Shin Seok-jung was a Korean poet. He was born in 1907 in Buan, North Jeolla Province. After graduating from Buan public school, he went to Seoul and studied Buddhist texts for a year in Gangwon Province, at the predecessor of Dongguk University.

In 1931, he began his career as a member of the 'Simunhak'(시문학, The meaning of 'poetic literature', a monthly magazine specializing in poetry). He established a unique position by publishing an idyllic poetry. He served as a schoolteacher at Buan Middle School and Jeonju High School.

In July 1976, Shin Seok-Jeong's tombstone was constructed in Jeonju Deokjin Park.
