Shin Min-ah and Kim Woo-bin, one of Korea’s most beloved celebrity couples, are approaching their first wedding anniversary. Around this milestone, both actors are preparing to introduce their first projects filmed after getting married.
Shin Min-ah and Kim Woo-bin tied the knot on December 20 last year amid widespread congratulations. With their first anniversary approaching, the two have continued to stay busy with their respective acting careers, pursuing new projects independently.
What has particularly drawn attention is that both actors are set to meet audiences with their first post-wedding projects around a similar time.
First, Shin Min-ah will return with Disney+’s The Remarried Empress, premiering on Nov 4th. The romantic fantasy epic follows Navier (Shin Min-ah), the perfect empress of the Eastern Empire, who receives a divorce notice from Emperor Sovieshu (Ju Ji-hoon) after he falls for Rashta (Lee Se-young), a runaway slave. Rather than simply accepting the divorce, Navier demands permission to marry Prince Heinrey (Lee Jong-suk) of the Western Kingdom.
Taking on the leading role of Navier in this grand-scale romantic fantasy, Shin Min-ah will portray a determined woman who fights for both her divorce and the love she wants. She is also expected to showcase stunning visuals befitting an empress, appearing in elaborate dresses, hairstyles, and makeup. Stills and trailers released ahead of the premiere have already highlighted her beauty, raising anticipation for her transformation.
Kim Woo-bin, meanwhile, will return in tvN’s new Saturday-Sunday drama Gift, scheduled to premiere in December. The series tells the story of a former professional baseball pitching coach who gains a special ability following an unexpected accident and takes charge of a high school baseball team ranked last nationwide. Kim Woo-bin will play the team’s baseball coach, presenting audiences with a new side of himself.
Given Kim Woo-bin’s impressive physique and broad shoulders, viewers are particularly curious about how he will portray a baseball coach with extraordinary abilities.
Even after getting married, Shin Min-ah and Kim Woo-bin have continued to win public affection through their acting projects and charitable activities together. Having spent many years building their relationship and standing by each other through difficult times before becoming husband and wife, the couple have received an especially warm response from fans.
Recently, Shin Min-ah also appeared on tvN’s You Quiz on the Block to promote The Remarried Empress, where she shared details about their newlywed life. She revealed that Kim Woo-bin often tells her she is beautiful. In a playful twist, she joked that one of the things she frequently says to him is, “The delivery has arrived!” Her comments offered fans a cute glimpse into their married life.
Now that both actors are continuing to focus on their careers after marriage, attention is turning to the new characters and performances they will bring to the screen as their first wedding anniversary approaches.
