-Shin Mina·Kim Woo-bin, receiving intense attention during honeymoon in Spain
"As much as you like them, their privacy should be protected"
Actors Shin Mina and Kim Woo-bin are enjoying a long-overdue, complete rest while spending their honeymoon in Spain. However, as local sightings and photos have spread one after another, calls to respect the couple's privacy are growing.
On the 6th, OSEN reported that Shin Mina and Kim Woo-bin, who recently tied the knot, chose Spain as their honeymoon destination and are spending quiet time there. Their agency AM Entertainment also said, "It is true they left for a honeymoon in Spain," but added, "Because specific schedules are personal, it is difficult to disclose them," expressing a cautious stance.
However, after the exclusive report, posts and photos claiming to have spotted Kim Woo-bin at a Korean restaurant in the Los Cristianos area of Tenerife, Spain, quickly spread on online communities and social media. In the released photos, Kim Woo-bin appeared to visit the restaurant in casual attire, and a wedding ring on his left ring finger drew attention. A scene was also partially captured of a person presumed to be Shin Mina dining opposite him. A representative of the restaurant reportedly said, "The couple visited in person and the atmosphere was affectionate."
Responses online were mixed. While congratulations and support poured in, many also said, "A honeymoon is clearly a private matter, but it is unfortunate that it is being consumed like a live broadcast," "I understand the interest for a top actor couple, but they should be protected as much as they are beloved," and "Letting them rest quietly is the real congratulations." In particular, criticisms that "they crossed the line" followed regarding paparazzi-style sightings and photo sharing.
Shin Mina and Kim Woo-bin met during a commercial shoot in 2015 and began openly dating, maintaining unwavering love for about 10 years. When Kim Woo-bin paused his activities to battle nasopharyngeal cancer, Shin Mina stayed by his side as a strong support, and Kim Woo-bin returned to acting after recovering his health.
The two became a married couple after holding a wedding ceremony on Dec. 20 last year at the Dynasty Hall of the Shilla Hotel in Jung-gu, Seoul. Lee Kwangsoo served as master of ceremonies, the officiant was Venerable Beopryun, and Car, the garden performed the congratulatory song, adding a warm atmosphere. Before the wedding, the couple left a deep impression as "quiet philanthropists" by donating a total of 300 million won to several organizations.
As congratulations and interest are great, voices calling for full respect for their rest are growing. It is hoped that the couple, who opened the second chapter of their lives through marriage, will fully enjoy a quiet honeymoon.
