Following the shocking news, the Korean journalist turned YouTuber Lee Jin Ho has since commented on the director’s position regarding his family, such as his wife to whom he is still married, his mother (the director’s mother-in-law) and their only daughter from the marriage.
According to the YouTuber, Hong Sang Soo was once very fond of his only daughter. But once he started seeing Kim Min Hee, the director basically cut ties. When his daughter got married a couple of years ago, Hong Sang Soo did not attend the wedding or send wedding gifts.
The YouTuber added, “At the time, a friend of his wife’s who had seen what happened condemned Hong Sang Soo, but his wife didn’t bat an eye as she replied, ‘That’s who he is.'”
He’s putting me and my daughter through hell. But he is happy with Kim Min Hee. Look how he looks at her.

- “He left his wife and daughter for adulterous love… WTF?”
- “Absolutely mind-blowing…”
- “Yes, he chose not to participate. But, I mean, I don’t think his daughter would have wanted her adulterous father at her wedding. Not when the whole world knows about his extramarital affair.
- “He is the one who falls below human decency.”
- “He has no conscience.”
