South Korean stars Kim Woo‑bin and Shin Min‑a, one of the entertainment industry’s most beloved couples, have officially tied the knot after more than a decade together.
The couple exchanged vows in a private ceremony on Saturday, December 20, marking a deeply anticipated milestone in their long‑term relationship.
The wedding was held at the Shilla Hotel in Seoul and attended only by immediate family, close relatives, and friends, reflecting the couple’s preference for an intimate celebration away from the public eye.
A close friend of the groom and longtime industry colleague, actor Lee Kwang‑soo, served as host of the ceremony, highlighting the close personal bonds the couple shares within the entertainment community.
Ahead of the ceremony, the pair made headlines with a generous charitable gesture, donating roughly ₩300 million (about US$220,000) as part of their wedding day giving, reflecting their shared values of philanthropy and public service.
The romance between Kim Woo‑bin and Shin Min‑a began publicly in 2015, when the pair confirmed they were in a relationship after meeting on a commercial set.
Over the ensuing years, they became one of South Korea’s most enduring celebrity couples, maintaining a high‑profile but grounded partnership in the spotlight.
Their relationship weathered significant challenges, including Kim’s battle with nasopharyngeal cancer, during which Shin stood by his side.
The couple’s resilience and mutual support have often been highlighted by fans and media alike as key parts of their love story.
Following the ceremony, the couple’s agency, AM Entertainment, shared a monochrome wedding photo on social media with a message of gratitude, thanking fans for their warm support and expressing hope for the future.
Both Kim Woo‑bin and Shin Min‑a continue to be active in their acting careers, and they have expressed a desire to carry the same dedication they’ve shown in their personal lives into their future professional projects.
