In an announcement that caught fans completely off guard, Girl’s Day vocalist Bang Min-ah and actor On Joo Wan have revealed they are getting married later this year. The unexpected news dropped on July 4, sparking a mix of surprise and excitement across social media, especially since the couple had never publicly confirmed their relationship.
Both Min-ah and Wan’s agencies confirmed the upcoming nuptials with separate official statements. SM C&C, representing Min-ah, shared, “We sincerely appreciate your warm wishes for the couple as they begin this beautiful new chapter. Our heartfelt congratulations go out to them.” On Ju Wan’s agency, Haewadal Entertainment, echoed similar sentiments, confirming the two have been in a serious relationship and will be tying the knot in a private ceremony this November.
From Co-stars to Life Partners
Min-ah, 30, and On Ju Wan, 41, first crossed paths on the set of the 2016 romantic comedy Beautiful Gong Shim, and later reunited in 2021 for the musical The Days. Although sparks reportedly flew during their projects, the couple chose to keep their relationship entirely out of the public eye.
It wasn’t until the wedding announcement that fans learned about their long-standing romance. According to sources cited by Koreaboo, the pair have been dating since 2024, and those close to them within the industry were already aware of their connection. A mutual acquaintance revealed, “Their bond grew even stronger last year when On Ju Wan stood by Min-ah’s side during the passing of her father. Their deep affection for each other led them to make the decision to marry.”
Private November Wedding Planned
As per the agencies, Min-ah and On Ju Wan’s wedding ceremony will be a quiet, intimate event, attended only by close family and friends. They’ve asked for fans’ understanding in keeping the celebration low-key.
With this upcoming wedding, Min-ah becomes the second member of Girl’s Day to tie the knot—following Sojin, who married actor Lee Dong-Ha in 2023. Min-ah debuted with the beloved K-pop group in 2010 and has since built a successful acting career. On Ju Wan, meanwhile, is recognized for his roles in The Blade and Petal, The Penthouse: War in Life, The Taste of Money, and more.
As fans continue to shower the couple with love online, their quiet yet enduring romance is a reminder that sometimes, the most beautiful love stories are the ones that bloom away from the spotlight.
