Director Hong Sang-soo attended the press conference of the 75th Berlin International Film Festival held in Berlin, Germany at 2 p.m. on the 20th (local time).
The first interest on this day was whether Kim Min-hee would attend.
Kim Min-hee, who surprised everyone last month when it was revealed that she was expecting a spring birth in the sixth month of pregnancy, was seen at Incheon International Airport with director Hong Sang-soo on the 19th. He covered himself with sunglasses, a black mask and an overfit coat, but the full-term D-line was clearly visible. Much attention has been paid to whether Kim Min-hee, who is pregnant with director Hong Sang-soo on a flight to Munich, Germany, will also appear at the festival.

In addition, director Hong Sang-soo did not hide his affection for Kim Min-hee. Asked about the movie's budget, he said `I don't calculate the budget separately. The number of people we need to make a movie is about four (excluding actors)," he said, referring to Kim Min-hee's name. He did not mention Kim Min-hee's pregnancy, but he appealed his talent as the production manager.

Director Hong Sang-soo filed a divorce suit against A, who got married in 1985, but the court dismissed it. Director Hong Sang-soo is legally a married man, but he has lived with Kim Min-hee for nine years and has had an affair.
On the other hand, 'What Does Nature Say to You?' is a story about a day when a poet in his 30s visits the house of his lover Jun-hee, who he dated for three years. It is Hong Sang-soo's 33rd feature film and has been invited to the Berlin Film Festival for six consecutive years. Director Hong has lifted the trophy five times, starting with "Alone on the Beach at Night" in 2017 and "Need of Travelers" last year (the Silver Bear Award for Best Actress), so attention is being paid to whether he will be able to win the Golden Bear Award with this work.
