On Aug. 17, actress Kim Min Hee attended the 77th Locarno International Film Festival in Switzerland, where she was awarded "Best Actress" for her role in her latest film "In Our Day," which was directed by her long-time boyfriend Hong Sang Soo, who remains married. 
As her name was announced as the winner, Kim was spotted holding onto Hong's hand tightly before going to the stage to claim the award. During her speech, she thanked Hong for making a beautiful movie and said that she loved him so much.
The couple has a 22-year age gap and confirmed their relationship in 2017, which the public didn't approve of because of Hong's marital status.

It’s also fascinating how their relationship, despite the age gap and Hong’s marital status, has sparked so much attention. 
Love or art? It seems like they’ve both found something powerful together. It’s cool to see their personal connection reflected in the film and the award she received! 
Regardless of the drama, Kim Min Hee’s talent shines through—‘In Our Day’ must be quite the film to earn her such acclaim. Still, the layers of this story are something else…
