Comedian Kim Shin-young showcased her unwavering friendship toward her mentor, Jeon Yu-seong.

On the 17th, Kim Shin-young posted a photo on her Instagram story with the message "Come visit." The photo is a promotional poster for "Jeon Yu-seong Without Jeon Yu-seong Show," one of the segments at the 14th Busan International Comedy Festival (BICF, hereinafter referred to as "Bucope").

Kim Shin-young will compete alongside Shin Bong-sun and Zoltan. Earlier, Shin Bong-sun explained, "The students of Eowon University who were Seon Bae-nim-i (Prof.) are the ones we are honoring. We wanted to present a tribute show because it reminded us how much Senior Jeon Yu-seong enjoyed our comedy."

For Kim Shin-young, this marks her return to the comedy stage after a long time to honor her mentor, Jeon Yu-seong. The late Jeon Yu-seong passed away on November 25 last year due to worsening condition while being hospitalized for treatment of lung cancer and pleural effusion. He was 76 years old. Kim Shin-young even left the radio booth to stay by the deceased's side until his final moments, showing exceptional affection.

At the 2025 MBC Entertainment Awards held at the end of last year, Kim Shin-young accepted a merit award on behalf of the late Jeon Yu-seong. She said, "I am Kim Shin-young, a student of Jeon Yu-seong (Prof.). It has been 23 years since we met as teacher and student. I wish Professor Jeon had received this award himself; it would have been wonderful. But he asked me not to trouble him with this. The professor once told me, 'To make people laugh, you must laugh yourself.' From now on, I will become Kim Shin-young who brings joy to myself and to many viewers and audiences."

Meanwhile, the 14th Bucope will run for ten days from August 21 to August 30, starting with an opening performance at BEXCO Auditorium. Lee Hong-ryeol, Shin Bong-sun, Kim Shin-young, and Zoltan will appear in "Jeon Yu-seong Without Jeon Yu-seong Show," which embodies the spirit of the late Jeon Yu-seong who instilled creative inspiration in countless junior comedians, honoring his achievements through laughter.
