Their departure to Germany seems to be related to the 75th Berlin International Film Festival, where Hong Sang-soo's latest film will be screened. The public is buzzing about whether Kim Min Hee's presence at this festival is a step to prepare for the birth of her baby.
Kim Min Hee is expected to give birth this spring, and their trip to Germany ahead of the baby's arrival has sparked further speculation. Many are wondering if the couple will plan the birth abroad, considering Hong Sang Soo's legal situation still tied to his marriage.
2. Complicated Relationship and Legal Status
Although the couple has been avoiding public events in Korea, they often appear together at international film festivals. A report from Dispatch on January 15, 2025, indicated that they were caught on camera visiting an obstetrics clinic, where Hong Sang Soo was seen accompanying Kim Min Hee during her examination.
Interestingly, Hong Sang Soo is still legally married after his divorce lawsuit was rejected in 2019. This raises questions about the legal status of the child born from this relationship, which could potentially be registered as an illegitimate child or be entirely Kim Min Hee's responsibility.
