The Berlin Film Festival Executive Committee announced on the 21st (Korean time) that director Hong's new work 'What Nature Says to You' was officially invited to the competition section of the 75th Berlin Film Festival, which will be held from February 13 to 23.
Hong's film 'What Nature Says to You' is the 16th film in collaboration with Kim Min-hee, and has been called to the Berlin Film Festival for six consecutive years, following 'The Runaway Woman', 'Introduction', 'The Novelist's Film', 'In the Water' and 'The Need of Travelers'. Director Hong won the Silver Bear Award at the 70th Berlin Film Festival for "The Runaway Woman", the Silver Bear Award at the 71st Berlin Film Festival for "Introduction", and the Silver Bear Award at the 72nd Berlin Film Festival for "The Novelist's Film". At the 74th Berlin Film Festival held last year, it received the grand prize for the Silver Bear Award for "Need of Travelers", but Kim Min-hee did not attend at the time.
In particular, attention is drawn to director Hong's invitation to the Berlin Film Festival because the news of Kim Min-hee's pregnancy was announced. Dispatch reported on the 17th that Kim Min-hee was pregnant with director Hong's child. According to reports, Kim Min-hee is living with director Hong in Hanam, Gyeonggi-do, and found out last summer that she was pregnant with a child. She is currently six months pregnant and is due to give birth this spring.

On the other hand, he is consistently attending film festivals and events held overseas. They attended the 77th Locarno Film Festival held in Switzerland in August last year with their new work 'Suyucheon'. Kim Min-hee, who won the Best Performance in International Competition at the time, said, `Director Hong Sang-soo, who made such a beautiful movie. I love your movie so much. Thank you so much for letting us work together." Kim Min-hee, who returned to her seat with the trophy, held Hong's hand tightly, and Hong also patted his hand and shared the joy of the award together. As the 75th Berlin Film Festival is Hong's first public appearance since the 「Out-of-wedlock scandal」, attention is being paid to whether he will also mention his upcoming child.
