[Seoul=RNX News] Reporter Kim Yae-eun = Trot prince Kim Yong-bin joins ENA’s ‘It’s Okay Even If You’re Bad with Directions’ as the third member of the ‘Directionally Challenged Club’.
With his meticulously elegant perfectionist image that has been loved, he is expected to reveal a forthcoming interview on the program showing his human charm and humorous contrast, raising anticipation further.
In the previous broadcast of ENA’s ‘It’s Okay Even If You’re Bad with Directions’, Kim Yong-bin made a surprise appearance in the studio and gained much attention by completing the ‘Directionally Challenged Club’ with Park Ji-hyun and Son Tae-jin. Curiosity was stimulated with the release of a preview video showcasing Kim Yong-bin’s full-scale journey.
His first travel destination is Mokpo, a city of gastronomy. However, he dramatically confessed “I wandered around for hours when all I needed to do was cross a single traffic light,” raising expectations for his ‘directional challenges’ to the highest point.
The reason Kim Yong-bin took on the challenge of a travel variety show for the first time is that he “likes traveling but isn’t good at doing it alone. I wanted to learn how to travel alone through ‘It’s Okay Even If You’re Bad with Directions’.” Additionally, “I thought it might become an opportunity to inform someone else about traveling, so I decided to take on the challenge.”
However, he revealed a ‘bittersweet’ behind-the-scenes story that his highest level of being bad with directions appeared right from the first travel, surprising even himself, but he continued the journey with a positive mindset by stating, “I do follow navigation well.”
Most importantly, the fact that he is the ‘perfect prince who wants to avoid the sun,’ making a parasol a necessity even normally, is forecasted to be a point of enjoyment on his journey. Rumor has it that he showcased perfect self-management during this travel by equipping himself with a full set of gloves, a parasol, and arm sleeves.
Lastly, Kim Yong-bin expressed his wish to “come across more familiarly with the human side shown in the ‘Directionally Challenged Club’ rather than the perfect image on stage,” leaving a viewing point that he hopes viewers could laugh and enjoy alongside ‘the human Kim Yong-bin’ in ‘It’s Okay Even If You’re Bad with Directions’.
The moment where the perfectionist on stage Kim Yong-bin puts down his face, and the pure laughter blooming out of travel is garnering expectations.
The entertainment program where directionally challenged celebrities tackle customized travels designed by creators ‘It’s Okay Even If You’re Bad with Directions’ Episode 4 will be broadcasted on the upcoming 8th, Saturday evening at 7:50 PM on ENA.
