in front of them stands a middle-aged woman. Netizens who posted the photo claimed that it was taken at Misaho Lake Park in Hanam, Gyeonggi Province. This led to speculation that Hong Sang-soo and Kim Min-hee, who reside in Hanam, may have taken their recently born son for a walk. However, some pointed out that the child being held by the woman resembling Kim Min-hee seems a bit too big to have been recently born, suggesting that the child may not be theirs. The couple’s son was reported to have been born on the 8th of last month. Hong Sang-soo and Kim Min-hee first acknowledged their extramarital relationship at a press screening of the movie ‘On the Beach at Night Alone’ in 2017, after forming a connection through the film ‘Right Now, Wrong Then’ released in 2015. Hong Sang-soo married a woman named A during his study abroad in the United States in 1985 and has a daughter with her. He filed for divorce mediation with A in 2016, which was unsuccessful, and his divorce lawsuit was dismissed in 2019.
