'Kill It' winner Kim Na-ra to marry partner after eight years

Fashion creator Kim Na-ra released wedding photos on the 20th ahead of her ceremony with her partner of eight years. The couple, who previously postponed wedding plans due to economic reasons, will marry in ten days after signing a contract for a house to live in together.

Kim Na-ra, the winner of the fashion creator survival program 'Kill It', has released wedding photos just ten days before her wedding to her partner of eight years. In the photos, Kim Na-ra, dressed in a pure white gown with short blonde hair, sits alongside her partner, who is dressed in black, capturing a special moment following their long relationship. "I've truly become a bride," Kim Na-ra shared, expressing her excitement ahead of the ceremony.

On the 20th, Kim Na-ra posted several wedding photos to her personal social media account, stating, "Our wedding, decided after 8 years of dating, is ten days away." She added that thanks to a brand that welcomed her wedding news, she was able to take her first wedding photos as a collection, noting that even the heavy rain made the moment "romantic."

In the released photos, Kim Na-ra wears a white, off-the-shoulder dress paired with a long, intricately embroidered veil. Her short blonde hairstyle adds a sophisticated touch to her elegant yet unique bridal look. The images show the couple sitting together on a sofa and laughing while sharing a large veil, presenting natural expressions and a comfortable atmosphere that departs from traditional wedding photography.

Kim Na-ra expressed her affection for the dress, describing it as a design that balances classic charm with her signature elegance and glamour. She noted her preference for the mermaid fit that accentuates her silhouette and the natural draping at the waist, as well as the dramatic size and pearl-embroidered details of the veil. The photos reflect the process of realizing her dream bridal look ahead of the long-awaited wedding.

The couple's unique matchbox-shaped wedding invitations also drew attention. The exterior of the invitations captures the time they have spent together and the feelings that led to their decision to marry. Kim Na-ra expressed that after signing a contract for a house to live in together, she felt as though they were already married, having lived like a married couple for a long time without a formal ceremony. This suggests that the depth of their daily life and relationship preceded the formal wedding ceremony. Acquaintances expressed surprise at the unconventional design.

The couple's wedding plans began to take shape through Kim Na-ra's public remarks after winning 'Kill It' this past July. Upon her victory, she expressed gratitude to her girlfriend, whom she described as her best partner and manager. She revealed that they had previously postponed the wedding for economic reasons but expressed a strong desire to finally hold the ceremony.

At the time, Kim Na-ra's partner commented on the post, "You worked hard! Should we book the venue?" to which Kim Na-ra replied, "Somewhere with many guest seats." Having naturally discussed marriage even while celebrating her win, the two are now preparing for their actual wedding. The wedding photos carry special meaning as the plans, once delayed due to financial circumstances, finally become a reality.

Having built a life together over eight years, Kim Na-ra and her partner have already become familiar companions living together, but they are now opening a new chapter through their wedding. Kim Na-ra's comment, "I've truly become a bride," reflects the emotion of a long-held wish becoming reality. With ten days remaining until the wedding, attention is focused on how the two will promise their future to one another.
