The wedding took place Saturday afternoon at the Shilla Hotel in Seoul and was held as a strictly private ceremony. Attendance was limited to immediate family members, relatives and a close circle of friends, reflecting the couple’s long-standing preference for privacy. Actor Lee Kwang-soo, a longtime friend of Kim Woo-bin, hosted the ceremony.
The marriage had been publicly confirmed last month when the couple’s agency, AM Entertainment, released an official statement announcing that the two had decided to become lifelong partners. The agency described their decision as one rooted in “deep trust built over many years together” and requested warm support and blessings from the public. On the same day, Kim Woo-bin personally addressed fans by sharing handwritten letters through his official fan café, writing that he was preparing to “build a family and walk forward together” with the person who has been by his side for a long time.
Kim Woo-bin and Shin Min-a first met in 2015 while working as models for a clothing brand. Their professional association soon evolved into a romantic relationship, which they publicly acknowledged in July of that year. Despite intense public attention, the couple maintained a largely private relationship over the next ten years. Their bond drew particular admiration when Shin Min-a remained by Kim Woo-bin’s side during his treatment for nasopharyngeal cancer, reinforcing their reputation as one of the industry’s most steadfast couples.
Kim Woo-bin began his career as a model in 2008 before transitioning into acting with the drama “White Christmas” in 2011. He went on to establish himself as a leading figure in both television and film, with notable works including “The Heirs,” “Uncontrollably Fond,” “Our Blues,” “Twenty” and the science-fiction film “Alienoid.”
Shin Min-a debuted earlier, entering the entertainment world in 1998 through the fashion magazine “Kiki.” She rose to prominence through a series of successful dramas such as “A Love to Kill,” “My Girlfriend Is a Gumiho,” “Tomorrow, With You,” “Oh My Venus,” “Hometown Cha-Cha-Cha” and “Our Blues,” becoming one of the most recognizable faces in Korean television.
Their marriage marks a significant moment not only for the couple but also for fans who have followed their journey for years. In an industry where long-term relationships often face intense pressure, the union of Kim Woo-bin and Shin Min-a stands as a rare example of endurance, mutual support and shared growth, closing a decade-long love story while opening a new chapter as partners in life.
