Kim Yong-bin, the winner of 'Mr. Trot 3', is actively engaging with fans across the country through various performances. He is set to take the stage at the opening ceremony of the '2026 Ulsan Whale Festival' on October 15.
This year marks the 30th anniversary of the Ulsan Whale Festival, which will run from October 15 to 18. The festival, themed 'Invitation of the Whale: A 30th Birthday Party', will feature a variety of programs, including opening and closing ceremonies, performances, and community participation events.
On the first day of the festival, Kim Yong-bin will perform as a guest artist, entertaining both local residents and tourists.
Following the Ulsan event, he will join the 'Mr. Trot 3' TOP7 members for a national concert tour.
The 'Mr. Trot 3' TOP7 concert, titled 'Again, Us', will kick off on October 31 at KBS Hall in Busan. The Busan performances will take place over two days, concluding on November 1, followed by a show at Kyungpook National University Auditorium in Daegu on November 7.
Subsequent performances are scheduled for November 14 and 15 at the Daeyang Hall of Sejong University in Seoul. A total of nine shows are planned across three cities, starting in Busan and moving to Daegu and Seoul.
The concert will feature Kim Yong-bin alongside fellow 'Mr. Trot 3' TOP7 members Son Bin-a, Cheon Rok-dam, Chun-gil, Choi Jae-myung, Nam Seung-min, and Chu Hyuk-jin. The members, who have continued to collaborate since the competition, will showcase their individual songs and talents.
Kim Yong-bin achieved a turning point in his music career by winning the TV Chosun trot competition 'Mr. Trot 3' last year. He debuted in 2003 and has gained recognition after years of hard work.
Last month, he released a new song titled 'Only You', which has been well-received for its blend of piano melodies and orchestral sounds, complemented by Kim Yong-bin's distinctive, emotive voice.
