Kim Yong-bin from 'Shoe Off, Dolsing Po Man' revealed that he was cast by Lee Soo-man in the past.
On the 10th, the SBS program 'Shoe Off, Dolsing Po Man' featured the stars of 'Mr. Trot 3': Kim Yong-bin, Son Bin-ah, Chun-gil, Choi Jae-myeong, and Choo Hyuk-jin, showcasing their exceptional chemistry with the Dolsing Po Man cast.
The prize money for winning Mr. Trot was a whopping 300 million won. When asked how it felt to receive 300 million won, Kim Yong-bin candidly said, 'The taxes are going to be a lot,' which made everyone laugh.
Known as a trot prodigy, Kim Yong-bin debuted at the age of 13 with KBS. He explained, 'I was raised by my grandmother. I received a suggestion to become a singer from composer Park Chun-seok. There was a lot of opposition at the time. She worked in the beauty industry. I sang trot before children's songs while listening to them,' drawing attention.
Chun-gil stated that he had previously appeared with Kim Yong-bin on 'Challenge 1000 Songs' during his time as The Man from Nowhere, and that when Kim Yong-bin later met him, he called him 'The Man from Nowhere,' bringing laughter.
Kim Yong-bin said, 'I grew up too. Now, I call him hyung (older brother), but back then, he looked like The Man from Nowhere. That's why I said, 'It's been a while, The Man from Nowhere,' which caused laughter.
Although Kim Yong-bin was cast multiple times by large agencies to become an idol, he refused, saying, 'I appeared as a guest on an MBC variety show. CEO Lee Soo-man said he was looking for me, so I went to the room. He told me that they were creating a group called SHINee and suggested that it would be great if I could join.'
