Beautiful Gong Shim co-stars Girl's Day's Minah and On Ju Wan announce November wedding plans, share secret love story
In a completely unexpected turn of events, Girl's Day's Minah and actor On Ju Wan are set to marry this coming November. The news broke on July 4, 2025, through MyDaily. It cites an entertainment insider who confirmed the couple's plans to tie the knot later this year. Shortly after reports surfaced, both agencies confirmed the news. The November wedding will be a private ceremony attended only by close family and friends. Representatives from both sides also stated that Minah and On Ju Wan plan to continue their acting careers following their marriage. The announcement came as a major surprise to fans and industry watchers alike, as there had been no prior indication that the two stars were even dating. Their relationship had remained strictly under the radar, until now. Minah and On Ju Wan first worked together on the SBS drama Beautiful Gong Shim back in 2016. At the time, they were simply colleagues and showed no signs of romantic involvement. However, fate seemed to intervene years later. In 2021, the two were reunited when they both joined the cast of the musical The Days. Working together closely in a live performance setting, their relationship reportedly deepened. While fans saw their chemistry on stage, few would have guessed what was unfolding behind the scenes. Support through difficult times A significant moment in their bond reportedly came when Minah faced the heartbreaking loss of her father in 2024. On Ju Wan is said to have stood by her side throughout the funeral and grieving process, quietly offering emotional support. According to one source familiar with the couple, 'On Ju Wan was very supportive when Minah was going through difficult times. They've been dating for quite a while, and with their deep affection for each other, they decided to get married this winter.' Insiders claim that the two have been together privately for quite some time. And those in the entertainment industry were aware of their romance as early as last year. A shared passion Another entertainment insider noted that the couple's mutual dedication to acting played a big part in strengthening their relationship. 'Both of them are deeply passionate about acting, which helped them connect through shared interests,' the source explained. 'Having spent many years in the entertainment world, they've become people who can truly rely on each other, and that trust led to marriage.' Their shared experiences in the entertainment world helped lay a strong foundation of trust. It has now led them to commit to spending the rest of their lives together. Fans react News of the upcoming wedding has quickly gone viral, with fans flooding social media with congratulatory messages and expressions of joy. Many have shared clips from Beautiful Gong Shim. They joke that their favorite drama couple is now becoming a real-life love story. Despite keeping their romance private for so long, Minah and On Ju Wan's journey has deeply touched fans. It proves that some of the most meaningful love stories happen away from the spotlight.

Fan-favourite The Traitors star lands dream BBC Radio 1 job in shake-up
Minah Shannon was one of the most beloved Traitors in the 2025 season, and now fans are set to hear even more from her! The star, 29, was considered the 'best traitor of all time' during her stint on the BBC show earlier this year. The former call centre manager from Liverpool was the perfect game-player as she intelligently manoeuvred herself out of tricky conversations and sewed seeds of doubt in other players. She was a fabulous traitor, until she recruited Charlotte Berman and found herself quickly rumbled by the other players, leaving the show with just the final episodes looming. Despite missing out on the jackpot, she was still a lauded player who was adored by viewers, and now fans can hear even more from her! Minah is set to join BBC Radio One and will be taking over the Friday Early Breakfast slot on a monthly rotation. From tomorrow, Friday, May 2, the TV star will co-host the show alongside Radio 1's Nat O'Leary from 5am to 7am throughout the month. Minah expressed her excitement to the MailOnline and added that she felt that working alongside Nat felt like it was 'meant to be'.

Taking over the slot in June will be rising radio talent Lauren Redfern as the BBC continues to shake things up with presenters. Minah isn't the only Traitors star from her season to find themselves a radio gig. Alexander Dragonetti found a role as the host of a five-part series on Classic FM to host a new five-part series, which began in March. The series titled Trust Me, It's A Classic, saw Alexander celebrate some of the most famous pieces of classical music, while having a chat with listeners about what the pieces meant to him personally. At the time of the announcement, the star said: 'I'm a big fan of Classic FM – so it's an honour to be part of such an iconic station. I love how it makes classical music so accessible, including people like me who are still learning! More Trending 'There's a saying that 'music isn't meant to be heard – it's meant to be felt'. I'd like to share the music that really makes me feel – happiness, joy, sadness, reflection – and see if it does the same for you.' Since The Traitors season three aired in January this year, Minah has spoken about how her two-year-old has helped her feel grounded, as her daughter couldn't care less about her time in the spotlight. '[Luna] doesn't really get it, even I'll show her something that I've done online and she just doesn't care, she wants to listen to Cocomelon or watch a Disney film,' she shared to MailOnline. 'A few weeks back, when the show was on, I was watching Lisa and Alex on Lorraine and there was a clip of us at the round table and I said 'Luna look, it's mummy on the TV' and she pointed and went 'there's Leanne!' and I thought 'she doesn't even care that I'm on the telly!''
