Singer Shin Yoo shares the same rice with Kim Yeon-ja.
On the 9th, his agency, Choi Creative Lab (CEO Choi Shin-kyu, hereinafter Choi Lab), said, "We recently signed an exclusive contract with Shinyu. We will generously support our trot specialized planning and management know-how so that Shinyu can carry out wider and more colorful activities. We ask for your anticipation and interest," he said.
Shin Yu is a 19-year veteran trot singer who debuted with Sleeping Princess in 2008. It is greatly loved for its unique deep voice and solid singing ability, and has numerous hit songs such as "Ilso Ilso Ilno Ilno," "Watch Needle," and "Flower Water."
In particular, based on a wide musical spectrum that digests from traditional trot to mournful ballads, he has steadily expanded his scope by participating in various drama OSTs.



In addition, it has formed a strong fandom early on with its warm visuals and unique stage manners, gaining the nickname "EXO of the trot world," and is gaining popularity as much as idols.
In recent years, as well as music and performance activities, he has appeared in various competition programs such as the "Burning Trotman" Master, the "Standing Singer" Special National Producer, and the "Unknown Legend" TOP Prodan, revealing his presence as a trot legend.
Meanwhile, Choi Lab currently includes trot singers from all generations, including Soyeon Kim, Hong Ji-yoon, brothers Hwang Min-woo and Hwang Min-ho, and Yu Su-bi, as well as girl groups Hikki (Seoyi, Riina, Hwiseo, and Yell), starting with Kim Yeon-ja, the "Trot Queen." With the addition of Shin Yu, Choi Lab has completed a more solid and colorful trot lineup.
