Shin Min Ah is set to return to the screen with the highly anticipated fantasy romance series ‘The Remarried Empress.’
On July 27, Disney+ unveiled the first teaser poster for ‘The Remarried Empress’ (written by Yeo Ji Na and Hyun Chung Yeol, directed by Jo Soo Won).
“I Accept the Divorce, And I Request Approval for My Remarriage”
Based on the hit web novel of the same name, ‘The Remarried Empress’ follows the story of Navier (played by Shin Min Ah), the flawless empress of the Eastern Empire. After Emperor Sovieshu (played by Ju Ji Hoon) falls in love with the former runaway slave Rashta (portrayed by Lee Se Young) and demands a divorce, Navier accepts his decision—but on one condition: that she be granted permission to remarry Heinrey (Lee Jong Suk), the prince of the Western Kingdom. The series unfolds as an epic fantasy romance filled with political intrigue, betrayal, and love.
The newly released teaser poster captures Navier standing confidently in the center of a solemn courtroom. Beside her is the striking tagline, “I accept the divorce, and I request approval for my remarriage,” an iconic line from the original novel that has become one of the franchise’s most memorable quotes among fans.
Shin Min Ah Embodies Empress Navier’s Strength
Fresh off acclaimed performances in the dramas ‘Karma’ and ‘No Gain No Love’, as well as the film ‘Eyes’, Shin Min Ah takes on the title role of Navier. Her character refuses to be broken by her husband’s betrayal and divorce, instead choosing to forge her own path and reclaim her destiny. With her signature elegance, commanding presence, and emotionally nuanced acting, Shin Min Ah is expected to bring Navier’s dignity, strength, and leadership to life.
A Star-Studded Adaptation of a Global Hit
‘The Remarried Empress’ is adapted from the globally popular intellectual property that includes a webtoon with 2.97 billion cumulative views as of July 2026. The series marks Disney+’s first Korean fantasy romance original and has generated significant anticipation ahead of its release thanks to its star-studded cast, which includes Shin Min Ah, Ju Ji Hoon, Lee Jong Suk, and Lee Se Young.
‘The Remarried Empress’ is scheduled to premiere on Disney+ this fall.
