Recently, YTN Radio 'Jo In-seop's Counseling Center' dealt with the news of Hong Sang-soo and Kim Min-hee's second generation. Attorney Kim Mi-ru said "The two are not legally married. The child who will give birth is not born within the marriage. Kim Min-hee's child will register his birth and after that, director Hong Sang-soo can become a father through the recognition process" he explained.
As to whether this extramarital person will also inherit director Hong's property, "Yes." "Since extramarital people are also children, if they are direct descendants according to the civil law inheritance ranking, they will naturally be inherited as heirs."
Earlier, it was reported that Hong Sang-soo inherited a legacy worth 120 billion won from his mother. Lawyer Kim said "Yes" when asked "Is that inherited to director Hong Sang-soo and that out-of-wedlock children also have the right to inherit?"
Meanwhile, director Hong and Kim Min-hee developed into lovers in the 2015 movie `Right Now, Wrong Then,' and admitted to their affair in 2017. Director Hong got married in 1985, and he also has a daughter. Since then, director Hong has filed for divorce from his wife, but lost in 2019. At the time, the court judged that "the divorce he claimed is not allowed because Hong Sang-soo is primarily responsible for the breakdown of the marriage."
On the 17th, news broke that Kim Min-hee was pregnant with director Hong's child. According to the Dispatch report, Kim Min-hee's due date is this spring, and the two were also spotted going to the obstetrics and gynecology clinic together.
