Having recently tied the knot with her long-time partner Kim Woobin after a beautiful 10-year relationship, Shin Minah's take on dating hits a little differently.
On the 19th, Shin Minah made a guest appearance on Lee Youngji's Youtube show 'No Prepare' and dropped some dating advice that is currently going viral.
In the video Lee Youngji asked her, "How do you actually know when you've found the person you want to marry?" As covered in Sports Seoul, Shin Minah suggested that people should probably delay marriage, saying, "Personally, I think the later you get married, the better." She clarified, "I don't mean that you should date lots of people," and added:
"You need enough time to look closely within yourself when you're in a relationship. It's important to learn who you are and how you react in different relationships."
Shin Minah also shared her honest thoughts on how to judge a romantic partner. She said, "Because of your affection, you tend to just look the other way and ignore it. But deep down, you already know. Often, you've already sensed that this person may not be right for you."
She emphasized that the exact same thing also applies to friendships, noting:
"There are relationships that are enjoyable, but not comfortable. You shouldn't mistake being 'fun' for a healthy relationship."
Shin Minah also advised paying attention to how your body physically reacts to a relationship. She stated:
"If you feel physically sick or completely drained after meeting someone, it means you're trying too hard in that relationship. The person who gives you comfort and a sense of stability is ultimately the one who matters more."
Even though she is currently a newlywed, this advice comes from her experience in a long-term public relationship. As we all know, Shin Minah and Kim Woobin first went public with their relationship in 2015. When Kim Woobin began his battle with nasopharyngeal cancer in 2017, she remained right by his side, and the couple eventually got married last year.
Toward the end of the video, Lee Youngji joked, "I wish my future husband would just have 'I'm your husband' written on his forehead." Hearing this, Shin Minah laughed and said something that has resonated with so many people:
"But deep down, you already know the ones who aren't right for you, don't you?"
