Shin Jung-hwan (born 10 May 1975, Seoul) is a South Korean singer and entertainer. Known first for being part of K-pop groups Roo'ra and Country Kko Kko, he has since become a "comedian", or an entertainer, on various variety shows. In November 2005, he encountered some controversy after he was caught gambling and he subsequently resigned from all his shows, including SBS's Love Letter. Five months later, however, he re-emerged on his previous shows and regained his popularity. He became a regular on the show Heroine 6, being part of the "Gag Team 3" with Kim Jong Min and singer Lee Jung, until it ended in 2007. He was also a permanent member on KBS's Sang Sang Plus, Unforgettable Songs, part of KBS's Happy Sunday line-up, and Radio Star, part of MBC's Golden Fishery line-up.
