The second child born out of wedlock in the entertainment industry? Director Hong Sang-soo's girlfriend, Kim Min-hee, is rumored to be pregnant: "She is expected to give birth this spring."

There were rumors that director Hong Sang-soo (65)'s girlfriend, actress Kim Min-hee (43), was pregnant.
 
Entertainment media outlet Dispatch reported on the 17th that Kim Min-hee had a child with director Hong Sang-soo and was due to give birth this spring.
 
According to reports, the two found out they were pregnant last summer and reportedly visited an obstetrician/gynecologist together until recently.
 
Director Hong and Kim Min-hee, who were embroiled in dating rumors in 2016, acknowledged this fact the following year.
 
Director Hong married A, a woman of the same age, while studying abroad in the United States in 1985, and they have a daughter.
 
He filed an application for divorce mediation against Mr. A in 2016, but it was canceled because Mr. A actually refused to receive the relevant documents.
 
Afterwards, the divorce suit filed by Director Hong was dismissed in 2019 following the court's judgment that Director Hong was primarily responsible for the breakdown of the marriage. It was reported that Director Hong did not appeal this and they are legally maintaining their marital relationship.
 
Since dating Director Hong, Minhee Kim has only appeared in his films.
 
Meanwhile, issues regarding birth registration regarding Kim Min-hee's pregnancy remain. Lawyer Daeryun Law Firm, who spoke to Segye Ilbo on the 17th, explained that if you register a birth, you will be registered as a child in the family relationship register.
 
If Hong Sang-soo's future child is recognized as his biological child, he can be registered as a new child in Hong Sang-soo's family relationship register. A parental relationship with a child is established regardless of whether the couple is married.
 
However, with the introduction of the family relationship register system, only direct relationships such as parents and children are displayed, so if the family relationship register of Hong Sang-soo's wife, Mr. A, is issued, the children to be born are not visible.
