About Shim Eun-jin

Shim Eun-jin (Korean: 심은진; born February 6, 1981) is a South Korean singer and actress. She is a member of South Korean girl group Baby V.O.X. == Career == Shim Eun-jin launched her singing career in 1998 as a member of Baby V.O.X, one of the most prominent South Korean girl groups of the 1990s. She was the first to leave the group at the end of 2004, publicly stating that she did not agree with the direction their record company DR Music was heading.

The first single, "Oopsy," was a sexy dance number, allowing Shim to showcase her sexy dance moves (which she was best known for during her time as a Baby V.O.X member). She then moved on to a ballad as her second single, although it was not promoted heavily. Sales of the album were mediocre, although not abysmal. While promoting her album, she went on various variety shows, and launched her clothing line, Z'BAGO. In 2006, Shim made her acting debut in the period drama Dae Jo-yeong.
