On December 20, the highly anticipated wedding of Kim Woo Bin and Shin Min Ah took place at the luxurious Shilla Hotel in Seoul. With a guest list filled with top-tier celebrities including V (BTS), Lee Byung Hun, Lee Kwang Soo, Gong Hyo Jin, and Nam Joo Hyuk, fans were buzzing about every detail — from the stunning visuals to the exclusive guest gifts.
But among all the excitement, fans quickly noticed one surprising absence: Lee Jong Suk, a close friend of the groom and a co-star of the bride. Given his longstanding friendship with Kim Woo Bin and his recent collaboration with Shin Min Ah in the high-profile drama The Remarried Empress, netizens were left wondering why he missed such a major life event.
Media investigations revealed that Lee Jong Suk was unable to attend the wedding due to a prior commitment — a fan meeting in Hong Kong scheduled for the same day, December 20. Paparazzi even captured him at Incheon Airport on December 19, departing for the overseas event.
Despite the disappointment, fans acknowledged that the fan event had likely been planned months in advance, making it nearly impossible to reschedule. His absence, though noted, was not due to any personal rift.
Lee Jong Suk and Kim Woo Bin first formed a strong bond while filming the hit drama School 2013. Their closeness sparked rumors of a romantic relationship, which were later addressed by Kim Woo Bin himself, stating that “Friendship is also a form of love.”
Over time, Kim Woo Bin publicly confirmed his relationship with Shin Min Ah, while Lee Jong Suk began dating singer-actress IU, putting most speculation to rest.
Still, their bromance continues to be fondly remembered by fans, making Lee Jong Suk’s absence at the wedding all the more poignant.
Whether due to scheduling conflicts or simply bad timing, Lee Jong Suk’s absence from Kim Woo Bin’s wedding didn’t go unnoticed — but it certainly didn’t diminish the love and legacy of their friendship, which spans over a decade of shared milestones and career highs.
