On November 25, Shin Min-a appeared in a video titled “December Bride: The wedding dress Shin Min-a wants to wear the most“on the YouTube channel of Harper’s Bazaar Korea.
In the video, Shin Min-a revisited her fashion timeline and candidly shared her special experience since filming Diva.
In the film she played the role of a professional diver and appeared in numerous swimsuit scenes. He confessed “The swimsuit scenes were much more difficult than expected. Honestly, it wasn’t the shape or fit of the swimsuit that bothered me, it was more about how I posed and adapted underwater.”
He added with a laugh, “It was so scary, I don’t think I could ever do it again,” remembering the nerve-wracking experience.
She also gave some handy style advice on swimsuit fit: “Real divers cut the leg line high around the hips to make the legs look longer. But for me, it felt a little fatiguing, so I wore it slightly lower. If you have wider hips like me, wearing it lower looks more natural.”
Shin Min-a, widely known for her charming figure, was once nicknamed the original “Bagel Girl” (baby face + charming body) in the early 2010s. Her honest observations resonated with fans, revealing the reality behind the “actress’ perfect body” and highlighting the thoughtfulness behind her style.
Her preparation for the role, including styling and physical training, also drew attention to her image as a hard-working actress.
Divareleased in 2020, it is a psychological thriller in which Shin Min-a played elite diver Lee Young. She portrayed the character’s internal collapse amidst intense psychological pressure and competition, earning critical acclaim and a Best Actress nomination at the Blue Dragon Film Awards that year.
Meanwhile, Shin Min-a and actor Kim Woo-bin, who publicly confirmed their relationship in July 2015, will get married next month on December 20 after 10 years of dating.
