As a guest sitting in front of him smiled brightly, Ahn Bo Hyun seemed unable to hold back his emotions, creating a striking contrast that quickly attracted viewers’ curiosity.
The reason for his tears lies in a friendship that dates back almost 20 years. Ahn Bo Hyun and Kim Woo Bin first met as teenagers when Ahn Bo Hyun was 19 and Kim Woo Bin was 18 through an experience program in the university modeling department. They later became seniors and juniors in the modeling department at the same university, forming a bond that lasted into adulthood.
In numerous variety shows, Ahn Bo Hyun has openly stated: “The most important person in my life is Kim Woo Bin.” He shared that Kim Woo Bin, who previously transitioned from modeling to acting, offered him significant help and guidance. He also revealed that when he joined the army, Kim Woo Bin was the only acquaintance who came to greet him, adding that he always drew positive energy from his longtime friend.
Ahn Bo Hyun was also by Kim Woo Bin’s side during one of the most difficult periods of his life, his battle with cancer. In 2018, during an appearance on Radio starAhn Bo Hyun revealed that he spoke to Kim Woo Bin a few days ago. “It had been so long since I heard his voice that I cried.” he said at the time, recalling how happy Kim Woo Bin was to hear about his appearance on the show.
Given this shared history, many netizens felt that Ahn Bo Hyun’s tears were natural. Watching a beloved younger brother beat cancer, successfully return to the industry, and finally marry the woman he’s loved for years was enough to overwhelm anyone with emotion.
Online reactions reflected this sentiment, with comments like “You can feel their 20-year friendship,” “Only someone who knows his whole story would cry like that,” AND “When a guest reacts like this, it feels like there’s a deep story and it’s so relatable.”
Meanwhile, Kim Woo Bin and Shin Min Ah have officially married after ten years of public dating. Shin Min Ah has been faithfully by Kim Woo Bin’s side during his grueling battle with nasopharyngeal cancer, even when he once received a poor prognosis, and the couple has overcome those difficulties together. Before their wedding, they also made generous donations to support underserved communities. According to their agency AM Entertainment, the couple has donated a total of KRW 300 million to organizations including the Hallym Burn Foundation, Asan Medical Center in Seoul and Good Friends, a peace, human rights and refugee support center founded by Venerable Pomnyun.
Their wedding was not only a celebration of love but also a powerful testament to loyalty, resilience and friendships that stand the test of time.
