Whispers of the Past is a blog where I delve into my family, the Shin family, and its historical role in the South Korean government.
I specifically focus on our ties with the Korean economy (especially in older generations), however you will find stories focusing on other issues as well.

From personal anecdotes on surviving war and playing with friends to recountings of political and military battles, I intend to rediscover my family, Korea, and all the things— little or large— that shape the economy and world.

Join me on a journey as we uncover the whispers of the past. Together, we’ll explore the origins of the Shin name, the epic battles of a bygone era, the tales of brilliant scholars, and the valiant struggles against the Japanese regime.
