Kim Yong-bin Talks About Mister Trot 3 Prize Money on 'Chef Heo Young-man's Food Journey'

On the May 18 episode of TV Chosun's 'Chef Heo Young-man's Food Journey', Kim Yong-bin, the winner of 'Mister Trot 3', along with fellow contestant Son Bin-ah, visited their hometowns of Daegu and Hadong. The trio stopped by a local restaurant that Son Bin-ah has frequented for the past decade. Heo Young-man humorously remarked, 'I’m not feeling great today. When I come alone, there are hardly any people. But with you two here, it’s packed. Maybe I should become a singer too.'

It's been about a month since the conclusion of 'Mister Trot 3'. Son Bin-ah shared, 'In the past, people wouldn’t recognize me at restaurants. Nowadays, even at a café near my house, people come up to take photos. I enjoy going out a bit more now.'

Heo Young-man also commented on the prize distribution, noting that while the first-place winner received 300 million KRW, the second-place prize included cosmetics, a massage chair, and shoes. He jokingly said, 'That’s too much. At least give the first-place winner half. Or even a third would be nice.' Hearing this, Kim Yong-bin appeared visibly uncomfortable, prompting Son Bin-ah to tease him, saying, 'Then Yong-bin, you should give me some of that.'
