Background

Shin Films was a South Korean film production house which is formerly known as Shin Sang-okk Production and renamed to Shin Films in 1959 and founded by Shin Sang-ok, who was titled "the Prince of South Korean cinema". During the early 1980s, Shin established a new company in North Korea due to Shin's kidnapping by Kim Jong-il. After his kidnapping, Shin moved to Los Angeles and established Sheen Productions, Inc. under the alias Simon Sheen. He would later return to South Korea permanently in 1994.
