Kim Woo-bin and Shin Min-a to Tie the Knot This December After 10 Years of Dating; D.O. of EXO Eyed for Wedding Performance
Top celebrity couple Kim Woo-bin and Shin Min-a are set to officially announce their marriage next month, signaling the birth of another star-studded union in the entertainment industry. With the wedding approximately one month away, details such as the officiant and congratulatory singers are yet to be finalized, further fueling public interest.
On December 20th, Kim Woo-bin's agency, AM Entertainment, confirmed the marriage, stating, "The two have decided to become life partners based on the trust they have built over a long period." The wedding ceremony will be held privately on December 20th at a venue in Seoul, attended only by family and close acquaintances. The agency also firmly denied any rumors of pre-marital pregnancy.
According to OSEN's exclusive report, the agency officially stated, "Nothing has been decided yet besides the date and location. The officiant, celebrant, and congratulatory singers are all undecided." However, fans have already begun speculating, with many hoping that Lee Kwang-soo and Do Kyung-soo (D.O. of EXO), who are currently appearing with Kim Woo-bin in the variety show '1, 2, 3, 4, 5' (Kongsimun dede Kong naseo useumpang haengbokpang), might be considered for the roles of officiant or singer.
Meanwhile, the episode of tvN's '1, 2, 3, 4, 5' aired on the 21st featured Kim Woo-bin, Lee Kwang-soo, and Do Kyung-soo on a road trip in Mexico. During a car ride, Kim Woo-bin requested, "Play Kyung-soo's song," and Do Kyung-soo played his self-composed track 'Popcorn'. The three enthusiastically sang along to the song's highlights, with Kim Woo-bin particularly beaming and exclaiming, "This is great!" The lyrics, which reminisced about "the scene on the day we first met," seemed to evoke memories of the couple's own first encounter.
Do Kyung-soo's 'Popcorn' features sentimental lyrics such as, "The scene on the day we first met / That trembling that wasn't like me / A gaze as warm as a spring day / Like rose-tinted glasses on your eyes, every moment of you looks beautiful." Viewers reacted by commenting, "It feels like he's recalling the time he first met Shin Min-a during that CF shoot," and "His expression truly looks like he's wearing rose-tinted glasses."
Shin Min-a and Kim Woo-bin first met while filming a commercial and have been considered one of the longest-standing couples in the entertainment industry for the past decade.
Following the broadcast where Kim Woo-bin showed a particular fondness for 'Popcorn,' online speculation about Do Kyung-soo singing at the wedding has naturally spread. The song's theme of "exploding excitement," "rose-tinted glasses," and "happiness like the day we first met" aligns well with a wedding concept, leading to the opinion that it would be a perfect congratulatory song.
Although the agency maintains that "the officiant, celebrant, and congratulatory singers are all undecided," the strong bond and chemistry displayed between Lee Kwang-soo, Kim Woo-bin, and Do Kyung-soo on '1, 2, 3, 4, 5' raise expectations that the trio might participate in the wedding in some capacity.
Since publicly acknowledging their relationship in 2015, Shin Min-a steadfastly supported Kim Woo-bin during his long battle with nasopharyngeal cancer, earning the support of fans. After 10 years of dating, fans are expressing their excitement and congratulations, calling them "a couple truly wearing rose-tinted glasses," "a story more dramatic than any drama," and "If D.O. sings, it will be legendary."
Korean netizens are buzzing with excitement over the wedding announcement of Kim Woo-bin and Shin Min-a. Many fans are touched by their decade-long relationship, especially highlighting Shin Min-a's unwavering support during Kim Woo-bin's past cancer battle, calling them a true "couple goals." There's also significant anticipation about whether D.O. will indeed perform a congratulatory song.
