Singer Shin Yoo is joining the 'Legend of the Unknown' as a legend.
According to MBN on the 1st, Shin Yoo has been selected as a legend of 'Legend of the Unknown - The Ranking War of Trot Men' (hereinafter 'Legend of the Unknown'), following Nam Jin, Jo Hang-jo, and Joo Hyun-mi.
In an interview with the production team, Shin Yoo stated, "While I have been watching the stage as an audition master, after 'Current King of Masked Singer 2', I have come to understand the hearts of my juniors better than anyone else. Having experienced it, I can provide sharper insights," hinting at the birth of a cold-hearted master of sarcasm.
Along with the news of Shin Yoo's selection as a legend, a new teaser for 'Legend of the Unknown' was also released. In the video, Shin Yoo is seen sitting in a chair with a blank nameplate, surrounded by chairs engraved with the names of legends such as 'Patti Kim, Lee Mi-ja, Nam Jin, Na Hoon-a, Jo Yong-pil, Shim Soo-bong, Seol Woon-do, Jo Hang-jo, Joo Hyun-mi, and Jang Yoon-jung', heightening the tension. He then stands up and gestures towards the camera, saying, "The main character of this seat is you," foreshadowing the birth of the next legend in the trot world.
Shin Yoo, a singer with 18 years of experience, has released numerous hit songs such as 'Sleeping Princess', 'Clock Hands', 'Half', 'Juliet', and 'Ilso Ilso Ilno Ilno', boasting an idol-level fandom and has been referred to as the EXO of the trot world. Lim Young-woong has mentioned, "I received the Grand Prize in 'National Singing Contest' with Shin Yoo's song," and he has been regarded as a role model that juniors aspire to emulate.
Mentioned as the original idol of the trot world, he has also served as a master in 'Burning Trotman' and as a special national producer in 'Current King of Masked Singer'. Recently, he participated as a contestant in 'Current King of Masked Singer 2', personally experiencing the tension and earnestness of fierce competition.
Previously, 'Legend of the Unknown' garnered explosive attention with the confirmation of MCs Jang Min-ho and Kim Dae-ho, along with news of the participation of living legends in the trot world such as Nam Jin, Joo Hyun-mi, and Jo Hang-jo.
'Legend of the Unknown' is open to any man who loves trot, regardless of age, nationality, or experience. The second round of participant recruitment is ongoing until the 10th. 'Legend of the Unknown' will premiere in February next year.
