Becoming Kim (비커밍 킴) is scheduled for release on May 3, 2026. The film is directed by Susanne, a German filmmaker who turns the camera on her own marriage to a Korean man, Kim Jeong Rae, approaching the subject with both humor and a degree of self-scrutiny. Shot in Korean, the film blends observational vérité with performance to examine the tensions and negotiations that arise within an intercultural relationship — questions of personal identity, cultural belonging, and what it means to build a life across significant cultural difference. The film's central question, as framed by its premise, is how individuals maintain a sense of self while genuinely engaging with a partner whose background differs substantially from their own.
