2009–2014: Rising popularity and transitioning roles

Shin failed to gain a large following until her breakthrough role as a housemaid on the second season of the popular TV sitcom High Kick! in 2009.[12][13] Building on her sitcom fame, Shin signed on to numerous television commercials and print advertisement and even made her as one of the most sought celebrity endorser.[14] Lead roles in high-profile acting projects followed, among them film noir Hindsight with Song Kang-ho,[15][16][17] the highly rated historical drama Deep Rooted Tree with Jang Hyuk and Han Suk-kyu,[18] and aerial action film R2B: Return to Base with Rain.[19][20]

However, Shin's next project Fashion King (2012) was poorly received by audiences, particularly its controversial ending.[21][22] Shin then released her first digital single, "You Were Sweet," which she recorded to promote a coffee franchise she models for.[23][24][25] A former singer trainee in middle school,[26] Shin has also contributed songs to the soundtrack of Hindsight,[27] the charity album Love Tree Project, and did her own singing in showcase piece Acoustic.[9] In 2012, she recorded a Christmas carol duet with Epitone Project.[28][29][30]
