In a real-life K-drama twist that has sent Korean social media buzzing, actors Shin Min-a and Kim Woo-bin will tie the knot on Dec. 20, 10 years after publicly confirming their relationship. Their agencies say the longtime couple, beloved for both their on-screen presence and their steadfast off-screen partnership, made the decision based on “deep trust” built over the past decade.

Private December ceremony

AM Entertainment said on Nov. 20 that the pair have “promised to become life partners after years of a strong and faithful relationship.” The wedding will take place privately in Seoul with only family members, relatives and close friends in attendance.

“We ask for your warm support and blessings for their future together,” the agency said, adding that both actors will continue working actively and “do their best to repay the love they have received.”

A relationship followed closely by fans

Shin and Kim have been one of Korea’s most stable celebrity couples since going public in 2015. Their relationship drew widespread admiration during Kim’s battle with nasopharyngeal cancer in 2017, when Shin offered unwavering support throughout his treatment and recovery. The couple later resumed full activities, with Kim returning to acting and Shin continuing her high-profile roles in both TV and film.

Fans across online communities have been expressing wholehearted support, calling the marriage “the ending everyone hoped for” and “a rare happy chapter in celebrity romance.”
