For South Korea, Shin Sang-hoon already took part in the U18 World Junior Championships in 2010 , when he was voted the best player of his team, and in 2011 , and was one of the most successful players in his country with a total of twelve goals in ten games. After he was again noticed in the B group of Division II of the U20 Junior World Championship 2013 with nine goals in five games, he was nominated for the subsequent Men's World Cup 2013 (Division I) and made his debut there in the senior national team of the Asian country. In this first World Cup participation, he scored three goals, each of which equalized an opposing lead: First he scored the 4: 4 equalizer in the 5: 4 after penalty shoot-out against hosts Hungary , then he scored the 2: 2 in the 5: 6 loss to Japan and finally he equalized the early opening goal by Robert Dowd in the 4-1 win against the later relegated Great Britain .
