Next Creative, which manages An Shin-ae, announced on August 5 that "An Shin-ae is making a fresh start as the CEO of the cosmetics brand 'MERBEI'." MERBEI is a brand created after An Shin-ae, who lived a life as a professional golfer with her skin constantly exposed to UV rays, retired and personally developed skincare products to keep her skin healthy.

Initially, five skincare products have been launched: essence, serum, cream, sunscreen, and foam cleanser. The company explained that the products are formulated with ingredients and textures that can effectively help with whitening and wrinkle improvement, and are especially focused on skin with pigmentation or blemishes after childbirth, as well as skin that becomes dull and sensitive after the age of 30. An Shin-ae stated, "When your skin changes, your mood changes too," and added, "Even your life can change positively." The cosmetics are available for purchase on the official online store.

An Shin-ae debuted on the Korea Ladies Professional Golf Association (KLPGA) Tour in 2009 and won the Rookie of the Year award. She consistently performed well, achieving a total of three wins, and then challenged the Japanese stage in 2017. Until last year, she competed on the Japan Ladies Professional Golf Association (JLPGA) Tour, but did not achieve notable results and subsequently retired.
