"Min-Ah is very bright and exceeded expectations."

Another pair of actor couples has been formed. Min-Ah, from the group Girl's Day, and actor On Juwan are set to tie the knot this November. They first connected through the drama "Beautiful Gong Shim" and developed their relationship into lovers in the musical "Those Days," now opening a new chapter as a married couple. Above all, if the imagination from 10 years ago becomes a reality, it is drawing attention as it completes a movie-like love story.

On Juwan's agency, Haewadal Entertainment, officially stated on the 4th, "After a serious relationship, On Juwan has decided to spend a lifetime together with Ms. Bang Min-Ah this November. We ask for warm blessings and support for the future of the two as they begin a second life as a couple."

Min-Ah's agency, SM C&C, also stated, "Bang Min-Ah and On Juwan have nurtured their love from a long-standing relationship and have decided to spend a lifetime together this November." They added, "We would appreciate warm interest and congratulations for the two as they face another beginning in life."

With this, On Juwan and Min-Ah have announced the birth of an actor couple, overcoming a 10-year age gap. Min-Ah becomes the second member from Girl's Day to join the ranks of married women, following Sojin.

The marriage of On Juwan and Min-Ah is being blessed as the fruit of a long relationship. The two worked together in the 2016 drama "Beautiful Gong Shim." They maintained a steady friendship while collaborating on works, and after the drama ended, Min-Ah appeared on the radio hosted by On Juwan.

They reunited in the 2021 musical "Those Days" and are reported to have developed into lovers through this opportunity. After the "Those Days" performance, their relationship became closer, and during Min-Ah's father’s funeral last year, On Juwan reportedly stayed by her side throughout the mourning period to comfort her.

Although the turning point to becoming lovers was "Those Days," the two have maintained a good relationship since their time on "Beautiful Gong Shim." On Juwan highly appreciated Min-Ah's passion, who is also a junior actress.

During an interview after the conclusion of the drama, On Juwan said, "Min-Ah is very bright. In the beginning, I wondered whether she had the strength to carry the story as the protagonist, but seeing Gong Shim captivate the audience made me realize she exceeded my expectations. She was a friend trying her first lead role, and it seems she captured the character well."

As their connection through the drama continued, Min-Ah appeared as a guest on On Juwan's KBS radio show Cool FM "On Juwan's Music Show" in July 2017, certifying their friendship. On Juwan introduced her as the "first female guest," and the two engaged in delightful banter during the broadcast. After the marriage news broke, an episode where Min-Ah imagines marrying On Juwan in "Beautiful Gong Shim" has drawn interest.

Ultimately, Min-Ah and On Juwan have formed a new bond as a couple from their long-standing relationship of 10 years. There is a continuous wave of support and congratulations for the two, who quietly fostered their love without any dating rumors, culminating in their marriage.
