Shin spent much of the summer of 1998 overseas with the South Korean national team, taking part in a tour of Japan and United States and competing in the Baseball World Cup held in Italy. In December 1998, he was selected for the South Korea national team again that finished in 1st place at the 1998 Asian Games in Bangkok, Thailand.
