Madame Shim is one of the most powerful women in South Korea thanks to her extensive network of politicians, artists, news channels, and corporate CEOs. Her soft power has given her the power to kill the careers of many artists.

Who is Madame Shim?

Shim Mi Young, also known as Shim Min Ji or Madame Shim, is the founder and CEO of luxury fashion house L'inoui.

However, Madame Shim is more famous for being the maid of the brokerage ring selling flowers to wealthy VIPs. Madame Shim is also the organizer of the red and black lines for this VIP group.

Madame Shim's illegal activities took place under the name 10 Percent. It is a prostitute line for celebrities, politicians and CEOs of corporations.

Thanks to 10 Percent, Madame Shim built relationships with many bloody characters - the same "death card" that helped the tycoon escape criminal charges when the red and black ring was exposed in 2008.

After an administrative penalty in 2008, Madame Shim launched the fashion brand L'inoui. This is considered one of the most expensive brands in Korea. In fact, the L'inoui brand is not popular with a large number of users.

L'inoui's handbags have been used by Jang Geun Suk, Kim so Hyun, Lee Jong Suk, Hyun Bin, Kim Jae Won... use. Jang Geun Suk was spotted in Madam Shim's Rolls Royce in June 2012.

The woman involved in many of the artist's deaths

Madame Shim is suspected of being involved in the tragic deaths of many Korean entertainers because of her shady relationship with CEOs of entertainment companies. Netizens suspected that some of these cases were actually murderous and then staged into foolish thoughts.

Choi Jin Sil was the top actress in Korea in the early 2000s, and her marriage to baseball player Cho Sung-min was considered the "wedding of the century" at the time. However, they divorced in 2004.

Madame Shim is believed to be the cause of the couple's breakup. Cho Sung Min regularly gambles at Madame Shim's house and has an affair with the tycoon. In fact, the two were once married but later went their separate ways.

Actress Choi Jin Sil passed away in 2008. Her ex-husband Cho Sung Min also passed away in 2013, having yet to formally divorce Madame Shim. After Choi Jin Shil's death, her younger brother, singer Choi Jin Young, also went foolish because of depression in 2010.

Before her death in 2009, Boys Over Flowers actress Jang Ja Yeon was preparing to sue her agency. During the investigation, much of the security camera footage was destroyed, raising questions about police cover-ups.

The police also found a notebook with a list of high-ranking figures in Korean society that Jang Ja Yeon was forced to "serve." However, the police refused to release the entire list.

U:Nee and Jeong Da Bin both chose to take their own lives in 2007. They are two female artists under the same parent company as Choi Jin Shil and Jang Ja Yeon.

Apart from the goodbye that Jeong Da Bin wrote on Cyworld, all four female artists did not leave suicide notes. The coincidence once again raises the question that there is a twist behind their departure.

Singer Kim Ji Hoon is a close friend of Jang Ja Yeon, who hugged her photo at the funeral and helped with the case of Ja Yeon being forced to go back and forth with many well-known public figures.

Kim Ji Hoon was charged with using illegal substances that caused his career to suffer. He was forced to retire shortly thereafter, falling into depression and eventually ending himself.

The soft power of the entertainment mogul

An investigation into a gambling ring in 2008 revealed that the tycoon was not only an organizer of home gambling, but also provided usury services.

Accordingly, gamblers can borrow money from Madame Shim at exorbitant interest of up to 10%. Many sources claim that Madame Shim died through a sexual bribe to the investigating officers.

On April 4, 2012, Madame Shim opened L'inoui store in Apgujeong, Seoul. The event brought together many A-list names of the entertainment industry such as Jang Dong Gun, Jang Geun Suk, Son Dam Bi, Ha Ji Won and Jang Hyuk.

Two members of boy band CNBlue, Lee Jong Hyun and Jung Yong Hwa, also appeared at the event. Just two months later, Lee Jong Hyun was cast as Jang Dong-gun's son in the SBS drama Gentleman's Dignity.

Netizens believe that Jonghyun got the role because of the influence of Madame Shim, because at that time, the singer still had no name or acting experience.

Madame Shim and Dispatch are also said to be closely related. Dispatch regularly reports on L'inoui's newly opened stores, lists of artists participating in events, and using the brand's merchandise. In return, Madame Shim would reveal to Dispatch breaking news about the artists.

Madame Shim is known for her far-reaching influence on the media. On Korean online portals, searches related to the character Madame Shim yield very few results. The Korean press also did not write about the character, making the name Madame Shim almost invisible to the press and media.
