In the 265th episode of tvN 'You Quiz on the Block', which aired on the 16th, Mariinsky's chief dancer Kim Ki-min appeared to tell the story of joining Mariinsky in Russia and the story of national prestige.
Regarding the reason for joining Mariinsky, Kim Ki-min said, `In my case, there were two visiting professors of Han Ye-jong, and one of them worked as a principal dancer of Mariinsky, but he said 'Get ready for a video on Mariinsky. So I sent it, and as soon as the general manager saw it, he said 'Come to Marinski right away and audition.'" So I went to the audition and showed the stage, and all five judges went out. I was left alone in the hall and thought, 'I didn't do well.' But later it turned out that a teacher named Tatiana Terekova 'There is no meeting today. Everyone go home. If you don't pick him (Kim Ki-min), there's no reason for me to be in Mariinsky. It made me feel good to hear it."

Kim Ki-min "When I joined, there were only two foreigners out of the 300 members. It's one British, one Asian, and it's me."That's not racism, that's what I'm worried about. There are no Korean male dancers on the stage. He was worried about how the Russian audience would see it. Russian audiences are conservative and high-quality. But this person (audience) added 'What would this friend (Kim Ki-min) think?'
Then he "But Mr. Blydimir left a quote. 'Then don't worry about it and set up the main character', he said, drawing admiration.
Kim Ki-min, who finished his first successful solo performance after joining the team, said "There were Russian applause from the middle of the performance. But people said 'It's been a long time since I've clapped while dancing.' He expressed his pride.
In response, Yoo Jae-seok mentioned Kim Ki-min's status and said, `Kim Ki-min's ticket is always a magic. When Kim Ki-min commented, "The ticket price was also the most expensive…", Kim Ki-min said, "Performance allowance and ticket price vary from dancer to dancer. So I asked 'Please lower the ticket price. I don't think it's going to come because it's too expensive. But the tickets are sold out. Tickets cost up to 400,000 won."

Kim Ki-min "He's a man of some financial resources, but he came to see my performance every time. If it were the United States, they would follow us all the way to the United States." "He left a great legacy on his way back. I plan to donate my inheritance" he said, drawing admiration.
