According to MK, the couple's wedding photoshoot took place on the day Seoul received its first snowfall of the season. A staff member recalled the day being very cold, but the romantic snowy backdrop transformed the scenes into something cinematic. The staff member shared, "Suddenly, I thought, 'these two will be happy forever'".
The couple first met in 2015 while filming an advertisement. While they seldom appeared together publicly at entertainment events, fans occasionally captured candid photos of them dining or traveling. Their relationship faced a major challenge in 2017 when Kim Woo Bin was diagnosed with nasopharyngeal cancer. During his treatment, Shin Min Ah remained a constant source of care and encouragement, supporting him through the difficult period.

He previously shared in an interview his desire for a marriage as strong and happy as his parents'.
Many of the bride and groom's colleagues attended the ceremony, including: Kim Tae Ri, Ahn Bo Hyun, Uhm Jung Hwa, Bae Jeong Nam, V (from BTS), Gong Hyo Jin, and Lee Se Young.
