The K-Drama Wedding of the Year!
It finally happened! After dating for ten years, beloved actors Shin Min-a and Kim Woo-bin officially tied the knot on December 20th in a beautiful ceremony at the super luxe Shilla Hotel in Seoul. It was a super private event with just close friends and family. For K-drama fans, this is like a real-life fairytale ending for one of the most adored couples in the industry. Their agency, AM Entertainment, released the wedding photos, and wow, they look like something straight out of a movie.
Let’s Talk About THE Dress
Now for the main event that has everyone buzzing: Shin Min-a’s dress. She wore a breathtaking strapless gown covered in delicate floral and snowflake-like details. It turns out the dress is from the Lebanese designer Elie Saab’s 2026 Spring Bridal Collection. And the price? A cool 42 million won, or about $28,600! To put that into perspective, the average cost for an entire wedding in Korea is around 20 million won, so her dress alone cost more than double that.
A Brand Loved by Superstars
So why is this Elie Saab brand such a big deal? Well, it’s basically the go-to for the rich and famous. The brand is known to be a favorite among Middle Eastern royalty and Hollywood celebrities. It’s not just an international thing, either. Here in Korea, some of the biggest stars have worn Elie Saab for their own weddings, including figure skating legend Kim Yuna and actress Son Ye-jin (from ‘Crash Landing on You’). By choosing this designer, Shin Min-a has solidified her status as a true style icon.
More Than Just a Wedding
Beyond the glitz and glam of the dress, the couple also did something really amazing to celebrate their marriage. They donated 300 million won (over $200,000) to several charities, including a burn foundation and a children’s hospital. It was such a sweet gesture that shows what a kindhearted couple they are. It’s no wonder they are so loved here. Congrats to the happy couple!
