In 1998, Shin Min Ah entered the entertainment industry as a model for Kiki magazine. With a gorgeous and innocent look, she quickly attracted the attention of the public and became the representative model of many brands.

2001 marked a turning point in Shin Min Ah’s career when she officially pursued the acting path with a supporting role in the drama “Beautiful Days”. She left many impressions with the portrayal of her character and since then received many offers to star in many other projects such as Punch (2003), A Love to Kill (2005) or The Beast and the Beauty (2005).

However, it was not until 2010, when taking on the lead role of the nine-tailed fox Gumiho in the drama My Girlfriend Is a Gumiho, that the actress really blew up. The drama not only gave Shin Min Ah the chance to prove her talent, but also helped her gain a strong fan base and become an A-list actress of the Korean entertainment industry.
