Shin Min Ah started out as a model for a teen magazine in 1998. Throughout her career, she has received numerous endorsement deals from domestic and international luxury brands. According to Soompi, she earned $2.8 million in 2013 only from TV commercials.

Following the success of the drama Hometown Cha-Cha-Cha, Shin Min Ah was officially appointed Gucci’s global ambassador.

In the series of photos introducing the brand’s new global ambassador, the actress exudes elegance in classic and exquisite outfits.

In an official statement from Gucci, the Italian designer brand explains the reason behind their appointment: “Shin Min Ah’s refined style, her belief in the pursuit of diversity, and respect for self-expression fits the philosophy set forth by Gucci.”

Shin Min Ah has also collaborated with Cartier many times over the years. She modeled for the brand’s watches in the exclusive photo shoot of W Korea and Harper’s Bazaar Korea.

In 2017, she was chosen to be the face of Cartier’s Panthere de Cartier jewelry in Korea.

Her pure beauty and youthful visuals have helped Shin Min Ah become a sought-after name by several beauty brands.

Earlier this year, the star of Oh My Venus was named Givenchy Beauty’s newest muse. As reported by Allkpop, she caught the eye of Givenchy thanks to her firmly established reputation as a top actress and beauty icon in Korea.

Fans of Hometown Cha-Cha-Cha have certainly noticed Shin Min Ah’s collection of high-end handbags in the drama. A few outstanding ones are the handbags from Couronne – the brand that Kim Woo Bin’s girlfriend is an ambassador for.
