The photos of actress Kim Min-hee during pregnancy stirred up controversy, and now, about three months later, news of her childbirth has followed, leading to debate.

Previously, Kim Min-hee and Hong Sang-soo were reported to have fallen in love after meeting as director and actress in the 2015 film 'Right Now, Wrong Then.' They have maintained an extramarital affair for about 10 years.

As a result, the couple's every move has drawn attention, not only in the country but also abroad. Most recently, in February, Kim Min-hee's pregnancy photos were captured by paparazzi, causing a stir. At the time, it was speculated that she would appear alongside Hong Sang-soo at the 75th Berlin International Film Festival, but Kim Min-hee concealed her appearance by not attending the press conference.

It appears there was pressure regarding speculation about a spring childbirth. According to media reports, Kim Min-hee learned of her pregnancy last summer, and as the new year approached, she received regular check-ups at an obstetrics clinic, during which it was noted that Hong Sang-soo was always present.

Today, on the 8th, it was reported in the film industry that Kim Min-hee recently gave birth to her first child with director Hong Sang-soo. There is also curiosity about the child's gender, which is said to be a son.

However, netizens have continued to debate this news. There are negative views regarding the couple's bold extramarital affair. Hong Sang-soo has attempted to arrange a divorce from his wife of 30 years, but his wife has not accepted any divorce settlement documents.

Both Hong Sang-soo and Kim Min-hee have directly acknowledged the extramarital affair. Following the news of the childbirth after a decade of their bold actions, netizens commented, "They really gave birth," and "Registering the extramarital son's household will likely be complicated," while also stating, "The child that was born is innocent" and "Regardless of the controversy, we should congratulate the birth of life."

Meanwhile, it has been reported that Kim Min-hee is currently staying at a postpartum care center located in Hanam. In particular, a report by OSEN confirmed that their pet name for each other is 'darling.'
