[edit] Career

Shin Mina debuted as a model for KiKi Magazine[1] and has since appeared in many commercial and films advertisements, becoming one of the most in-demand commercial and films endorsers in South Korea.

Notable among her forays into branded entertainment is the 2008 multi-episode Summer Days opposite Hyun Bin and Ryu Seung-beom for LG Xnote featuring music by Yoo Hee-Yeol,[2] as well as Friends & Love, a movie-style extended advertisement for Giordano in 2011 costarring Jung Woo-sung and So Ji-sub.[3]

In 2008, Shin became the first Asian celebrity to do a photoshoot with a Calvin Klein model. The spread with Jamie Dornan was shot in Milan, Italy, and published in the September 2009 issue of Elle Korea.[4]

In 2011, she was selected as the first Asian model for a DIY project with American clothing brand Rag & Bone. Other models chosen included Miranda Kerr, Carolyn Murphy and Karolina Kurkova.[5][6]

A performing arts major at Dongguk University, Shin has also appeared in numerous K-Pop music videos, contributed her vocals to several singles and soundtracks, and has published a travel book titled Mina's French Diary.[7][8]

Despite her many activities, Shin considers acting her primary vocation, starring in numerous films and TV dramas.
