Kim Jong-min joined Koyote late → The story of becoming a leader
Koyote appeared in episode 216 of KBS 2TV's 'The boss's ears are donkey ears' (hereinafter referred to as 'Sadangwi'), which aired on the 16th.
When asked how he became Koyote's leader, Kim Jong-min replied, "Shinji told me to do it." Special MC Eun Ji-won pointed out that he was the "pants president" and made everyone laugh. Eun Ji-won, the leader of Sechs Kies, said, "I am a dictatorial leader. I just exclude members who are out of control. If you lead the rest of the members, they will naturally follow. There is no need to fight with uncontrollable members." He cited 'dictatorial leadership' as the secret. On the other hand, Kim Jong-min said, "I am a boss who believes in, supports, and is considerate." "(As a leader) I do not tell the company about the members' grievances. revealed However, Shinji complained about Kim Jong-min as an "evasive leader." Baekga also said, “He is a cramped and stuffy leader.”
Kim Jong-min's frustrating side was revealed even during meetings with the members. Koyote gathered to decide on the title song ahead of their comeback. The members pondered over the candidates for the title track. When Shinji asked for Kim Jong-min's opinion, Kim Jong-min rather asked, "What is your opinion?" When both Shinji and Baekga picked 'wind', Kim Jong-min showed an indecisive side, saying, "I don't care. I'll follow your opinion." When the MCs asked, "Is it like that when you're dating?" Kim Jong-min replied, "Yes. It's because I'm considerate." However, Shinji pointed out, "The person says he is considerate, but it seems like he's passing it on." After that, when deciding on the choreography, Kim Jong-min followed the opinions of the two. MC Kim Sook was embarrassed, saying, “At that level, Kim Jong-min doesn’t have to be present.”
Koyote celebrated the 25th anniversary of his debut this year. While talking about his activities in the past, Kim Jong-min aroused curiosity with a surprise confession, "I have an album that I produced for all songs, but it is the only loss among Koyote's albums." Kim Jong-min confided, “I produced all songs for ‘Good Good Time,’ which was released in 2011. Koyote is the only album that failed.” Kim Jong-min confessed, "After that, I stopped giving opinions about the album."
Kim Jong-min revealed that he originally wanted to be in a male group. Kim Jong-min, who used to be a dancer for Uhm Jung-hwa in the past, said, “When I was a backup dancer for Jeong-hwa noona in the past, I received a bag full of fan letters a day.” I'm disappointed," he wrote.
The behind-the-scenes story of Kim Jong-min becoming the leader was also revealed. It turns out that Shinji ordered Kim Jong-min to be the leader. Kim Jong-min, who joined later, said he was able to settle down as a member of Koyote thanks to his role as leader. Shinji said, "My brother must have been outside." "When I asked him if he had eaten, he always said he ate. But it always disappeared. Later, when I asked him, he went to the supermarket alone and ate cup noodles. It was uncomfortable to eat together. Hearing that, I was so upset that I took care of it even more.” Also, "I made my brother the leader at that time. My brother is older than me, and he said that Koyote would like it more if he did it." “He raised Kim Jong-min up.
Baekga once suffered from a brain tumor. Shinji said, "Jongmin oppa isn't someone who cries on TV, but he cried a lot on variety shows, and I cried too." Shinji expressed her affection for Koyote and leader Kim Jong-min, saying, "Jong-min's brother's 60th birthday is Koyote's 40th anniversary. Our goal is to be together until then."
