Shim is the youngest child in her family. In her free time, she enjoys reading science fiction comics, listening to music, and practicing taekwondo. Alongside her friends Chick and Candy, she formed a band in which she serves as the drummer.

<h2>Education and Time in the United States</h2>

After graduating from Eonbuk Elementary School and Cheongdam Middle School in 2010, Shim took a temporary break from acting and moved to the United States. Explaining her decision, she shared, "I chose a place where there aren't many Korean people and decided on a high school in Pittsburgh. Studying was a goal, but I also made this decision because I was mentally and physically exhausted from acting from a young age." She later attended Professional Children's School in New York City, graduating in 2013.

<h2>Child Acting Career and Early Recognition</h2>

Shim made her acting debut at the age of 9 in the 2004 television series The Woman Who Wants to Marry. She soon established herself as one of the leading child actresses of her generation. Her notable early performances include roles in Hansel and Gretel, the fantasy horror film, as well as acclaimed television dramas such as The Legend, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hwang_Jini_(TV_series)">Hwang Jini</a>, The Great Merchant, and Women of the Sun. Critics frequently noted that her performances often rivaled or even surpassed those of her adult co-stars.

<h2>Breakthrough with Sunny and Critical Acclaim</h2>

In 2011, Shim successfully transitioned into leading roles with the retro dramedy Sunny, which follows the lives of seven women by shifting between their teenage years in the 1980s and their adult lives in the present day. The film was praised for its meticulous period detail, witty dialogue, and strong ensemble cast. Sunny defied industry expectations by proving that female-driven narratives could succeed at the box office, garnering over 7 million admissions. <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kang_Hyeong-cheol">Director</a> <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kang_Hyeong-cheol">Kang Hyeong-cheol</a> described Shim as “already a complete actress.”

<h2>Box Office Success with Miss Granny</h2>

In 2014, Shim starred in the comedy Miss Granny, playing a 70-year-old woman who mysteriously finds herself in a 20-year-old’s body. Reflecting on the role, she said, "This film is especially meaningful to me because it marks my first time playing a lead not as a child actress, but as a full-fledged actress." The film surpassed the box office success of Sunny, with over 8.65 million admissions. For her performance, Shim won Best Actress honors at the Chunsa Film Art Awards, the Baeksang Arts Awards, the Director’s Cut Awards, and the Buil Film Awards.
