Actor Kim Woo Bin’s Past Words Hint That He May Be Marrying Shin Min Ah Soon

Out of all the public relationships in the Korean entertainment industry, only a few couples have stood the test of time. Actors Kim Woo Bin and Shin Min Ah are one of them.

Since confirming their relationship in 2015, after meeting at a photoshoot, they have been going strong for nine years—even through Kim Woo Bin’s tough battle with cancer. And a resurfaced interview has netizens thinking the celebrity couple may finally be taking the next step soon.

In an episode of Star Date, the host asked Kim Woo Bin if there was a particular age he had in mind for tying the knot. The actor answered, “Marriage… When I’m around thirty-five years old.”

I want to be a husband that’s like a friend, and a father that’s like a friend. My parents are kind of like that.

Because the interview happened the same year the two actors started dating, netizens realized that Kim Woo Bin will be turning thirty-five in July of this year. The topic gained attention on TikTok, where fans joked that Kim Woo Bin “better be on time” to marry Shin Min Ah and that they’d “been ready for the wedding” between them for years.

2024? (this edit is just for fun. the important things about woobin aren’t just his illness and his relationship. minah and woobin will get married whenever they want or they continue as lovers. nobody has the right to force them to do anything. this is their life. i’m happy that minah was there (at that time) but woobin didn’t have an easy time either. not everything is that simple. so don’t blame woobin, don’t ignore what he went through.) #kimwoobin #shinminah
