Shin Sukchu was a Confucian scholar-official in the [[Joseon Dynasty]] Korean court. A member of a formal embassy from Joseon to the [[Muromachi shogunate]] in [[1428]], he was later named ''yonguijong'' (Chief State Councillor), and was also involved in the [[1443]] promulgation of the new ''[[hangul]]'' writing system.

Shin is perhaps most famous, however, for his [[1471]] book, ''[[Haedong chegukki]]'', a compilation of the history, geography, language, and foreign relations of Japan and [[Ryukyu Kingdom|Ryûkyû]].
