Comedian Yoon Hyung-bin is set to make his professional wrestling debut in a match against Japan.
Yunso Group announced on the 16th that "Comedian Yoon Hyung-bin will face legendary Japanese wrestler Tajiri at 'PWS Wrestlenation: Project 3000,' which will be held on May 10th."
'PWS Wrestlenation: Project 3000 (hereinafter Wrestlenation)' is a major project prepared by the Professional Wrestling Society (PWS) with the goal of attracting 3,000 paying spectators, marking a significant achievement in the history of Korean professional wrestling. In this event, Yoon Hyung-bin will engage in an unprecedented match against the Japanese wrestler Tajiri, battling for pride between Korea and Japan, as well as among those in their 40s and 50s.
Beloved by the public for 20 years, Yoon Hyung-bin has worked across various fields as a comedian, broadcaster, martial artist, and CEO of content production company Yunso Group. This will be his first attempt to challenge professional wrestling.
Yoon Hyung-bin's challenge began in March during the 'PWS Spring Slam.' At that time, fellow comedian Oh Jeong-tae and Oh Ji-hyun, who performed as guest singers, were attacked by PWS Champion Shiho, prompting Yoon Hyung-bin to resolve to step into the ring to avenge his colleagues.
Yoon Hyung-bin is currently focused on rigorous training under the guidance of professional wrestler Jin Gae-seong. He is preparing to show impressive skills to PWS wrestlers, including Shiho.
Tajiri, Yoon Hyung-bin's opponent for his professional wrestling debut, was born in 1970 and is a veteran wrestler with 29 years of experience, making him one of the most successful Japanese wrestlers in the world. He rose to prominence after joining ECW in 1998 and became a Cruiserweight and Tag Team Champion in WWE (then WWF).
Yoon Hyung-bin stated, "Professional wrestling is the root of combat sports. I will prove that even a comedian can be scary when provoked, as I step into the ring. I will showcase an unforgettable performance at this Wrestlenation."
Meanwhile, following his participation in 'Wrestlenation' in May, Yoon Hyung-bin is also set to face creator Banz in a martial arts match at Road FC in June.
