Shim Eun-kyung (born May 31, 1994) is a South Korean actress. She has starred in a number of films and television dramas, notably the box office hits Sunny (2011) and Miss Granny (2014).
Shim Eun-kyung made her acting debut at age 9 in the 2004 TV series The Woman Who Wants to Marry, and subsequently made a career as one of the best child actresses of her generation. She starred in horror fairytale Hansel and Gretel, as well as TV series such as Hwang Jini, The Legend, Women of the Sun, and The Great Merchant, critics say at times even outshining her adult counterparts.
In 2011, she successfully transitioned as a lead actress via retro dramedy Sunny, which tells the story of seven women, crosscutting between their lives in the present and the experiences that first brought them together as teenagers in the 1980s. Distinguished for its period detail, witty dialogue and the performances of its ensemble cast, the film shattered the common belief that women-centered pictures can't achieve blockbuster-level success. By appealing to a wide range of age groups,Sunny's box office total stood at more than 7 million admissions at the end of its long run. Director Kang Hyeong-cheol described Shim as someone "who is already complete as an actress."
Shim's other notable roles include a girl caught amidst the Korean War in black comedy Kyung-sook, Kyung-sook's Father (also known as My Dad Loves Trouble), a sister with seemingly supernatural abilities in Possessed, a depressive in The Quiz Show Scandal, and a court taster in Masquerade.
