, attendance becomes uncertain, fans worried↑
One of the entertainment industry's representative long-term dating couples, Kim Woo-bin–Shin Mina, is holding their wedding on Dec. 20, and as the possibility of EXO Doh Kyung Soo (D.O.), who had been mentioned as a candidate for the wedding song, attending has rapidly become uncertain, fans' regret and concern are growing.
#. Agency "wedding, Dec. 20 private… host·officiant·wedding song all undecided"
Kim Woo-bin and Shin Mina's agency AM Entertainment announced the marriage, saying, "With the trust built over a long time, they decided to become each other's partners." The wedding will be held at the Shilla Hotel in Seoul in a private format attended only by family and close relatives. Regarding rumors of a premarital pregnancy, they drew a line, saying, "absolutely groundless."
Also, according to OSEN reporting, the agency reiterated, "Apart from the date and location, nothing has been decided yet. host·officiant·wedding song all undecided."
But the wedding song candidate that fans most expected was undoubtedly Doh Kyung Soo. In the Mexico episode of tvN's Kongkongpangpang that aired on the 21st, a road trip scene with Kim Woo-bin·Lee Kwang-soo·Doh Kyung Soo was revealed. While choosing music in the car, when Kim Woo-bin directly said, "Play Kyung Soo's song!" Doh Kyung Soo played his own song "Popcorn."
The three sang along and the atmosphere rose considerably, and Kim Woo-bin could not hide his happiness, saying "I love it!" at the highlight lyrics. The lyrics included "the scene of the day we first met/ you looked beautiful as if blinded by love," and reactions saying it reminded people of Shin Mina and Kim Woo-bin's first meeting (the ad shoot) followed, and online "Doh Kyung Soo wedding song theory" spread rapidly.
#. But… Doh Kyung Soo has a 'Melon Music Awards' schedule on the same day
However, both the wedding and the wedding song are uncertain. According to officials, on the day of Kim Woo-bin and Shin Mina's wedding Doh Kyung Soo must attend the 2025 Melon Music Awards (MMA) held at 5 p.m. at Gocheok Sky Dome with EXO members. It is EXO's first group stage after their military hiatus, and it is an important schedule he realistically cannot miss.
The wedding is at 7 p.m. at the Shilla Hotel, but considering the event scale·rehearsal·end time of the stage, viewers and fans realistically see it as "attendance is difficult, and the wedding song is even more impossible."
When Doh Kyung Soo's schedule became known, fans said, "If Doh Kyung Soo had sung the wedding song it would have been legendary… so disappointing." "Of all nights, the same evening… the schedule is too tight." "Seeing the chemistry between Woo-bin and Kyung Soo, the wedding song would be perfect, but reality is a big obstacle." "EXO's group stage can never be missed… attendance seems difficult." "Thinking of their 10-year dating story, 'Popcorn' as the wedding song would be fate…" Because expectations were so high, disappointment and worry followed at the same time.
So far the agency's position is "host·wedding song both undecided," and because the detailed composition will be conducted privately, the possibility of an unexpected surprise participation cannot be completely ruled out. However, judging only by realistic conditions, Doh Kyung Soo's wedding song or direct attendance is in fact difficult.
Nevertheless, fans are still sending warm blessings to the two who are marrying after a 10-year relationship, saying, "a couple more dramatic than a drama," "may the love that has them blinded by love last," and "we hope the two are happy for a long time."
