On 'Shinsangchulsi Pyeonstaurant,' singer Kim Yong-bin opens up about the difficult past he endured due to panic disorder.

According to the production team of KBS 2TV's variety program 'Shinsangchulsi Pyeonstaurant' (hereinafter 'Pyeonstaurant') on the 30th, the episode airing on May 1 will feature the story of Kim Yong-bin, who won the grand prize in the TV Chosun competition program 'Mr. Trot 3.' Kim Yong-bin is set to share sincere stories about the trials he faced during his 23-year journey as a trot artist and the reasons he was able to overcome them.

In a VCR released during a recent recording, Kim Yong-bin warmly welcomed his friend Choo Hyeok-jin, who had traveled all the way from Daegu just for him. The two became close while appearing together on a trot competition program and are best friends of the same age. Choo Hyeok-jin, the son of a meat restaurant owner, brought a plentiful amount of delicious meat for Kim Yong-bin, while Kim Yong-bin showcased his skills as a 'chicken chef' and prepared various dishes.

Following this, the two began sharing nostalgic stories. Although both are currently busy as leading trot singers, they admitted there were times that were incredibly difficult for them. Kim Yong-bin said, "After graduating from middle school, I went to Japan to pursue singing. It was really hard back then." He explained that not only did he face financial hardships, but he also suddenly went through puberty, which made it impossible for him to sing, and at a young age, he even suffered from panic disorder.

Kim Yong-bin recalled, "I couldn't do anything for seven years and stayed at home," providing detailed accounts of that period. Choo Hyeok-jin also shared, "I was nurturing my dream of becoming a singer, but during my 20s when I had no money, I survived each day on just one bento box." It is reported that the 'Pyeonstaurant' cast members poured out their support upon hearing the two's honest stories. The episode will air on May 1 at 8:30 p.m.
