Hong Sang Su's Divorce Trial Ends in 7 Min

The second hearing of divorce trial between South Korean director Hong Sang-sooand his wife were closed in the seventh minute, attended by only lawyers of each side. 

On March 23, the second hearing for divorce case between Hong and his wife was held at the Seoul Metropolitan Court for Family Courts in Seoul, Korea. 

Both Hong Sang Soo and his wife did not attend the hearing. 

It was the first time that the lawyer appointed by Hong's wife presented the hearing. Until now, the wife did not appoint the lawyer nor respond for Hong's claim. 

After the hearing, reporters followed Hong's lawyer and asked if they are separated. The lawyer responded to the question "I know that they are still seeing," and left the court, adding "I have nothing to say".

Hong Sang-hoo shocked the world when he first admitted the affair with Kim Min-hee at the premiere of the movie "Night at the Beach" in March last year.
