Actress Kim Min-hee embraced the Best Actress trophy.

Kim Min-hee won the Best Yeon Gi-sang-eul (수상) at the 79th Locarno International Film Festival in the International Competition category for Hong Sang-soo's 35th feature film "Nowhere to Hide."

On that day, upon hearing her name called, Kim shared her joy with Hong Sang-soo, who was seated beside her, before stepping onto the stage. She said, "I am grateful to the director who created such a poetically beautiful film. I am also deeply thankful to my colleagues, and I would like to share this award with them."

Continuing, Kim added, "To my other colleague, Sumi. Thank you so much. I am now with my baby. To my friends in Jeju, I am so happy to share this joyful news. Thank you. From now on, I will act only with true love. Thank you." She mentioned the son she had with Hong Sang-soo.

Finally, she said, "And whenever my heart feels heavy or suffocated, I will watch this film again and again. Thank you, director," expressing her gratitude toward Hong Sang-soo.

"Nowhere to Hide" tells the story of Sang-hee, a daughter from a divorced family, who travels to Jeju Island to find her mother, whom she last saw 10 years ago. The film stars Kim Min-hee, Choi Myung-gil, Kwon Hae-hyo, Shin Seok-ho, Park Mi-so, and others.

Its domestic release is scheduled for the second half of this year.

Hong Sang-soo married in 1985 and has a daughter. However, in 2016, he was embroiled in an affair scandal with Kim Min-hee, and the following year, the two officially acknowledged their romantic relationship, stating they were "in love with each other."

Since then, Hong Sang-soo and Kim Min-hee have maintained a de facto marital relationship and welcomed a son last year.
