Actress Kim Min Hee, who ”had an affair with director Hong Sang Soo,” wins Best Acting Award at Locarno Film Festival... Opinions fly: ”It's ugly” vs. ”Let's celebrate the award”
There are many opposing opinions in Korea regarding actress Kim Min Hee's award.
According to Finecut, the overseas distributor of "Stream," the film was selected for the international competition at the 77th Locarno International Film Festival.
In the Television category, actress Kim Min Hee won the Best Actress award for her performance in director Hong Sang Soo's new film "Su Yuchun."
"Su Yuchun" is the director of "Soni is in a bad mood" (2013, Best Director award winner),
"Right Day, Wrong Day" (2015, Golden Leopard Awards, Best Actor Award (Jung Jae Young)) and "Hotel by the River" (2018, Best Actor Award (Ki Joo Bong)) are the fourth most popular dramas in the category.
This is a work by director Hong Sang Soo, which was officially invited to the international film festival. Kim Min Hee won the Best Acting Award at the Berlin Film Festival in 2017 for her role in Hong Sang Soo's "Alone on the Beach at Night."
Kim Min Hee, who appeared on stage, said, "I'd like to thank Locarno and the jury," and added, "I'd like to thank the actors who I worked with."
I'm also grateful to the audience who sent kind words after watching the movie. I'm grateful to the director for making such a beautiful ...
I love you so much. I'm really grateful to you for working with me," Kim Min Hee said, giving the flowers to her boyfriend, director Hong Sang Soo. Afterwards, Kim Min Hee buried her face in director Hong Sang Soo's hands,
However, director Hong Sang Soo and Kim Min Hee are still receiving unpleasant reviews for their "going it alone" behavior due to their affair.
The line is filled. Some people argue that public and private matters should be separated and that the mere fact of receiving the award should be celebrated, which is causing conflict.
"Su Yuchun" is scheduled to be released in Korea in September.
