After marrying Kim Woo-bin and being immersed in newlywed life, Shin Mina returns as an empress who is served with divorce papers.
Disney+ unveiled its 2026 new year lineup and released stills from the highly anticipated "The Remarried Empress".
The Remarried Empress, which attracted attention from the casting process last year, is a grand romantic fantasy epic in which Navier, the perfect empress of the Eastern Empire (Shin Mina), is notified of a divorce by Emperor Sovieshu (Ju Jihoon), who has fallen for the runaway slave Rasta (Lee Seyoung), and instead of accepting it, she demands permission to remarry Prince Heinley (Lee Jong-suk) of the Western Kingdom.
Based on the web novel of the same name, the legendary webtoon The Remarried Empress, which recorded a cumulative 2.7 billion views globally and led an international craze, has been made into a series, and actors enjoying global popularity such as Shin Mina, Ju Jihoon, Lee Jong-suk and Lee Seyoung have joined the cast.
In particular, attention is focused on Shin Mina, who recently became a newlywed after marrying Kim Woo-bin, as her comeback project. Shin Mina, wearing a dress full of red jewels and even a crown, boasted a beautiful visual that looked like an actual empress.
Earlier, on Dec. 20 of last year, Shin Mina tied the knot with long-time boyfriend Kim Woo-bin after 10 years of dating in a wedding at the Dynasty Hall of the Shilla Hotel in Jung-gu, Seoul. The ceremony began with actor Lee Kwangsoo, a close friend of Kim Woo-bin, serving as master of ceremonies, Buddhist monk Beopryun officiating the rite, and singer Car, the garden performing the congratulatory song.
Immediately after the wedding, the two left for Spain for their honeymoon, enjoyed a romantic vacation, returned to Korea and have refocused on their acting careers.
Disney+ said the story, which overflows with dopamine by depicting not only romance but also palace politics and intrigue, combined with a lavish and enormous-scale production never before realized in Korean series, will set a new standard for the romantic fantasy genre, raising expectations.
Meanwhile, The Remarried Empress will be presented on Disney+ later this year.
