Kim Na-ra, winner of the tvN fashion survival program "Kill It," is set to marry her same-sex partner after an eight-year relationship.

Kim announced the news Tuesday on social media, sharing a photo of herself in a wedding dress with the caption "My first bridal moment."

"Our wedding, decided after eight years of dating, is 10 days away," she wrote, adding that H&M had welcomed the news and given her the opportunity to take her first wedding photos in pieces from the ELIE SAAB H&M collection.

The photos show Kim and her partner beaming beneath a large shared veil. "It was pouring rain — but it turned out romantic," she said of the shoot.

Kim, who works as a visual director, rose to wider public attention after winning "Kill It," which ended last July. She drew particular notice during the finale when, accepting the top prize, she revealed her plans to marry her same-sex partner.

"I am so grateful to my girlfriend, my greatest partner and manager," she said at the time. "I want to finally hold the wedding we kept putting off because of money."
