After establishing 153/Joombas Music Group in 2012, he has since led the company to a catalogue with over 1000 released songs, totaling nearly 10 million physical albums sales worldwide, and a roster of nearly 100 signed writers.
Shin produced the mega-hit song "Growl" by Exo in 2013, which led to the first million-seller album in the digital streaming era. "Growl" was also selected as the representative K-Pop song at the 2018 PyeongChang Winter Olympics and ranked No. 2 on Melon's Top 100 Best K-Pop Songs of All Time.
As an entrepreneur, Shin has partnered with some of the most influential global music companies such as Warner Music Group, Warner Chappell Music, Universal Music Group, and SM Entertainment for various projects and ventures.
