The beloved Hallyu couple confirmed they will tie the knot this December, marking a significant milestone in their private love story.
The Wedding Announcement and Details
On Thursday, the couple's management agency, AM Entertainment, made the formal announcement about the upcoming nuptials. According to the agency, the wedding ceremony has been scheduled for December 20 in Seoul and will be an intimate gathering reserved exclusively for close family members and friends. This approach reflects the couple's preference for privacy despite their high-profile status in the entertainment industry.
The news comes as particularly special for followers of Korean drama and cinema, as Kim Woo-bin and Shin Min-ah have long been considered one of the most admired couples in the Hallyu wave, known for their discretion and commitment to each other away from the public spotlight.
Kim Woo-bin's Personal Message to Fans
Demonstrating his deep appreciation for loyal supporters, Kim Woo-bin chose to share the joyful news directly with his fan community through a handwritten letter. His devoted fan base, affectionately known as "Uribin," received the personal announcement with overwhelming enthusiasm and emotional support.
In his heartfelt note, which was later translated into English for international fans, the actor expressed genuine warmth and gratitude. He began by showing concern for his fans' wellbeing during the colder weather before revealing his exciting personal news.
"Today, I wanted to share some news with you first, the people who always give me unwavering love and support, even though I have many shortcomings," Kim Woo-bin wrote. "Yes, I'm getting married. I'll be starting a family with the person who has been my partner for a long time, and we're preparing to walk the future together."
The actor specifically requested warm wishes and continued support from his fans as he embarks on this new chapter of his life alongside his longtime partner.
A Decade-Long Relationship Culminates in Marriage
The announcement confirms what many in the Korean entertainment industry have long suspected - that the couple's relationship has remained strong and committed throughout their ten years together. Unlike many celebrity couples who frequently share their personal lives on social media, Kim Woo-bin and Shin Min-ah have notably kept their romance away from public scrutiny, making this wedding announcement even more meaningful for their supporters.
Both actors have established impressive careers in South Korean television and film.
