Kwak Hyun-been (; born April 10, 1986), known professionally as Shin Hyun-been (), is a South Korean actress. Shin started her acting career by starring in the film He's on Duty (2010) and television series Warrior Baek Dong-soo (2011). She gained wider recognition with the television series Hospital Playlist (2020–2021).
Career
Shin Hyun-been wanted to be an actress since high school, but she lacked the confidence to try. After she finished college, Shin decided to participate in various auditions, which landed her the roles in both 2010 black comedy film He's on Duty and 2011 SBS historical action Warrior Baek Dong-soo.
With He's on Duty, Shin won Best New Actress at the prestigious 47th Baeksang Arts Awards for her portrayal of a Vietnamese worker struggling with racism in South Korea. Shin got mainstream recognition with her role as a noble young woman who hides an important map tattoo on her body with the highly rated TV series Warrior Baek Dong-soo.
Shin's next breakthrough came in 2019-2020. In 2019 she was cast as the female lead of tvN's crime mystery Confession, followed by the 2020 ensemble cast thriller film Beasts Clawing at Straws, for which Shin was nominated at the 41st Blue Dragon Film Awards.
After her standout role as a resident and then fellow of General Surgery in the 2020–2021 medical series Hospital Playlist, Shin accepted offers to star in several series, among them JTBC's 2022 fantasy revenge series Reborn Rich where she acted as an anti-corruption prosecutor and 2023 melodrama romance Tell Me That You Love Me, a remake of the 1995 Japanese series Aishiteiru to Itte Kure.
In 2024, Shin led the Coupang Play's workplace romantic comedy Cinderella at 2 AM.
Shin has frequently cooperated with famed director Yeon Sang-ho. After the miniseries Monstrous, she went on to star in his three latest films consecutively, the 2025-released Revelations and The Ugly, followed by the upcoming Colony.
