SHIN Jeom-hee is an art director who steers away from glamour and instead reveals her hidden potential energy. Her touch is present behind such box office hits as <Bedeviled>(2010) and <Secret Sunshine>(2007). The carefully positioned props and the traces of art conceal a horrendous truth and play a crucial role in embodying the stories of people who have been bereaved of too many things. Instead of using the city's modernness and flashy happenings, she uses a unsophisticated and serene background to create an impressive mise-en-scene. For this reason, she was placed in charge of the artwork of many movies that have acted as turning points in Korean cinema. She has attracted attention for her unsophisticated but powerful art, which surrounded the aggressive and magical situations of the protagonists in <Oasis>(2002), soon after her debut. Since then, she has displayed a warm, pleasant sense of color in family movies such as <The Way Home>, <When I Turned Nine>, <Innocent Steps>, and <Ice Bar and in Rikidozan>(2004). Her art, which incorporated detailed historical research and interpretation, provided a visual foundation for the depiction of a lifetime's journey.
