"This is 20 years of friendship" Ahn Bo-hyun·Kim Woo-bin, waves of emotion over real bromance
Actor Ahn Bo-hyun and Kim Woo-bin's unchanging friendship has once again moved fans' hearts. "This is 20 years of real bromance," "more moving than a movie," are among the reactions pouring in.
Ahn Bo-hyun in the past captured and posted on his SNS a message he received from Kim Woo-bin. Kim Woo-bin said "just take good care of your health" and gifted the vitamins he is modeling, and Ahn Bo-hyun expressed gratitude and affection by saying "the cool guy who buys and sends a huge poster-sized photo of himself." The way he had Kim Woo-bin saved in his phone as "Woobin Lee Hyun-joong" (real name Kim Hyun-joong) also revealed the special bond between the two.
Their friendship became a bigger topic when recent footage from Kim Woo-bin·Shin Mina's wedding was released. In the online video, Ahn Bo-hyun was seen watching the two, quietly taking off his glasses and wiping his eyes, and unlike other guests smiling brightly, he was captured holding back tears with a heavy expression. Netizens who saw this said, "Those tears contain 20 years of friendship," and "the face of a true friend," expressing deep sympathy.
The connection between Ahn Bo-hyun and Kim Woo-bin goes back to their teenage years. When Ahn Bo-hyun was 19 and Kim Woo-bin was 18, they first met at a university modeling department experience program and built their friendship as senior and junior in the same department. Later, when Kim Woo-bin went ahead on the path to acting, Ahn Bo-hyun followed him to Seoul to challenge acting, and the two became people who changed each other's lives.
Ahn Bo-hyun has shown deep trust by saying on various broadcasts that "the most important person in my life is Kim Woo-bin." The only friend who visited him when he enlisted was Kim Woo-bin, and when Kim Woo-bin was diagnosed with nasopharyngeal cancer in 2017 and faced a difficult battle, it was Ahn Bo-hyun who stayed by his side and quietly supported him. So when Kim Woo-bin finally became husband to his long-time partner Shin Mina, Ahn Bo-hyun's tears were a deeper expression of congratulations and emotion than any words.
Netizens have sent warm reactions such as "The friendship of two men who endured 20 years together is like a real movie," and "With this kind of bromance, it's inevitable to cry."
Meanwhile Kim Woo-bin and Shin Mina on the 20th held a private wedding at the Shilla Hotel in Seoul and set out on a new chapter of life. They shine in their respective places, but their support for each other remains just as it was 20 years ago.<
