Back in August, actor Kim Dong Wook personally announced that he would be tying the knot this winter.
After the announcement, Kim Dong Wook's agency, KeyEast, stated that the actor will have a private wedding on December 22. They mentioned that Kim Dong Wook's fiancée is not a celebrity but is admired for her beauty and personality.
On December 22, Kim Dong Wook's wedding photos were shared on social media and shed light on his wife's identity.
It was revealed that Kim Dong Wook's wife was a well-known SM Entertainment trainee named Stella, who had garnered much attention in the past.
Stella had gained much attention for being a former trainee of Girls' Generation until she decided to leave that path behind after her parents prevented her from officially signing with the label.
After the wedding photos were released, Korean netizens expressed shock in a popular online community.
They commented, "Kim Dong Wook's wife is Stella??" "Omg I knew her," "She was so popular," "This is so crazy, I can't believe he's marrying Stella," "I can't believe Kim Dong Wook's bride is Stella," "What in the world?" "Everyone who knows who she is are surprised," "it's been a while since we saw Stella," "Wow, congrats to the couple," "She's so pretty," "Wow, what a small world," and "I thought she was in NY."

Anyone who followed kpop during SNSD's era will know there were dozens and dozens of "I almost/could have debuted' in SNSD from various idols/actresses/models/etc...
Stella Kim is really the true one though. She was in the final debut group. SM had drawn up contracts for the members to sign. She was still a minor and her parents refused to sign it for her and wanted her to go to college.
