Shin Wan

Shin Wan (申琓, 1646–1707) was a civil official of Joseon. His courtesy name was Gongheon (公獻), his pen name was Gyeongam (絅庵), and his posthumous name was Munjang (文莊). He belonged to the Noron faction, but was somewhat close to the Soron faction. He rose to the rank of Chief State Councillor (senior first rank), and together with Kim Chang-jip, Yi I-myeong, Yi Geon-myeong, Jo Tae-chae, Min Jin-hu, and others, he was one of the core figures of the Noron. He was a great-grandson of Chief State Councillor Shin Gyeong-jin. He was a descendant of Left State Councillor Shin Gae, posthumously honored as Munhui.

In the late reign of King Hyeonjong, he passed the civil service examination and served as Jeongeon and Jipyeong, but was driven from court by the Gabin Etiquette Controversy. After the Gyeongsin Remedy Change, he was reinstated by King Sukjong and served as Heonnap, Gyoli, BuBuchan, Suchan, Bugyoli, Sagan, Eungyo, Jipui, and other posts. During the reign of Sukjong, he was promoted to senior official rank and served as Seungji. He later served as Daesagan, Chief Royal Secretary, Governor of Gangyang Province, Chief Censor, and Governor of Gyeonggi Province, and enjoyed the favor of Sukjong, but was driven from court by the Gisa Remedy Change. However, after the Gapsul Remedy Change, he was again promoted to the post of minister. Favored by Sukjong, he became Minister of Rites and then served as Chief Censor and Left Assistant State Councillor. He again served as Minister of Rites, Jiuigeumbusa, Chief Censor, Mayor of Hanseong, Minister of Personnel, Supervisor of the Royal Medical Office, Chief Director of the Royal Court of Justice, and Left Assistant State Councillor. He later became Right State Councillor and Left State Councillor before reaching Chief State Councillor, but he withdrew from court due to a series of events.
