Growing up with her father, mother, older sister, and brother, young Min-ah's journey to stardom began unexpectedly in middle school. While on a school picnic, she took a photo with friends and sent it to the teen magazine KiKi ("키키"). The simple act would change her life forever as she was soon chosen as the magazine's model.
Her career blossomed organically from there, as Min-ah first appeared in commercials and music videos. In 2001, she made her cinematic debut in the movie "Volcano High" and continued to make her mark on South Korean cinema with a role in "Madeleine" two years later.

In 2009, Shin Min-ah embarked on an exciting new venture with the project "Miracle Blue," a collaboration between herself, Korean alternative band Loveholic, and fashion powerhouse Calvin Klein. In the music video of the same name, she not only sings but also portrays various characters, showcasing her child-like innocence to her sultry, blonde-haired alter ego.
