Girl's Day's Bang Min-ah Wins Best New Actress at DIMF Musical Awards

Actress Bang Min-ah, a former member of the K-pop girl group Girl's Day, is celebrating a double milestone. Fresh off her 2025 wedding, she has now added a best new actress trophy to her list of career firsts.

Bang shared the news on her social media, posting a series of photos alongside a message to fans. "I originally went to DIMF just to enjoy it, but I ended up receiving an unexpected gift," she wrote, referring to the Daegu International Musical Festival.

She continued, "I was already so happy to be part of the musical 'Maybe Happy Ending,' and I never dreamed I would also receive a gift as big as a best new actress award. I sincerely thank everyone who loved Claire and everyone who helped bring this work to life." She added, "It became a day I will remember for the rest of my life. I will keep taking steady steps forward as an actress."

In the photos, Bang wears a blue beaded dress and holds her trophy with a bright smile. The dress, finished with shimmering detail, and her elegant hairstyle brought a polished touch to the ceremony.

Bang married actor On Joo-wan in 2025. The two first crossed paths on the 2016 drama "Beautiful Gong Shim" and reconnected five years later while working together on the musical "Those Days," which is when they reportedly began dating.
