Shin Dong-wook (Korean: 신동욱; born September 14, 1982), birth name Shin Hwa-shik, is a South Korean actor. He is best known for his leading roles in Soulmate and Cloud Stairs (both in 2006), and his supporting role in War of Money (2007).[1][2]
In November 2016, Shin published his first novel, Writing, Space Journal about a man in a space elevator construction project that drifts into the galaxy, a love story between a cranky genius businessperson and a genius theoretical physicist.[3] Soon after that, he appeared on TV for the first time in 6 years in a short video.[4][unreliable source?]
After a seven year hiatus in May 2017, Shin made his acting comeback with a supporting role in the drama The Guardians, in which he took a role of a Catholic priest.[5][6] Later that year he was cast in the police procedural drama Live as a policeman.[7]
In 2018, Shin took a main role in the romance drama Dae Jang Geum Is Watching alongside Kwon Yu-ri.[8][9]
Personal life
Shin stayed out of the public eye for 6 years, since 2011, when he was discharged early from mandatory military service upon diagnosis of a rare condition, complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS), a chronic disease that causes extreme bouts of pain without a known cause or cure.[10][11] On May 24, 2017, Shin appeared as a guest in the Radio Star Episode 528 and assured his illness is under control.[12][unreliable source?]
In July 2018, Shin's agency confirmed that he is in a relationship with a Korean traditional medicine doctor who is nine years his junior who has been a long term fan of his.[13]
