Actress Choi Yoo-ra has started working with her husband, also an actor, Kim Min-jae. This marks the beginning of her active career as an actress. The couple, who won the Best Couple Award last year, is experiencing double joy.
On the 27th, Incode Entertainment announced that it has signed an exclusive contract with actress Choi Yoo-ra, drawing attention. Incode Entertainment, which includes singer and actor Kim Jae-joong, Kara's Nicole, actor Lee Ji-hoon, and her husband actor Kim Min-jae, is also expanding its areas in the actor sector and growing into a global entertainment company.
The couple Kim Min-jae and Choi Yoo-ra gained a lot of love after revealing their married life in Jeju on SBS 'Same Bed, Different Dreams Season 2 - You Are My Destiny' (hereafter referred to as 'Same Bed, Different Dreams 2') last July. They garnered affection by showcasing their warm family love.
Perhaps because of this, the couple, who became superstars in Jeju after their broadcast appearance, surprised everyone by revealing that their café's sales increased by a staggering 30 times. In fact, the café was filled with customers during the broadcast. At that time, Choi Yoo-ra said, "After 'Same Bed, Different Dreams' aired, guests suddenly poured into our café, something we never anticipated," noting that they had to quickly reorganize afterward.
Kim Min-jae also noted, "Before filming 'Same Bed, Different Dreams 2', we couldn't sell even one cup, but after the broadcast, the space became more welcoming." Thanks to this, they also gained regular customers. The two particularly relied on the café's revenue to cover the operating costs of their art school. Choi Yoo-ra mentioned, "Thanks to the café's income, we were able to invite actors for auditions and secure production costs, and I am doing my best to manage the café," indicating that she, being an actress herself, has not let go of her acting ties.
As a result, expectations for Choi Yoo-ra's acting debut are rising even more. Choi Yoo-ra is known for her stunning beauty, being compared to stars like Lee Hyori and Han So-hee. Incode stated, "We are pleased to work with actress Choi Yoo-ra following actor Kim Min-jae," adding, "We will fully support actress Choi Yoo-ra so she can show the public various sides of herself through more activities," indicating their active support for her upcoming endeavors.
In response, netizens left supportive comments such as, "I want to see Choi Yoo-ra actively pursuing her acting career," "Since she is from the same agency as her husband, it feels more stable; I hope she gets many offers," and "To the actor couple, may you thrive together."
Meanwhile, the couple Choi Yoo-ra and Kim Min-jae won the Best Couple Award at the '2024 SBS Entertainment Awards'. Kim Min-jae expressed, "It feels like a miracle that we are appearing in entertainment shows. Since we are doing plays in Jeju, we discussed with our seniors and teachers with gratitude for what we have received and that we should do well."
Choi Yoo-ra also shared, "I was living quietly and unassumingly in distant Jeju, but I sincerely appreciate those who came to visit me in person and cried and laughed with me. I truly don't know how to repay them. I am sincerely grateful to each one of you."
