Shin Mina is a Colorful Vibrant Doll for Marie Claire Korea

A Koala's Playground Posted on January 11, 2020 by ockoalaJanuary 10, 2020
Woman with playful expression and red lipstick.

Shin Mina has one of the most distinctive faces among her fellow K-actresses, the wide-set eyes, deep dimples, and round smile. I love her twenty year career trajectory as a rookie getting her start thanks to her pretty face and improving as an actress to the point the early days criticism are long in the rear view mirror. She’s also … Continue reading →

Two smiling women in stylish outfits.

Holy two leading actresses of the same generation for the price of one, one critically acclaimed screenwriter that it. Probably only Noh Hee Kyung can lure both Han Ji Min and Shin Mina to join her drama and it’s going to be a toss up which lady I want to have a love line with the two male leads Jo … Continue reading →

It’s been a comparatively quiet project year for K-actress Shin Mina but she’s gearing up for her comeback with the movie Diva. The title turns into an English pun of sorts as the movie is set in the world of Diving hence she’s a diving diva har har.

Leave it to K-actress Shin Mina to make me think she simultaneously looks beautiful while horribly dressed. Maybe 2017 fall fashion is just going over my head but Shin Mina’s black turtleneck with hand ruffles paired with neon pink high waisted crop trousers at the Roger Vivier event in Seoul was basically boring on top and hot mess on bottom. … Continue reading →
