Kim Min-seo’s Marriage
On last May 17 , a wedding bell was ringing. It is because actress Kim Min-seo wed her same-aged, non-celebrity partner at a church in Seoul. The ceremony was held in the form of a service. Her close celebrity friends Choi Kang-hee and Jang Na Ra attended the nuptials.
The couple met through an acquaintance, and wed after a year of dating. The wedding was a private ceremony with just family and close friends in attendance, out of consideration for her non-celebrity husband.
Previously, Min Seo said that she’s interested in dating a man who “is mature and invites me to rely on him” in a 2014 interview. In another interview last year, she said she sometimes imagines “an untraditional wedding, like an intimate destination wedding.” She added, “When I marry someone, I want to build a family that does meaningful things together, and as a result has a positive impact on other people’s lives.”
After the wedding, Kim Min-seo will start her newlywed life in the United States where her husband works for a sports agency. She will be staying in the United States for the time being.
Take a look to this beautiful bride, Kim Min-seo, who was wearing Rosy Lovers’ wedding gown!

Congratulations to the couple!
Kim Min-seo’s Plastic Surgery
As a South Korean actress, people are wondering if she ever had plastic surgery. She has pretty features on her face, such as a nice jawline, a sharp nose, and aegyo eyes. So are you curious about that?


Looking to her teenage pictures with other members of Mint, we can see her face was already beautiful, and had the same shape. Compared to her current look, it is obvious she might not have plastic surgery before, but it is still unsure whether she had something done on her eyes, since her eyes look slightly different. Anyways, as a celebrity, she might have had some botox injections or any beauty treatment, as almost all celebrities do.
