Modeling[edit]

Shin began her career as a model for the teen magazine KiKi in 1998, under her birth name, Yang Min-a.[6] Without her knowledge, her friend applied her to the magazine's model competition, where she got first place.[7] She first made a name for herself starring in commercials for brands such as Samsung[8] and Korea Telecom 018, in which her line "love moves about" gained popularity amongst Korean youth.[7] Along with Kim Hyo-jin, Kim Min-hee, and Yang Mi-ra [ko], she was considered one of the "four teenage commercial stars,"[8] and a representative of the "N generation" (a Korean analogue to the millennial generation).[9] She has since become one of the most in-demand and highest paid commercial endorsers in South Korea.[10] Notable among her forays into branded entertainment is the 2008 multi-episode Summer Days opposite Hyun Bin and Ryoo Seung-bum for LG Xnote featuring music by You Hee-yeol,[11] as well as Friends & Love, a movie-style extended advertisement for Giordano in 2011 costarring Jung Woo-sung and So Ji-sub.[12]

Regarding it, she stated to The Dong-a Ilbo: "It was a completely different role than my regular image [...] at first, it was awkward, but I'm confident I won't get criticized for 'clumsy acting.'"[24]
