Shim Jae Won, known professionally as Jae Shim, is a South Korean singer, dancer, choreographer, former member of EAGLE5 (이글파이브) and BLACK BEAT (블랙 비트), and current member of BEATBURGER (비트버거). He graduated from Gyeonggi High School and later obtained a bachelor's degree in Theater and Film from Myongji University.

He made his debut in April 1998 as part of EAGLE5 with their first studio album, "The Infrared Journey". Unfortunately, they were not successful and faced several lineup changes between their first and second albums, ultimately disbanding in mid-1999.

He then re-debuted in March 2002 as BLACK BEAT's rapper with their album, "Black Beat #2002 - The First Performance 001". They were managed by SM Entertainment (SM엔터테인먼트), but the company never invested too much to promote them. They did not release any new original material and instead, simply collaborated with other SM artists and appeared in all the SM Town events until they quietly disbanded in early 2007 due to inactivity.

He then joined an electronic group called BEATBURGER, a joint production between SM Entertainment and V Entertainment. They occasionally perform at nightclubs, but he is now focused on his career as a choreographer at SM.
