Personal life
Shim is the youngest daughter in her family. Her hobbies are listening to music, reading science fiction comics, and doing taekwondo. 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. Studying is a goal, but I also chose this because I've grown tired mentally and physically after having acted since a young age." She finished her high school at the Professional Children's School in 2013.{{cite web|script-title=ko:‘어린 이미연’ 심은경, 9월 美유학길 오른다|url=http://www.newsen.com/news_view.php?uid=201003291447581001|work=Newsen|trans-title=Shim Eun-kyung off to study abroad in the States|language=ko|access-date=2012-11-23|date=30 May 2010|archive-date=2011-03-17|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110317165723/http://www.newsen.com/news_view.php?uid=201003291447581001|url-status=live}}
She shot a commercial with rocker Seo Taiji in 2008 and played the younger version of Lee Ji-ah's character Sujini in The Legend, but she didn't know that Lee and Seo were secretly married until 2011 when Shim was implicated in rumors that she was Seo and Lee's daughter, which she denied.{{cite web|script-title=ko:심은경 “서태지-이지아 딸 루머 황당, 부모님에게 죄송” (인터뷰)|url=http://ntn.seoul.co.kr/?c=news&m=view&idx=91498|work=NTN Seoul|trans-title=Shim Eun-kyung speaks out against rumors that she's Lee Ji-ah's daughter|language=ko|access-date=2012-11-23|date=26 April 2011}}{{dead link|date=February 2018 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}
Originally nominated for the Best Actress award at the 2011 Grand Bell Awards for her role in Sunny, Shim complained publicly through her Twitter account when the awards committee removed her name from the official list of the nominees after she notified them she could not attend the event because she was currently studying in the U.S. She was one of four actors and actresses removed from the initial nomination. Shim ended up winning Best Supporting Actress for her role in Romantic Heaven; Chun Woo-hee, her castmate in Sunny, accepted the honor on Shim's behalf.{{cite web|last=Park|first=So-jung|script-title=ko:대종상 영화제, 류승범등 후보자 갑작스러운 제외.. 이유는?|url=http://www.tenasia.co.kr/archives/11603|access-date=2012-11-18|work=10Asia|language=ko|date=17 October 2011}}{{cite web|last=Lee|first=Claire|title=Kim Ha-neul, Park Hae-il get top honors at Daejong Film Awards|url=http://view.koreaherald.com/kh/view.php?ud=20111018000778|access-date=2012-11-18|work=The Korea Herald|date=19 October 2011|archive-date=2023-10-28|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231028161520/https://www.koreaherald.com/view.php?ud=20111018000778|url-status=live}}{{cite web|last=Lee|first=Jin-ho|title=Shim Eun Kyeong Receives a Bitter Prize|url=http://enewsworld.mnet.com/enews/contents.asp?idx=989|archive-url=https://archive.today/20130128214950/http://enewsworld.mnet.com/enews/contents.asp?idx=989|url-status=dead|archive-date=January 28, 2013|access-date=2012-11-18|work=enewsWorld|date=18 October 2011}}{{cite web|last=Lee|first=Jin-ho|title=Shim Eun Kyeong Backs Down on Daejong Awards Controversy|url=http://enewsworld.mnet.com/enews/contents.asp?idx=1066|archive-url=https://archive.today/20130129074348/http://enewsworld.mnet.com/enews/contents.asp?idx=1066|url-status=dead|archive-date=January 29, 2013|access-date=2012-11-18|work=enewsWorld|date=20 October 2011}}
