Will divorce trial between South Korean director Hong Sang-soo and his wife be sent to the court again?

According to a source in the industry on the 18th, divorce mediation was held on 11 this month. Already one week has been passed, but the date for next mediation is not fixed which means divorce adjustment of the two people has not been concluded. 

In addition to this, lawyers in charge of the wife's defense submitted resignation on April 17, and on the very next day, they submitted power of attorney document on 18th.

Last November, Hong filed for divorce and the wife has turned down the court’s notice seven times since. The wife declined to receive any documentation related to the trial and implicitly showing her unwillingness to divorce. 


In March 2017, Hong publicized his relationship with actress Kim Min-hee, facing fierce criticism from the public. Hong and Kim officially acknowledged their relationship after the release of 2016’s“On the Beach at Night Alone." Hong attended the press conference for the movie.
