She is the drummer of a band she formed with friends, Chick and Candy.After graduating from Eonbuk Elementary School and Cheongdam Middle School, in 2010 Shim temporarily quit acting to move to the U.S., explaining, “I chose a place where there aren’t a lot of Korean people and decided on a high school in Pittsburgh.
