Kim Yong-bin's Heartfelt Fan Event on Mister Trot 3

In the upcoming episode of TV CHOSUN's Mister Trot 3 TOP7 Begins, airing on April 17 at 10 PM, viewers will witness the special event 'Yong-bin's One-Day Tea House,' which was part of Kim Yong-bin's victory promise. This heartfelt gathering was meticulously organized by Kim Yong-bin himself as a way to express gratitude to his fans.

Despite having little sleep after the competition, Kim Yong-bin arrived early to set up the venue, personally decorating every detail. He had promised to serve coffee to 50 fans, even learning how to brew it himself to fulfill this commitment. His dedication paid off, as the number of fans who signed up exceeded expectations, leading to an increase in capacity to accommodate 80 attendees.

This event showcased Kim Yong-bin's unique star power, breaking the stereotype that trot music appeals to only a limited audience. It highlighted his broad fan base, which spans across genders and age groups. Among the attendees were a 16-year-old boy who rushed over after school, a 90-year-old fan who brought her daughter and granddaughter to share their love for Kim Yong-bin, and a middle-aged man who traveled hundreds of kilometers with his wife just to meet him. Surprised by the diverse stories of his fans, Kim Yong-bin playfully asked, "Why do you like me?" in a charmingly bold manner reminiscent of a drama protagonist, eliciting laughter from the crowd.

The event also moved many to tears, including one fan who expressed, "I wanted to say thank you. I listen to your songs every night because I love them so much." In response, Kim Yong-bin performed an a cappella rendition of his song 'Always Thinking of You,' evoking the emotions of the semifinals and bringing tears to his fans' eyes.

Known for affectionately referring to his fans as "my heart" and playfully asking them not to leave him, Kim Yong-bin's interactions during this event have sparked curiosity about the advice he shared with fans who look up to him as a role model.

Even the renowned MC Kim Sung-joo was reportedly impressed by Kim Yong-bin's eloquence, as he candidly shared his thoughts with fans. Fellow judge Jang Yoon-jung remarked that Kim Yong-bin should host a talk show, praising his exceptional hosting skills.
