Shin Yu-bin (20, Korean Air) has a new modifier. It is a 'legitimate military service broker'. Shin Yu-bin wrote a new history on the 30th (Korean time). He was paired with Lim Jong-hoon (27, Korea Exchange) and won a bronze medal in mixed doubles. Shin Yu-bin and Lim Jong-hunjo beat 'Hong Kong ace team' Wong Chun-ting and Du Hoi-kem team (4th in the world) to a perfect 4-0 game score (11-5 11-7 11-7 14-12). With Shin Yu-bin's strong performance, Korean table tennis has won an Olympic medal for the first time in 12 years since the men's team silver medal at the 2012 London Games.
It was a special medal for Im Jong-hoon. He wrote a 'Drama' with military service benefits just 20 days before he joined the army. Im Jong-hoon performed a show of hands salute ceremony. Netizens interpreted it as meaning 'disposal'. Im Jong-hoon "If the military exemption didn't bother you, it's a lie. I wondered if I was weird, but I decided to admit it because Jang Woo-jin, a teammate of the national team, said 'If you don't care, you're not a person'" "Thank you Yubin "
How did Im Jong-hoon express his gratitude. Shin Yoo-bin, who immediately played in the singles match on the 31st, told the back story. Shin Yu-bin laughed "Jong-hoon said he would do anything for me" and "I don't want anything."
He also told me about the historical scene in which South and North Korean players took selfies together. After the award ceremony, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) and the 'TOP Sponsor' Samsung organized a 'Victory Selfie' time for this competition. After Im Jong-hoon took a selfie mode with his long arm holding Samsung Z Flip 6, Chinese ace Sun Ying-sha suggested taking another shot with the opposite background. Chinese and inter-Korean table tennis aces left the best moments of their lives together with happy selfies. It was a rather rigid pose, but Kim Geum-yong and Lee Jung-sik were also willing to take selfies. Shin Yu-bin "The official decided in advance that Jong-hoon should hold his phone", he explained.

Shin Yu-bin's popularity is increasing, and his 'Eating Show' is also a hot topic. Shin Yu-bin was seen eating bananas during the game and eating rice balls and peaches when he went to the swimming game, attracting fans' attention. Shin Yu-bin "Mom came to Paris. They make me rice balls or fried tofu rice balls that I like every game. I just ate it and it was filmed. I didn't know. Everyone said, 'You're eating well.'"
We also exchanged 'Talk' with Kim Je-deok, the archery team's best friend. Shin Yu-bin sent a microphone emoji saying, "Suddenly, how do you feel about winning a medal?" So 'It's just nice, I'm a little tired, Je-deok also replied, 'Way to go.'"
Shin Yu-bin defeated Hungary's Giorina Fota (9-1 11-9 11-4 11-1 11-9 11-1 11-9) in the round of 32 women's singles at the 2024 Paris Olympics at South Paris Arena 4 in France. Shin Yu-bin, who lost in the round of 32 at the last Tokyo Games, surpassed his performance at the time. Shin Yu-bin will compete with Lily Zhang of the U.S. in the quarterfinals at the same place on the 1st. Shin Yu-bin laughed, `I think I've grown more than I did in Tokyo.'
