Popular Trot Singer Kim Yong-bin Feels His Success Through His Bank Deposits

Trot singer Kim Yong-bin is embracing his status as a popular artist, humorously noting that his bank deposit notifications are a clear sign of his success. He is set to appear on the KBS 2TV program 'Immortal Songs' for a special episode titled 'Trot Best Friends King's Match,' which celebrates the camaraderie among top trot singers.

Seeing my deposit notifications these days makes me feel like 'I'm doing well.'

The episode features a lineup of talented artists, including Kim Yong-bin, Son Bin-ah, and Chu Hyuk-jin, who have formed a group known as the '92z.' Kim Yong-bin expressed his current satisfaction, stating, "Seeing my deposit notifications these days makes me feel like 'I'm doing well.'" This comment drew attention and highlighted his thriving career.

During the show, the '92z' members shared anecdotes about their friendship. Chu Hyuk-jin admitted he initially found Kim Yong-bin's refined appearance intimidating, thinking they might not become close. Kim Yong-bin reciprocated the sentiment, joking that Chu Hyuk-jin's strong appearance made him seem unapproachable at first, eliciting laughter from the audience.

Actually, Yong-bin has a refined and elegant look, so I thought we wouldn't be able to become close.

Kim Yong-bin's journey in the music industry began in 2004 when he debuted as a trot prodigy. After a hiatus, he made a comeback on 'Trot National Games' and later achieved significant success by winning the competition 'Mr. Trot 3.' He released the single 'Yesterday Was You, Today Is Also You' last year and is currently appearing on TV Chosun's 'Golden Friday.' The 'Trot Best Friends King's Match' special will air in two parts over consecutive weeks.

I also thought Hyuk-jin looked a bit tough, so I thought, 'It won't be easy to get close to this guy.'
