'The Man from Nowhere' Kim Yong-bin revealed that he was cast by Lee Soo-man in the past.
On the 10th, SBS's 'The Man from Nowhere' featured the main characters of 'Mr. Trot 3,' Kim Yong-bin, Son Bin-a, Choon-gil, Choi Jae-myung, and Chu Hyuk-jin, showcasing an unprecedented chemistry with the other cast members.
Kim Yong-bin, who was known as a trot prodigy, debuted at the age of 13 with KBS. Kim Yong-bin explained, "I was raised by my grandmother. My grandmother received a singing proposal from composer Park Chun-seok. At that time, there was significant opposition, so she worked in the beauty industry. While listening to songs together, I ended up singing trot before children's songs," drawing attention.
Choon-gil stated that during his time as The Man from Nowhere, he appeared with Kim Yong-bin on 'Challenge 1000 Songs' and recalled that Kim Yong-bin later referred to him as "The Man from Nowhere," bringing laughter.
Kim Yong-bin explained, "I also grew up. Now I call him 'hyung' (older brother), but back then, he looked like 'The Man from Nowhere.' That's how I remember saying, 'It's been a while, The Man from Nowhere.'"
Kim Yong-bin, who said he was cast multiple times by large entertainment agencies to become an idol but declined, recalled, "I appeared as a guest on an MBC entertainment program. Lee Soo-man, the CEO, said he wanted to see me, so I went to his office. He said he was forming a group called SHINee and would like me to join."
