There are few things that make STYLE happier than hearing rumours that two of our favourite K-drama stars might be getting married soon.

Kim Woo-bin and Shin Min-ah have been dating for six years since 2015, as confirmed by their respective agencies after the two starred in a Giordano campaign together. While the pair have certainly shared plenty of adorable moments, from sending each other food trucks to gushing about each other in interviews, things haven’t always been smooth sailing for the lovebirds.

While the couple haven’t officially announced their engagement, back in April, Korean variety and gossip show Rumor Has It said insiders close to them had told the show that they are planning to get married in 2021.

They are currently shooting their first K-drama together called Our Blues created by the famed writer Noh Hee-kyung.

From their rocky beginning to a scary cancer diagnosis, we look into some of the biggest trials and tribulations that Kim and Shin had to endure before (possibly) saying “I do” …

Kim Woo-bin dated a model before Shin Min-ah

At the beginning of his career, Kim started dating model Yoo Ji-ahn, who has walked for the likes of Chanel and Dior. The two went public in 2011 and ended their relationship in 2014, as confirmed by Kim’s representative.

“The two were too busy to meet up and naturally ended their relationship. Because they have known each other for a long time now, they are now just friends,” a source close to the couple said, as quoted by Soompi.

Throughout their relationship, Kim was constantly under scrutiny. When he first started dating Yoo, he was criticised after his Balmain jumper – which was gifted to him by fans – was seen on Yoo in one of her Instagram photos. (She deleted the picture later.) Then after the two split, the public once again criticised Kim for hastily “abandoning” the girl who stood by him when he was still a rookie, reported KBIZoom.
