Shin's next breakthrough came in 2019. In 2019 she was cast as the female lead of tvN's crime mystery Confession,[7] followed by the 2020 ensemble cast thriller film Beasts Clawing at Straws, for which Shin was nominated at the 41st Blue Dragon Film Awards.[8][9]

After her standout role as a resident and then fellow of General Surgery in the 2020–2021 medical series Hospital Playlist,[10][11] Shin accepted offers to star in several series, among them JTBC's 2022 fantasy revenge series Reborn Rich where she acted as an anti-corruption prosecutor[12] and 2023 melodrama romance Tell Me That You Love Me, a remake of the 1995 Japanese series Aishiteiru to Itte Kure.[13]
