On February 26, South Korean director Hong Sang-so's new work "The Woman Who Escaped" was successfully shortlisted for the Golden Bear Award at the 70th Berlin International Film Festival, and he appeared at the film festival with the film's lead actor Kim Min-hee on the same day.
The 60-year-old Hong Shangxiu, who has white hair, appeared on the red carpet in a black suit that day, accompanied by Kim Min-hee, the heroine of the film, who is also Hong Shangxiu's current girlfriend.
The 38-year-old Kim Min-hee not only has fair skin, but also maintains a very good figure, and she wore a white V-neck dress with a pair of simple high heels that day, with an elegant posture, during which she has been tightly holding Hong Shangxiu's arm.
As soon as the two appeared, they immediately attracted the attention of the on-site media, not only because "The Woman Who Ran Away" was shortlisted for the Golden Bear Award, but also because of the extraordinary love between the two of them who were 22 years apart.
Hong Sang-so and Kim Min-hee are related to the 2015 film "This Time is Right and Then Wrong", and then collaborated on several works such as "Alone at night on the Seashore", "Claire's Camera", "After", "Grass Leaf Collection" and so on, and the two gradually developed a good feeling in cooperation.
In 2016, the media exposed that Hong Shangxiu cheated on Kim Minxi in marriage, and Hong Shangxiu's wife also accused him of running away from home and abandoning his wife and daughter, but Hong Shangxiu did not pay attention to it, and in 2017, he also publicly admitted that he and Kim Minxi were lovers, and in 2019, Hong Shangxiu was exposed to divorce and lost, but it did not affect his relationship with Kim Minxi.
The two not only appeared together at the Berlin Film Festival, but also performed very intimately at the premiere press conference, and the two also whispered during their seats side by side, seeing Hong Shangxiu, who was busy looking for a mobile phone, Kim Min-hee also showed a very happy smile.
At the press conference, the on-site reporter asked about the film's "Which woman finally escaped?" He asked Hong Shangxiu a question, but Hong Shangxiu said that he had not yet thought about it, he thought that everyone had something to escape, and he only created such a plot because he liked the feeling of escape.
