Shin Min Ah and Kim Woo Bin officially became husband and wife on December 20 last year at the Shilla Hotel in Jangchung-dong, Seoul. Having dated for 10 years since 2015, they were long considered one of the entertainment industry’s most enduring couples, making their wedding all the more meaningful for fans. Their love story resonated deeply with the public, especially as Shin Min Ah stood firmly by Kim Woo Bin’s side after he was diagnosed with nasopharyngeal cancer in 2017 and temporarily halted his career. Their eventual marriage felt like something out of a fairy tale, moving many who had followed their journey.
Now, as they welcome their first Lunar New Year as newlyweds, interest is growing over how they plan to spend the holiday. During the five-day break, Shin Min Ah and Kim Woo Bin will reportedly carry out individual schedules before coordinating time to be with their respective families—spending the holiday “separately yet together.”
Earlier this year, the couple also made headlines after being spotted on their honeymoon in Spain. *Photos captured them shopping and dining together in Barcelona, with their wedding rings visible, radiating newlywed excitement. *The candid sightings quickly became a hot topic online.
After returning to Korea, both stars immediately resumed their busy professional schedules. Shin Min Ah is set to meet global viewers through the upcoming Disney+ series The Remarried Empress. The romantic fantasy epic tells the story of Navier, the perfect empress of the Eastern Empire (played by Shin Min Ah), who is informed of her divorce by Emperor Sovieshu (portrayed by Ju Ji-hoon) after he falls for the runaway slave Rashta (played by Lee Se-young). Instead of resisting, Navier demands permission to remarry Prince Heinrey of the Western Kingdom (played by Lee Jong-suk), setting off a sweeping romance-fantasy saga. With Shin Min Ah taking on the role of an empress, anticipation is high for her transformation.
Kim Woo Bin, meanwhile, continues his steady return to acting. Following Netflix’s Genie, Make a Wish, he is currently reviewing an offer for the new drama Gift as his next project.
As one of Korea’s most beloved star couples, Shin Min Ah and Kim Woo Bin are expected to have an even busier year ahead. While balancing individual careers and family commitments, the newlyweds are stepping into married life with the same quiet strength and enduring love that has defined their decade-long relationship.
