Trot singer Kim Yong-bin reported a changed status.
On the 20th, the KBS1 program 'Morning Yard' featured the 'Tuesday Invitation' corner, where Shin Yong-bin, Son Bin-a, and Cheon Rok-dam, who secured the title of 'Mr. Trot 3' (眞善美), appeared.
Kim Yong-bin said, 'Since appearing on the audition program, the number of fan club members has increased 20-fold. It's about 25,000 people. Recently, I went to an event, and about 40 buses came. Over a thousand people showed up, and I was surprised. I was so touched that I hope a day comes when I can return the favor.'
Son Bin-a said, 'I came wearing a hat and a mask because I caught a cold, and when Shin Yong-bin was doing an interview, I sat next to him, but I think he mistook me for a manager,' sharing a funny yet embarrassing story. Son Bin-a laughed, saying, 'After coming in second, more people started to recognize me. Now, they can recognize me just by my silhouette, and I'm getting a lot of requests for autographs and photos. Still, I can walk around comfortably.'
Cheon Rok-dam said, 'Nine out of ten people recognize me as Cheon Rok-dam. I've been active for a long time with this name, but before 'Mr. Trot 3', even if people recognized me, they would hesitate to approach. However, now that I'm active as Cheon Rok-dam, they come up to me in a friendly manner, and I'm grateful for that. The age group of my fans has also increased; women in their 50s to 70s like me.'
