The monk revealed that Shin Min Ah carried sacks of rice up the mountain to pray for Kim Woo Bin.

Three days after Kim Woo Bin and Shin Min Ah 's wedding, a lecture by Zen master Beopryun , who also officiated the couple's wedding, caused a stir on social media. Many were surprised by Shin Min Ah's actions.

According to Nate, it was Kim Woo Bin who invited Zen master Beopryun to officiate at his wedding. Not only did the Zen master lead the ceremony, but he also served as a vital source of spiritual support, accompanying the actor throughout his treatment for nasopharyngeal cancer. This special connection meant that the Zen master's speech at the wedding was not simply a congratulatory message, but carried a profound and meaningful significance.

In his speech, Zen master Beopryun began by recalling his acquaintance with Kim Woo Bin and Shin Min Ah. He spoke highly of Shin Min Ah, calling her a warm and kind-hearted person. The Zen master revealed that over 10 years ago, the actress regularly participated in activities helping underprivileged children, quietly doing charity work without fanfare. Regarding Kim Woo Bin, he mentioned the time when the actor faced a major health crisis, confronting challenges and anxieties.

In particular, the story of Shin Min Ah carrying rice offerings on her head, undeterred by the long journey, climbing the mountain to pray before the statue of Kannon Bodhisattva at the summit of Namsan Mountain in Gyeongju, moved many people deeply. According to the Zen master, after that period, Kim Woo Bin gradually recovered his health and returned to his life and career: "Today, you two hold hands, promising to live together for the rest of your lives through marriage. That is truly the result of a profound karmic connection."

Besides offering blessings, Zen master Beopryun also advised the couple on married life. He emphasized that living together is not easy, as differences in viewpoints will always exist, leading to conflicts. According to him, spouses should not only seek warmth from relying on each other but also respect each other's personal freedom, considering it the foundation for a lasting relationship.

The Zen master likened marriage not to the union of two incomplete halves, but to "the meeting of two whole people." From this, he expressed his wish that, even if for some reason the couple were to separate, each person could still stand firm as an independent entity, without suffering from the feeling of losing their "other half": "I hope this will be a marriage that is not binding, but one that makes both partners freer."

According to the Zen master, many people mistakenly think love is liking, but that liking is sometimes just lust. When feelings fade, they can turn into dislike or even hatred. Even in a marriage, each person still has their own thoughts, feelings, and beliefs. Acknowledging differences is a form of respect, and understanding is essential on that foundation. He warned that love without understanding can become violent, and even parental love can sometimes hurt children.

Kim Woo Bin and Shin Min Ah are known to be one of the most admired couples in the Korean entertainment industry. The couple met after working together on a commercial project in 2015 and publicly announced their relationship in July of the same year. To date, they have been together for a decade but have kept their private lives discreet. In particular, Shin Min Ah's quiet support during Kim Woo Bin's treatment for nasopharyngeal cancer in 2017 has further increased public appreciation for their relationship.
