Early life and education

Johyun was born as Shin Jee-won in Seongnam, South Korea, on April 14, 1996,[1] from a former ballerina.[2] She was active as a short track skater from elementary school to the first year of junior high school before suffering an injury that made her quit,[3] and going to study abroad.[4] In 2006, she came first place with a record of 49.51 seconds in the 500m race for female elementary 3rd-4th graders at the 9th National Men's and Women's Short Track and Speed Skating Competition.[4] She became an idol trainee in 2013.[3]

She studied Broadcast and Entertainment at Dongduk Women's University.[1]

Career

Johyun was introduced as the sixth member of Berry Good in late October 2016.[5][6][7] She made her official debut on November 1, with the release of their second mini album Glory.[8] Her stage name is a homage to actress Joey Wong, who's known as Wang Jo-hyun in Korean.[9]

In autumn 2017, she joined the cast of talk show We're Also National Athletes, talking about her experience as a short track skater ahead of the Pyeongchang Winter Olympics.[10] She also competed in the reality survival show Mixnine,[11] finishing 24th and being eliminated.[12][13]

In 2018, she co-hosted the MBC game show Begin A Game.[14] The following year, she made a name for herself in the esports world thanks to her passion for League of Legends, ultimately joining two related shows: Game Dolympics 2019: Golden Card[15] and Egame of Thrones.[16] She competed in the latter one with the Jangtan Gamedan team, reaching the finals.[16]

In 2020, she co-hosted the cable variety show Things These Days alongside Kim Yu-bin and Jun Hyo-seong,[17] had a supporting role in the noir movie The Dragon Inn[18] and was in the main cast of Strange School Tales: The Child Who Wouldn't Come, a horror miniseries.[19] In 2021, she scored her first leading role in the horror thriller movie Hypnosis,[20] and hosted the second season of Things These Days alongside Heo Young-ji.[21]

On May 12, 2021, JTG Entertainment announced its merger with Starweave Entertainment and the consequent disbandment of Berry Good; Johyun moved to Starweave to pursue her acting career.[22] Later in November, she joined the cast of webseries Cherry Blossoms After Winter as the female lead.[23] On January 30, 2022, she co-hosted the MBC special program leading to the Beijing Winter Olympics.[24]

On January 11, 2023, she left JTG and signed with Ghost Studio, continuing her acting career under her birth name, Shin Jee-won.[25]
