Former K-pop girl group Nine Muses member Jo Gabin (조가빈), also known by her stage name Jo Sojin (조소진), recently announced her marriage to musical actor Hwang Min-soo (황민수). The couple, who dated for approximately four years, officially tied the knot. The wedding ceremony was attended by family and close friends, and notably, several former Nine Muses members were present, taking the stage to perform a congratulatory song, creating a deeply moving atmosphere.
Jo and Hwang held their wedding on the 4th, witnessed by family and close friends. Given Jo Gabin's long history with Nine Muses, many of her former bandmates made a special effort to attend and celebrate this new chapter in her life.
One of the most memorable moments was when the Nine Muses members personally prepared a congratulatory song for Jo Gabin, choosing to perform their group's classic hit, "Drama."
Jo Gabin joined Nine Muses in 2015 and participated in the promotions for "Drama." Approximately 11 years later, the song she once sang and danced to with her groupmates became a special wedding blessing performed by her former bandmates, making the moment profoundly meaningful for her.
As the members performed, their heartfelt wishes for Jo Gabin were palpable, with some even tearing up from the depth of their emotions. Member Kim Jo (김조) shared photos from the wedding on her personal social media, showing her visibly moved and crying at the event, which also brought tears to the eyes of many fans.
Beyond the surprise from her bandmates, the groom, Hwang Min-soo, also prepared a congratulatory song, serenading his bride, Jo Gabin, on the spot, filling the air with sweet romance.
After the wedding, Jo Gabin also shared her joy with fans via social media, posting wedding photos and videos taken by friends and family, allowing everyone to relive this important life moment with her.
The couple's wedding news first broke in August of this year. At the time, Jo Gabin personally revealed that she decided to marry Hwang Min-soo, whom she had dated for about four years, because he always sensitively recognized her emotions and offered warm support during difficult times. Jo Gabin once described Hwang Min-soo as "someone who carefully looks after my feelings and gently embraces me when I'm struggling." She further stated that she gradually became convinced that "as long as I am with him, I will have the strength to navigate life's future," leading her to decide to marry him.
Hwang Min-soo also openly spoke about Jo Gabin, expressing that she always complements his shortcomings and stands by him no matter what happens. He also stated his hope that they could achieve their dreams together and walk through life side-by-side.
Born in 1991, the couple, both the same age, have continuously developed their careers in their respective fields. Jo Gabin debuted in 2014 with the project group Nasty Nasty, joined Nine Muses the following year, and after her group activities concluded, she expanded into acting and modeling.
Hwang Min-soo officially entered the entertainment industry in 2015 through the musical "Liar Time." He has since appeared in numerous musicals, including "Vincent van Gogh," "Sejong, 1446," "The Little Prince," "The Fiction," and "Paganini," consistently building his portfolio in the theater world.
Notably, with Jo Gabin's marriage, Nine Muses now has another married member. Following Hyuna (현아), Sungah (성아), Minha (민하), and Kim Jo, Jo Gabin officially joins the ranks of the married members. The groupmates, who fought side-by-side for many years, personally took to the wedding stage to perform, offering their most sincere blessings and witnessing each other's significant life milestones.
