Shinvi () was a South Korean female vocal trio created under the auspices of SM Entertainment's affiliate, Cid.Kim Entertainment. The group was composed of Yoo Soo-jin, Oh Sang-eun, and Yu-na. Although SM Entertainment handled their promotional activities—including interviews, television appearances, and magazine features—Shinvi issued just one album, 15 to 30, in April 2002 before disbanding the following year.
During their trainee period at SM, the members trained alongside individuals who would later become prominent figures in TVXQ, Super Junior, and Girls' Generation.
Members
- Yoo Soojin (), born March 6, 1983. Having been selected through the inaugural "SM Entertainment Best Youth Contest," Soo-jin shifted her career focus to modeling after Shinvi ceased activities, representing brands such as Estée Lauder and affiliating with Racing Model Agency GL P&P by 2012.
- Oh Sangeun (), born August 24, 1984. She initially debuted with a duet alongside Moon Hee-joon and subsequently ventured into musical theater with roles in productions like Grease, A Chorus Line, and The Magicians. Post-Shinvi, she signed with M Boat under the stage name Ne;MO, releasing five solo singles and collaborating with artists including Daesung from Big Bang, MC Mong, and Ga-In. Her participation in season 4 of I Can See Your Voice unveiled her background as a former SM trainee.
- Yuna (), born April 18, 1985. After the group's dissolution, Yoo-na pursued legal studies and successfully passed the bar examination in 2010. This accomplishment became publicly known in 2012, leading Ne;MO to appeal for respect toward Yoo-na’s privacy to allow her to maintain a normal life.
