Singer Goes Viral For Almost Debuting As A Member Of SHINee

The most recent episode of KBS’s Man in the Mirror featured guests who were all winners of a recent trot survival program.

In particular, Kim Yong Bin, the winner of the trot show, surprised everyone after revealing a past offer he once received.

It turns out that he received an offer to become a member of SHINee from former SM producer Lee Soo Man.

I turned down the offer because I liked trot music so much.

Jun Hyun Moo responded, “You have a luxurious face. You have the SM visuals.”

Netizens felt that he had great complexion and that he looked similar to a SHINee member.

• “He looks rich. If you see people like this in person, they are really radiant compared to those who dress up and have sharp features.”
• “I can only see his complexion…wow.”
• “His skin complexion is crazy.”
• “He gives off Onew vibes…”

Meanwhile, Kim Yong Bin garnered attention for ranking first in popularity votes for eight weeks, a record not even trot king Lim Young Woong could achieve.
