Kim Woo‑bin and Shin Min‑ah’s highly anticipated wedding, dubbed the “wedding of the century,” is just around the corner on December 20, and fans are eagerly guessing which stars will attend the private ceremony at the luxurious The Shilla Hotel in Seoul. Although the event is limited to family, close friends and loved ones, netizens believe that many famous faces from Korean showbiz will still make an appearance.
Lee Kwang Soo will be the host
On December 18, Kim Woo‑bin’s agency confirmed that Lee Kwang Soo will serve as the master of the ceremony. This isn’t surprising, given their decades-long friendship and frequent appearances together on and off screen. Lee Kwang Soo is expected to extend heartfelt congratulations as the couple begins their married life.
Lee Jongsuk and Kang In‑y
Among the expected participants are Lee Jong‑suk and Kang Ha‑neul, both longtime friends of Kim Woo‑bin. Lee Jong‑suk and Kim Woo‑bin worked together as models before acting together in school in 2013. Despite past rumors of their close relationship, Kim Woo‑bin once described their bond by saying, “Friendship is a form of love.”
Kang Ha‑neul became close to Kim Woo‑bin through the popular drama The Heirs and later collaborated again in Twenty. Their friendship has deepened over the years, with Kang even writing a touching letter of support when Kim battled cancer. Their bond suggests that both will likely be present for the special day.
The “Giraffe Crew”: Cha Tae‑hyun, Jo In‑sung and others
Kim Woo‑bin is part of an inner circle nicknamed “Giraffe Crew”, started by Lee Kwang Soo. The group includes heavyweight stars such as Cha Tae‑hyun, Bae Sung‑woo, Jo In‑sung, Kim Ki‑bang, Song Joong‑ki, Park Bo‑gum and DO (EXO), all influential figures in Asian entertainment. Many expect this group to attend the wedding as a show of support.
However, DO (EXO) may be absent due to scheduling conflicts with the Melon Music Awards, which will be held on the same day. Meanwhile, Song Joong‑ki, who has not been seen with the group in recent years, is unlikely to make an appearance.
Friends model F5
Lee Soo‑hyuk, Kim Young‑kwang, Sung Joon and Hong Jong‑hyun, Kim Woo‑bin’s longtime model friends, are also strong contenders for the guest list. All five became famous in the fashion world before turning to acting and have remained close since the beginning of their careers. Often seen together and even starring in reality content as a group, this “Model F5” crew is expected to celebrate Kim Woo‑bin’s big day with him.
Gong Hyo‑jin, Shin Min‑ah’s closest friend
Although Shin Min‑ah is known for keeping her personal life private, she shares a rare and deep friendship with fellow actress Gong Hyo‑jin. Their bond has spanned over two decades, having met when Gong was in high school and Shin in middle school. They first worked together in Shin Min‑ah’s debut film Volcano High in 2001 and later reunited in Sisters on the Road. Despite having different personalities, their friendship has remained strong with birthdays just a day apart. For these reasons, Gong Hyo‑jin is very likely to attend the ceremony.
