On October 30th, Mainland Chinese actress Tang Wei and South Korean director Kim Tae-young, who have been married for 10 years and have a daughter, shared a heartwarming moment on social media. Tang Wei posted a photo on her Instagram to celebrate their 10th wedding anniversary as they both received nominations for the upcoming 45th Blue Dragon Film Awards in South Korea. In the photo, Tang Wei could be seen taking a picture of her husband using a phone, cleverly capturing their reflection in a mirror, creating a lovely joint portrait. Although Kim Tae-young wore a mask, his eyes were full of joy.
The 45th Blue Dragon Film Awards ceremony is scheduled for November 29th, with the list of nominees being announced on October 30th. Tang Wei received her third Best Actress nomination for her role in “Wonderland,” directed by Kim Tae-young, while Kim Tae-young himself was nominated for Best Director. Tang Wei happily shared the special “photo” of her and her husband on Instagram, expressing gratitude for their journey together in film and life over the past decade.
In the photo, Kim Tae-young was dressed in a coffee and olive green jacket, his eyes shining with a smile even behind a mask and glasses. The reflection of Tang Wei in the mirror also revealed a gentle smile as they were captured side by side.
Tang Wei first received a nomination for Best Actress at the Blue Dragon Awards in 2011 for “Late Autumn,” and won the award in 2022 for “Decision to Leave.” This time, she is competing for the award against actresses like Kim Go-eun from “Break the Silence,” Ra Mi-ran from “Citizen Doh Xi,” Jeon Do-yeon from “The Killing of a Sacred Deer,” and Goh Ah-sung from “Dislike Korea.”
At the age of 45, Tang Wei met Kim Tae-young in 2010 through their collaboration on the film “Late Autumn.” They got married in 2014 and welcomed their daughter in August 2016. Their latest project, “Wonderland,” released in June in South Korea, marks the couple’s second collaboration after “Late Autumn.” When asked about working together again, Kim Tae-young affectionately expressed how wonderful it was to see Tang Wei both on set and at home.
In recent years, Tang Wei has shone brightly in the South Korean film industry, winning multiple Best Actress awards for her role in “Decision to Leave” directed by Park Chan-wook, and becoming the first foreign actress to win the Blue Dragon Award, attracting significant attention.
In July of this year, Tang Wei and Kim Tae-young celebrated their 10th wedding anniversary. Tang Wei shared a family photo on Instagram at that time, receiving blessings from many fans. With Tang Wei posting another lovely photo with her husband as they prepare to compete for the Blue Dragon Award once again, fans are already expressing their hopes for the couple to win awards together.
