Chin“Jin” Shin legacy of kindness and support
Chin “Jīn” Shin, 43 has been described as a kind and supportive man. He was known as a leader in the Dallas-Fort Worth Asian-American community.
A local businessman, he owned Encore Family Karaoke and co-owned DanSungSa’s Dallas location.
Friends and family say Shin was a “pillar in the Asian community”, who was a big-hearted and fun-spirited man. He dedicated his life to giving back.
May Naing Joe, Shin’s former partner, told The Dallas Morning News they share a 14-year-old daughter. And Shin devoted “a lot of his time to” his child.
“I am broken that he was robbed of his life like this, and Ella and I are robbed,” Joe said. “Ella is robbed of a father and all that she could have with him.”
Comedian Peng Dang of Arlington said he met Shin when he showed up to support him at a comedy show. And it was a “simple gesture that meant everything.”
