The entertainment industry's long-running celebrity couple, actors Shin Mina and Kim Woo-bin, will reap the fruit of 10 years of dating. Their wedding news is attracting intense attention inside and outside the entertainment world not simply as a star marriage but because they will be a "superstar couple," the first since Hyun Bin·Son Ye-jin about three years ago.
On the 20th, representatives for Shin Mina and Kim Woo-bin said, "On Dec. 20 we will hold a private wedding in a location in Seoul with family members from both sides, relatives and close acquaintances."
Having promised to be each other's partners based on the deep trust built through a long relationship, the two are drawing attention as a top-star couple born about three years after actors Hyun Bin and Son Ye-jin, who tied the knot in 2022.
The reason Shin Mina and Kim Woo-bin's marriage is receiving greater attention and support is because of their solid love story. In particular, when Kim Woo-bin halted activities while battling nasopharyngeal cancer, Shin Mina's devotion and love in staying by his side is already a well-known anecdote in the industry. Having been each other's support for a long time, they will now enter the second act of their lives together under the name of "spouses."
