According to sources from the food industry and business community on September 4, Vice President Shin will be holding a wedding ceremony on September 13 with a woman employed at SK Telecom. The bride-to-be is known to be an ordinary office worker. The couple recently showcased their affection for the company by taking a witty wedding photo together holding Nongshim’s flagship product, Shin Ramyun.


Born in 1993, Vice President Shin graduated from the Department of Industrial Engineering at Columbia University in the United States, and officially joined Nongshim’s Business Planning Office in March 2019. Prior to that, he worked as an intern at Nongshim for about two years starting in 2015, gaining hands-on experience. He was promoted to assistant manager in 2020 and then to department head in 2021. Later that year in November, he was appointed as Head of Purchasing (Executive Director), becoming the company’s first executive in his twenties. He was further promoted to Senior Executive Director in November 2024, and then advanced to his current position of Vice President in January of this year, further expanding his management role.



As the only son among Chairman Shin Dongwon’s three children, Vice President Shin is both the eldest grandson of the Nongshim family and is considered a strong candidate for the next generation of leadership. Having served in key positions ranging from raw material procurement to new business development, he has steadily expanded his management experience. Accordingly, it is expected that his public and external activities will become even more stable following this marriage.
