Jiu Shin has won the Dream (2nd division) Tour on the Korea Ladies Professional Golf Association (KLPGA) circuit.

On June 24, at Muan Country Club in Muan, Jeollanam-do (par 73, 6,685 yards), she recorded four birdies and two bogeys for a 2-under-par 71 in the final 2nd round of the 2026 Muan Country Club All For You Dream Tour 10th leg (total prize money: 70 million won). With a final total of 10-under-par 136, Jiu Shin finished tied with Nahyun Kim II, but clinched victory with a 3-meter birdie putt in the fourth playoff on the 18th hole (par 5). She earned her first career win along with a prize of 10.5 million won. She is now ranked fifth on the money list with 23,421,910 won.

Jiu Shin said, "I'm so happy and it still doesn't feel real. Even though it was my first playoff, instead of getting nervous, I enjoyed the tournament and played my game. Receiving a putting lesson and correcting my stance right before the tournament became a major driving force. Thanks to my putts dropping at crucial moments, I was able to win."

After winning back-to-back tournaments in the 7th and 8th legs of the 2024 Jump (3rd division) Tour, Jiu Shin became a full member and, with her Dream Tour win this season, took another step closer to securing a seed on the regular tour. "Since I achieved my season goal of winning once on the Dream Tour early, I will do my best to add another win in the remainder of the season," she said.

Hyewon Lee II finished third (9-under-par 137). Jehee Park took fourth place (8-under-par 138), and Yujin Shin, winner of the Phoenix Country Club Dream Tour 9th leg, along with Jaerin Kim and Junghyun Kang, tied for fifth (7-under-par 139).
