A “Catfish Singer” has set their sights on Kim Yong-bin, the winner (Jin) of ‘Mr. Trot 3’.
On the May 15 broadcast of TV CHOSUN’s ‘Friday Gold’ (hereafter Geum-Geum), the ‘Midas Touch of the Trot World,’ Lee Ho-seop, will make an appearance.
Lee Ho-seop is known to have an impressive repertoire of over 1,000 songs registered with the copyright association.
In this episode, a death match will unfold featuring Lee Ho-seop’s legendary hits that everyone knows by heart, such as ‘Da Hamkke Cha Cha Cha,’ ‘Samgak Gwangye,’ and ‘Chan Chan Chan.’ Amidst the competition, a “Catfish Singer” appears and throws down a challenge to the winner, Kim Yong-bin.
Even before the battle began, Kim Yong-bin showed off his sharp intuition, saying, “I think a catfish will appear around now. I’m starting to smell fishiness.” Just as he predicted, this “Catfish Singer” declared war, specifically requesting to be matched against Kim Yong-bin.
Facing this crisis, Kim Yong-bin makes a bold move by selecting Joo Hyun-mi’s ‘You Who Go to Memories.’ He perfectly delivers the song, which was composed by Joo Hyun-mi’s husband Lim Dong-shin and written by Lee Ho-seop, with his own unique emotional touch. Watching the stage, Lee Ho-seop praised him highly, saying, “As expected of Kim Yong-bin, he lives up to his name. It was like watching a drama.”
However, the “Catfish Singer” is just as formidable. When the intro to Joo Hyun-mi’s ‘Jamkkanman’ played, Kim Yong-bin’s intuition kicked in again, wondering if a senior artist was appearing. It is reported that he froze in place and stood up in shock once the “Catfish Singer’s” identity was finally revealed.
This “Catfish Singer,” who turned the studio upside down just by appearing, reportedly overwhelmed the entire scene instantly with their smooth, twisting singing style.
