”Rumors emerge about inheritance of 12 billion yen” Director Hong Sang Soo: ”Even his illegitimate child (with actress Kim Min Hee) has the right to inherit”...A shocking prediction

Following the news that director Hong Sang Soo (64) and actress Kim Min Hee (42) are expecting a child, there is speculation in the legal profession that any child born out of wedlock will inherit a considerable fortune.
Lawyer Kim Mi-ri recently said on YTN Radio's "Lawyer Cho In-seop's Counseling Center" that, "Hong Sang Soo's illegitimate child will not inherit the assets just like Jung Woo Sung's illegitimate child.

"There are 5,500,000 children, but when inheriting, various factors must be taken into consideration, so the legal inheritance will not necessarily be like that," he said. "If Director Hong were to inherit all of his assets,
If he leaves a will stating that he will give his estate to Moo Min-hee and his illegitimate child, his current spouse, Mr. A, will likely be able to claim only his share of the inheritance."
