Actress Shin Mina is finally joining the ranks of married women. She will marry actor Kim Woo-bin, with whom she has been in a public relationship for 10 years, on Dec. 20. This is the moment when Shin Mina, who has already played married-woman roles several times in her work, becomes a real "married woman."
AM Entertainment, the agency of Shin Mina and Kim Woo-bin, said on the 20th, "Shin Mina and Kim Woo-bin have promised to become each other's partners based on the deep trust built through a long relationship. Their wedding will be held privately on Dec. 20 at a location in Seoul with family members from both sides, relatives and acquaintances in attendance," the agency said in an official statement.
Kim Woo-bin also posted a handwritten letter on his official fan cafe that day to announce his marriage to Shin Mina. Kim Woo-bin said, "Yes, I'm getting married. I will now try to build a home and walk together with the person who has been my partner for a long time. We would appreciate your support so that the path we walk becomes warmer," he said.
In the end, Shin Mina and Kim Woo-bin will tie the knot 10 years after going public with their relationship in 2015. As they have long been one of the entertainment industry's enduring couples and have received a lot of love, fans poured in congratulations upon the marriage news.
With this, Shin Mina joins the ranks of actresses who are truly married women. Over the years Shin Mina has played married-woman roles in various works and earned the title of "rom-com queen." In the drama "Tomorrow With You" she shared a sweet romance with Lee Je-hoon, and recently in "No Gain No Love" she played a fake marriage with younger actor Kim Young-dae. She also played a mother with a son in writer Noh Hee-kyung's drama "Our Blues."
In particular, Shin Mina was loved for portraying a realistic newlywed couple with actor Cho Jung-seok in the film "My Love, My Bride." With a sense of realism and her unique lovable charm, Shin Mina handled the worries and conflicts of a newlywed couple well. Meanwhile, she will also appear as the empress married to the emperor in the Disney Plus fantasy saga "The Remarried Empress," which is scheduled to be released next year.
Thus, having played married-woman roles several times in works until now, Shin Mina now in real life becomes Kim Woo-bin's wife, reaping the fruits of 10 years of dating and heralding the second act of her life.
Shin Mina and Kim Woo-bin plan to actively continue their acting careers after marriage. The agency said, "We ask that you send warm support and blessings for the future of the two people who have made this important life decision, and both will continue to faithfully perform their duties as actors and strive to repay the love they have received," the agency said.
