Comedian Kim Shin-young continues to make her mark on 'Knowing Bros' after appearing on 'I Live Alone'. Following the buzz generated by her weight changes, her consecutive appearances have raised expectations for her joining the show as a fixed member.

According to a StarNews report on the 21st, Kim Shin-young is scheduled to participate in the recording of the JTBC variety show 'Knowing Bros' on the 23rd. This marks her third consecutive appearance, following episodes on the 9th and 16th. The previous recording on the 16th featured guest appearances by idol stars Lee Gi-kwang, Soyou, Sandeul, and Sung Han-bin.

Kim Shin-young made a special appearance as a transfer student on the 'Knowing Bros' episode aired on the 18th, drawing attention. She blended naturally with the existing members and delivered her part effectively. The production team is positively considering selecting Kim Shin-young as a fixed member based on her performance.

Earlier, on February 28, Kim Shin-young sparked buzz by revealing changes in her weight, which she had maintained in the 40kg range for 12 years, during her guest appearance. Her unique wit and variety sense brought great laughter. Recognized for her performance, she returned as a special transfer student about a month and a half later, proving her presence.

During her return appearance, 'Knowing Bros' member Kang Ho-dong remarked, "When you transferred in back then, you had come back a little, but seeing you today, you've completely come back," referencing Kim Shin-young's yo-yo effect. Kim Shin-young coolly admitted, "I've completely come back," eliciting laughter.

It was reported that Kim Shin-young is planning to clear her schedule and participate consistently for the recordings held every Thursday. Unless there are any major variables, she is expected to continue joining the recordings. This effectively signals a green light for a fixed appearance. Expectations are high as to whether she, as the only female member, can inject new energy into the program.

However, the preview released at the end of the episode aired on the 18th did not feature Kim Shin-young, raising curiosity. It was confirmed that this episode was filmed before Kim Shin-young joined the cast. Guests included Kim Jong-seo, Kang Kyun-sung, Im Jung-hee, Wendy, and Kim Jae-hwan.

Meanwhile, Kim Shin-young recently sparked buzz by appearing on the MBC variety show 'I Live Alone'. She drew attention with her daily life as a 14-year independent resident and her persona as a happy maximalist who loves herself. The ratings for 'I Live Alone', which had stagnated due to the consecutive departures of Park Na-rae and Kim, rebounded after Kim Shin-young's addition. The ratings rose from 4.5% to 6.1% (Nielsen Korea nationwide standard).

'I Live Alone' plans to conduct additional filming with Kim Shin-young, who contributed to the ratings rebound. The filming schedule is yet to be determined. 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 fixed appearance based on factors such as her chemistry with existing members, ratings, and buzz.
