Sookyung Shin

2025 Hansen Graduate Actor

Sookyung is an actor from South Korea and a recent graduate of the Western Australia Academy of Performing Arts, where she completed a Bachelor of Acting.

She has performed on stage as Nora 2 in A Doll’s House (directed by Sonya Suares, adapted by Stef Smith), Dina Massie in Beautiful Burnout (directed by Matt Edgerton, by Frantic Assembly), and Miss Sheily in The Harp in the South (directed by Andrew Lewis, based on Ruth Park’s novel).

Sookyung is driven by the belief that acting has the power to offer a meaningful impact on others. This impact can sometimes bring moments of realization or, at other times, provide comfort, leaving a lasting influence on people. Her passion for acting stems from this very desire—to connect, inspire, and create powerful experiences that resonate deeply with her audience.
