Comedian Kim Shin-young continues her active appearances on 'Knowing Bros' following her stint on 'I Live Alone'.
According to StarNews' investigation on the 21st, Kim Shin-young is scheduled to participate in the recording of JTBC's variety show 'Knowing Bros' on the 23rd. This marks her third consecutive appearance, following her appearances on the 9th and 16th. During the previous recording on the 16th, idol stars Lee Ki-kwang, Soyou, Sandeul, and Sung Han-bin joined as guests.
Earlier, Kim Shin-young made a special appearance as a transfer student on the 'Knowing Bros' episode aired on the 18th, drawing significant attention. During her guest appearance in February, she revealed updates on her weight change from the 40kg range she had maintained for 12 years, sparking widespread discussion. Her unique wit and variety sense brought great laughter. Following this active performance, she was invited to join as a special transfer student.
It was reported that Kim Shin-young plans to consistently participate by clearing her schedule for the weekly Thursday recordings. Unless any unexpected changes occur, she is expected to join every recording session, and the production team is positively considering her appointment as a permanent member. This effectively signals a green light for her permanent appearance.
However, Kim Shin-young's appearance was not included in the trailer released at the end of the episode aired on the 18th, raising curiosity. It was confirmed that this episode was filmed before Kim Shin-young joined. Guests included Kim Jong-seo, Kang Kyun-sung, Im Jung-hee, Wendy, and Kim Jae-hwan.
Meanwhile, Kim Shin-young recently appeared on MBC's variety show 'I Live Alone', generating significant buzz. She attracted attention with her daily life as a 14-year solo dweller and her persona as a happy maximalist who loves herself. After Park Na-rae's consecutive departures caused a dip in ratings for 'I Live Alone', the ratings rebounded following Kim Shin-young's addition. The ratings rose from 4.5% to 6.1% (based on Nielsen Korea national standards).
'I Live Alone' plans to conduct additional filming with Kim Shin-young, who contributed to the ratings rebound. The filming schedule remains undecided. Although she was initially expected to join the studio recording on the 20th, it was reported that the schedule is being rescheduled. The production team is expected to decide on Kim Shin-young's permanent status by considering her chemistry with existing members, ratings performance, and public interest.
