The wedding of Shin Min-a and Kim Woo-bin drew attention, especially due to the absence of D.O., who was originally scheduled to perform. Instead, singer Car, the Garden took the stage.
On the evening of the 20th, the couple tied the knot at Seoul’s Shilla Hotel. Having met on an advertisement set, they publicly acknowledged their relationship in 2015. After a decade of unwavering trust and love, they celebrated their union.
The couple held a private wedding with strict security, attended only by both families and close acquaintances.
As expected of a top star couple, celebrities such as Ryu Jun-yeol, Lee Byung-hun, Kim Eui-sung, Nam Joo-hyuk, Im Ju-hwan, Kim Tae-ri, Ahn Bo-hyun, Im Ju-hwan, Jin Kyung, Go Doo-shim, Gong Hyo-jin, Bae Seong-woo, Uhm Jung-hwa, Yoo Hae-jin, Lee Se-young, Yoon Kyung-ho, Kim Eui-sung, V of BTS, Park Kyung-lim, Bae Jung-nam, PD Na Young-seok, and writer Kim Eun-sook were in attendance.
Kim Woo-bin’s close friend Lee Kwang-soo was chosen as the host early on, but focus shifted to the vocal performance. Although D.O. was originally scheduled, he could not perform due to prior commitments with EXO at the ‘2025 Melon Music Awards’ (MMA2025), hence the change.
In an interview with Xportsnews on the 11th, D.O. mentioned, “I was supposed to sing, and I knew about their wedding in advance. However, I have commitments with MMA2025.” He humorously added that he had planned to perform ‘Popcorn’.
Despite his focus on work and EXO, he expressed regret over missing the event, emphasizing understanding within their friendship.
When asked if he knew who would take over the performance, he jokingly responded, “I’ve been removed from the inner circle – like I’m not needed!”
D.O., initially unable to attend, made a brief appearance at the wedding, showcasing his strong loyalty and friendship. After a short greeting, he departed to fulfill his commitments.
As anticipation grew, it was revealed that Car, the Garden stepped in for the performance. Additionally, Venerable Pomnyun, who supported Kim Woo-bin during his nasopharyngeal cancer battle, officiated the ceremony.
On the wedding day, Shin Min-a and Kim Woo-bin donated 300 million won to support those in need, adding warmth to their announcement of a picture-perfect wedding.
