Career

Shin was born in Seoul, South Korea, and competed at the 2014 Winter Olympics for South Korea. She teamed with Kim Ji-sun, Lee Seul-bee, Gim Un-chi and Um Min-ji in the women's tournament. She began the tournament playing second, but ended up playing only four of the nine games, as the South Korean team went 3-6 to finish in a tie for 8th. She curled 73%, which was 9th out of the 10 seconds.[2][3]

Shin made her World Curling Championships debut in 2002 as second for Kim Mi-yeon. It was the first time the South Korean team qualified for a World Championship. They finished with a winless 0–9 record. In 2009, the Kim Mi-yeon team went 3–6. Her other three appearances were with the Kim Ji-sun rink with whom she went to the Olympics with. Their best finish was fourth place finishes at both the 2012 and 2014 Championships.[1]

As of 2014, Shin has participated in 10 Pacific-Asia Curling Championships, winning the event on three occasions.[1]
