Actor Shin Mina and Kim Woo-bin released that they will marry in December, and unnecessary misunderstandings have arisen over Shin Mina's clothes and photo shoots.
Shin Mina and Kim Woo-bin will tie the knot on Dec. 20. Their agencies officially announced the marriage, saying, "Based on the deep trust built over a long relationship, they promised to become each other's partners."
Shin Mina and Kim Woo-bin have been growing their love for 10 years since acknowledging their relationship in 2015. Two years after acknowledging their relationship, Kim Woo-bin was diagnosed with nasopharyngeal cancer and underwent chemotherapy, facing adversity, and Shin Mina accompanied him to the hospital and helped so he could focus on treatment, creating a moving narrative that fills the decade and has drawn even greater congratulations and support.
Although about a month remains until Shin Mina and Kim Woo-bin's wedding, nothing has been decided besides the venue. The agency said the two will hold their wedding at The Shilla Seoul in Jangchung-dong, Jung-gu, Seoul. The venue is known as an expensive, high-end wedding hall and is reported to be favored by top stars because its layout makes access control easy and security strong. Actors Jun Ji-hyun, Jang Dong-gun · Go So-young, Kim Yuna · Go Woo-rim, Namkoong Min · Jin Ah-reum, Se7en · Lee Da Hae, Son Yeon-jae, Kim Ok-bin, KOYOTE's Kim Jong-min, and broadcaster Cho Sae-ho have held weddings there.
Only the venue has been decided; the master of ceremonies, celebratory songs and officiant have not been chosen yet. In addition, because this is the birth of a top-star couple for the first time in three years since Hyun Bin · Son Ye-jin, the so-called "wedding of the century" is receiving heightened attention, and unnecessary misunderstandings have continued because of the intense focus.
A representative misunderstanding is "premarital pregnancy." Because they announced the marriage "suddenly" one month before the wedding, some speculated that Shin Mina might be hurrying the marriage due to a premarital pregnancy. In particular, on the 13th Shin Mina appeared at the Disney+ original preview 2025 held in Hong Kong wearing a loose dress and showed what looked like slight weight gain, which added fuel to the premarital pregnancy speculation. But the agency drew a line, saying, "It is absolutely not a premarital pregnancy."
Another misunderstanding concerns Shin Mina's wedding ring. The misunderstanding began with a photo she posted on her social media account a day before the marriage announcement; she was wearing seven ornate rings on both hands, which led to guesses about which was the real wedding ring. However, those rings were used for a photo shoot and are far from Shin Mina's wedding ring.
Meanwhile, Shin Mina and Kim Woo-bin will continue active careers after the marriage. Shin Mina appears in Disney+ "The Remarried Empress," and Kim Woo-bin appears in tvN "Gift."
