In the midst of the ongoing drama involving Kim Min Hee and Director Hong Sang Soo, the actress' past statements are coming to light.
Fans are saying Kim Min Hee knew the news of the affair would break and said a farewell to them at the final press conference for the film 'The Handmaiden' two weeks ago. At the time, the actress had stated, "I think you all (my fans) suffered with me until now. Be healthy, and always be happy. I've been so thankful thus far."
Many are speculating it was Kim Min Hee's final words to her fans before running off with the still married director. It's said she began preparing to leave everything behind since last year as she left her agency in October of 2015. Soon afterwards, her ties with all her endorsements and other projects were cut. Some say this was due to rumors of the affair while others suspect it was Kim Min Hee herself who took measures before the relationship made headlines.
One fan expressed feeling betrayed, saying, "It seems as if she was ready to leave everything for Director Hong Sang Soo when she said her final goodbye before she will move overseas." Issues with one of Kim Min Hee's fan clubs are also arising.
On June 21, DC Inside's forum for the actress released an announcement regarding funds, amounting to 5 million Won (~$4,355 USD), sent by fans for a collective gift. Many fan club members requested refunds after hearing the news of Kim Min Hee and Hong Sang Soo's affair. The fan forum has stated its intentions to address refunds once the current flood of negative comments dies down.
Furthermore, there are new reports that Director Hong Sang Soo has cut off college tuition for his daughter, who previously studied abroad. Reportedly, Hong Sang Soo refused to pay tuition when Kim Min Hee's funds took a hit after her endorsement contracts were canceled.
