Education[edit]

Shin Won-ho was born in Seoul on August 28, 1975. Since middle school, he dreamed of becoming a film director. Despite wanting to major in entertainment at Hanyang University, his homeroom teacher and father compelled him to choose a science major in high school. He paid great attention to getting into college due to Garak High School being a new school. Eventually, his father submitted the application form for a science major.[4]

After graduating from Garak High School in 1994, Shin enrolled in Seoul National University's College of Engineering, majoring in Chemical Engineering. While in college, he developed a passion for film directing and actively sought opportunities to gain experience. He volunteered with a film company as staff and successfully completed his studies in Chemical Engineering in 2001, earning a Bachelor degree. He also pursued a minor in Communications, further expanding his knowledge and skills in the field.[4][5]

Career[edit]

Career in KBS[edit]

Following his graduation in 2001, Shin applied to KBS during the 27th KBS Open Recruitment and successfully joined as a staff member in KBS Entertainment. He said, "For jobs that require creativity like PD, there are advantages (as a chemical engineer)."[5][6] Shin He began his career as an assistant director in the network's variety department. His first work was The World is Now.

In 2002, he was assigned the role of assistant director to Lee Myung-han in the show "Declaration of Freedom Today is Saturday – The War Of Roses." The program revolved around male entertainers and female college students who would meet and find a mate at a mountain lodge. It was during this program that Shin collaborated with fellow assistant director Na Yeong-seok and Lee Woo-jung, who served as the main writer.[7][8][9] Together, they gained recognition as a group known as the Yeouido Research Institute,[note 1] later also known as Lee Myung-han's division.[11][12][13]

In 2002, when Lee Myung-Han was in charge of directing "Super TV Sunday is Fun", his juniors took on the responsibility of directing each segment of the show. Shin Won-ho directed "Kung Kung Ta", while Na Young-seok directed Let's Go! Dream Team - Season 1.[14]

In 2004, Shin took on the role of assistant director for the quiz show "Star Golden Bell". Concurrently, he was also assigned as an assistant director for the KBS daily sitcom "Old Miss Diary", which was directed by Kim Seok-yun. The sitcom aired from November 22, 2004, to November 4, 2005.[6]

Following this, Shin made a comeback to the entertainment industry as the main director of "Heroine 6", a sequel to Heroine 5.[14] Heroine 6 was one of the segments of the show "Happy Sunday", produced and directed by Lee Myung-han. Shin took over as the director when Lee Myung-han and Na Young-seok were working on another segment for "Happy Sunday". The show aired on KBS 2 from May 8, 2005, to April 29, 2007.[15]

From 2009 to 2011, Shin held the position of the main director for the variety show Happy SundayQualifications of Men.[16] During this time, his exceptional work in the field of entertainment led him to receive several prestigious awards. He was honored with the 'Korea PD Award for Best Entertainment Work' as well as the Minister of Culture, Sports and Tourism Award in the Broadcasting and Video Grand Prix at the Korea Contents Awards. Additionally, he received recognition at the 17th Korea Entertainment and Arts Awards, where he was awarded the Best Entertainment Program and the 47th ABU Award in the Entertainment category.[6][17]

In 2011, Shin submitted his resignation letter to KBS and transferred to CJ E&M.[18]

Career in CJ E&M[edit]

After his move, Shin initially didn't plan to enter the realm of dramas. He focused on exploring new possibilities in reality programming, drawing from his experience at KBS. In November 2011, news speculated that Shin's comeback would be a reality program.[19] However, tvN Director Song Chang-eui suggested Shin try directing a drama with a talented drama writer. Shin declined the offer due to concerns that his role would be diminished if a drama writer took over, reducing him to a mere "Jjiksae" (an insignificant figure). He expressed his willingness to take on the project only if he could have the opportunity to create a fresh version and test it out. Eventually, Director Song Chang-eui agreed to his condition, and Shin formed a production team including writer Lee Woo-jung and other entertaintment writers.[20] Together, they created "Reply 1997," Shin's first work at CJ E&M.[21]

In April 2012, tvN revealed that Shin Won-ho was directing a drama titled Reply 1997, scheduled to air in June. Lee Myung-han served as executive producers, with Lee Woo-jung as the scriptwriter.[22][23] This project was significant for Shin Won-ho, as it marked his first work at CJ E&M after transferring from KBS in July of the previous year.[24] After a month-long delay, the first self-produced drama by tvN, Reply 1997, was broadcast on July 24, 2012.[25]

Reply 1997 revolves around six friends from Busan. The story timeline shifts between their past as high school in 1997 and their present reunion in 2012, where a couple gets engaged. The show explores the growing popularity of fan culture in the 1990s with K-pop groups like H.O.T. and Sechs Kies. The setting brings back nostalgic feelings, and the love triangle of Seong Si-won (Jung Eun-ji), Yoon Yoon-jae (Seo In-guk), and Yoon Tae-woong (Song Jong-ho), with the "guess who's the husband" concept, makes the viewers intrigued.[26][27][28]

One interesting thing about Reply 1997 is how it accurately depicts the IMF crisis and the political situation of that time. The actors did a great job, using different dialects and humor, which contributed to the show's success. Being a cable drama, it had the freedom to present a detailed and realistic portrayal of the era, while also having an exciting romantic storyline. The performances by the casts were highly praised.[29][30] Reply 1997 initially attracted viewers in their 30s, but quickly gained popularity among a wider age range, including people in their 50s. Positive word-of-mouth reviews praised its entertaining and relatable qualities. The drama's storytelling approach with memory, nostalgia, and retro elements appealed to different generations, making it popular and resonating with a diverse audience. Additionally, the success of Reply 1997 sparked a revival of 1990s popular culture and a retro craze.[29][31]

In April 2013, tvN announced the second installment of the Reply series: Reply 1994. Despite having the same writer, director, and producer as Reply 1997, is not a prequel. It maintains the concept of a coming-of-age drama with 1990s nostalgia but introduces a completely new plot and characters.[32][33] Initially, writer Lee Woo-jung and director Shin Won-ho planned to set the first Reply series in 1994, the year they were college freshmen. However, after casting Eun Ji-won from Sechs Kies, they changed the year to 1997. This decision was influenced by the peak popularity of H.O.T. and Sechs Kies fandoms in 1997, which created an interesting contrast to the struggling Korean economy during the IMF crisis.[34]Feeling that they had enough material for another series, Lee and Shin returned to their original plan and created Reply 1994.[35][36]

Reply 1994 (2013) depicts the lives of college students hailing from various provinces who share a boarding house in Seoul. The drama features a talented ensemble cast including Go Ara, Jung Woo, Yoo Yeon-seok, Kim Sung-kyun, Son Ho-jun, Baro, Min Do-hee, Sung Dong-il, and Lee Il-hwa. The drama garnered exceptional success, reaching a record-breaking viewership rating of 14.3%, the highest in the history of cable dramas. Lee and Shin Won-ho, gained a lot of attention because of this success.[37]

In October 2015, Lee Myung-han, the director of tvN, announced a lineup of dramas to celebrate tvN's 10th anniversary, which began in November with the highly anticipated third installment of the Reply series called Reply 1988.[38] The drama features a talented ensemble cast including Lee Hye-ri, Ryu Jun-yeol, Go Kyung-pyo, Park Bo-gum, and Lee Dong-hwi.[39][40][41] Set in the year 1988, the story revolves around five friends and their families who live in the same neighborhood called Ssangmun-dong, Dobong District, Northern Seoul.[42] The drama aired every Friday and Saturday from November 6, 2015, to January 16, 2016, on tvN, totaling 20 episodes.[43][44][45] It received both critical acclaim and popularity among viewers, with its final episode achieving an 18.8% nationwide audience share, making it the sixth highest rated drama in Korean cable television history and highest rated television drama at the time of airing.[46][47]

Reply series, Reply 1997 (2012), Reply 1994 (2013), and Reply 1988 (2016), were all successful in terms of viewership and popularity, despite the challenging Korean climate for seasonal dramas.[48][49] The fact that "even a single line of dialogue was meticulously crafted through collaborative meetings" sheds light on why the series garnered an exceptional response. This collaborative effort, led by producer Lee Myung-han, between Shin Won-ho and Lee Woo-jung, contributed to Shin's rise as a renowned director.[48][49][50] Lee Myung-Han further explained the success of the Reply series with black swan theory.[51]

In May 2016, Shin and Lee Woo-jung started planning for black comedy drama Prison Playbook. She served as creator, the writer was junior writer from Reply Series, Jeong Bo-hoon.[52][53][54] The drama depicts the story of superstar baseball player Kim Je-hyeok, who became a criminal overnight and thrown to prison, and the lives of the people living in prison with him. The series was a commercial hit and became one of the highest-rated series in Korean cable television history.[55]

Following the success of Prison Playbook, Shin collaborated once again with Lee Woo-jung in creating the television series Hospital Playlist. It is the second installment of the Wise Life series, following Prison Playbook (2017–18).[56] Shin, who has partnered with Lee Woo-jung on all his previous dramas for tvN, including the most recent Prison Playbook, has once again joined forces with the director. They have also reunited with two actors from their past dramas, Jung Kyung-ho from Prison Playbook, and Yoo Yeon-seok from Reply 1994.[57][58] The series also features Jo Jung-suk, Kim Dae-myung, and Jeon Mi-do. These doctors, who are in their forties, work at the Yulje Medical Centre, and their friendship was established during their time in medical school.[59]

The first season of the show was broadcast on tvN every Thursday from March 12 to May 28, 2020.[60] Following their television airing, each episode was made available on Netflix in South Korea, Asia-Pacific, Latin America and English-speaking countries.[a][61] By the end of the first season, it had achieved the status of being the ninth highest-rated Korean drama in cable television history at the time. The second season was aired from June 17 and September 16, 2021.[62] According to Nielsen Korea, the first episode garnered 10.007% viewership, setting a network record for the highest premiere ratings.[63][64]

Shin gave a passionate lecture on the subject of 'the production process and behind-the-scenes of broadcasting programs' at the 'SAC Youth Broadcasting Writer Camp' held at the Sakarirang Hall in the main building of Seoul National University of Arts.[65]

Shin worked as a director at CJ E&M from 2011 until July 2018. He then moved on to become a drama director at CJ ENM E&M Division from July 2018 to January 2023. As of January 2023, Shin joined CJ E&M subsidiary Eggs is Coming.[66]

Personal life[edit]

Shin married his current wife in 2005. Shin married his wife in 2005. In 2018, he mentioned that they had two daughters in elementary school. One was in 5th grade, while the other was in 2nd grade (born in 2009).[4][67]
