K-Pop Star Kim Yong-bin Celebrates 'Mr. Trot 3' Anniversary with Fans in Jeju
On Instagram, Kim expressed, "It's been a while since I greeted you all. Thanks to you, I successfully completed the Jeju event. It turns out that the day of the event marked one year since I became the winner of 'Mr. Trot 3'."
He continued, "I've been so busy receiving so much love from you all that I didn't even realize how quickly time was passing. I was deeply moved when my beloved fans, Sarangbin, simultaneously held up banners to celebrate the anniversary. I will never forget the memories we made together in Jeju. Thank you for always loving and cherishing me, my heart, Sarangbin! Let's continue walking together."
In the photos, Kim is seen sitting by the window on a plane, capturing a selfie with a relaxed demeanor. Wearing a black cap and mask, he gently holds his hat with one hand, exuding a calm atmosphere as sunlight softly illuminates his face through the window.
Dressed in a gray hoodie layered over a white t-shirt, with a small pendant necklace adding to his casual charm, Kim showcases his everyday appeal. Another photo captures him slightly bowing his head for a selfie in the same airplane seat, while the final image shows him taking a mirror selfie in the restroom, wearing a black padded jacket over the gray hoodie, striking a natural pose as he adjusts his hair.
Fans responded with comments like "Congratulations on the 1st anniversary," "Our Yong-bin forever," "We will always love and support you," "Your skin is better than a woman's," "Thanks to you, I'm so happy and will be even happier," and "My heart, Kim Yong-bin, let's be together forever."
Born in 1992, Kim Yong-bin won TV Chosun's 'Mr. Trot 3', receiving a prize of 300 million won. After taxes, his net earnings were approximately 286.8 million won. Kim plans to share some of his winnings with his aunt, gift his fellow members, and express gratitude to his fan club, Sarangbin.
