Shin Se-kyung (born July 29, 1990) is a South Korean actress. After first appearing on a Seo Taiji album cover when she was eight years old, Shin's acting breakthrough came in 2009 with the sitcom High Kick Through the Roof. Since then she has landed leading roles in film and television, including Hindsight and Deep Rooted Tree.

Career

Shin Se-kyung made her entertainment debut at eight years old in 1998 when she was featured on the cover and poster for Seo Taiji's solo album Take Five.[1][2] As a child actress, she also appeared on children's show Ppo Ppo Ppo ("Kiss Kiss Kiss") and 2005 historical drama Toji ("Land").

After a small part in My Little Bride,[3] she subsequently had starring roles in Cinderella,[2][4][5][6] Acoustic and the segment "Believe in the Moment" in Five Senses of Eros, as well as a well-received turn as the younger version of Princess Cheonmyeong in Queen Seondeok.

But 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.[7][8] In 2010 she filmed a seven-episode arc for the reality show series I'm Real which profiled her everyday life while vacationing in Hawaii.

Building on her sitcom fame, the actress was signed on to numerous television commercials and print advertisements.[9] Lead roles in high-profile acting projects followed, among them film noir Hindsight with Song Kang-ho,[10][11][12] the highly rated historical drama Deep Rooted Tree with Jang Hyuk and Han Suk-kyu,[13] and aerial action film R2B: Return to Base with Rain.[14][15]

After her 2012 TV series Fashion King wrapped,[16][17] Shin released her first digital single, "You Were Sweet," which she recorded to promote a coffee franchise for which she models.[18][19][20] A former singer trainee in middle school,[21] Shin has also contributed songs to the soundtrack of Hindsight,[22] the charity album Love Tree Project, and did her own singing in showcase piece Acoustic.[23] In 2012, she recorded a Christmas carol duet with Epitone Project.[24][25][26]

Shin returned to television in the 2013 melodrama When a Man Falls in Love opposite Song Seung-heon, but she received criticism from viewers.[27][28][29][30]

Personal life

On October 20, 2010, Shin and popular boy band SHINee member Jonghyun were spotted dating by a local news outlet; their agencies confirmed the relationship on October 26th.[31][32] After nine months of dating, Shin and Jonghyun broke up in June 2011, citing their busy schedules.[33]
