According to an official in the table tennis industry, Shin Yu-bin began to donate a lot amid a flood of CF proposals from various brands such as food and beverage and sports goods immediately after Shin's return to Korea.
Shin Yu-bin is the most loved star at the Paris Olympics. It was the first time in 32 years that Hyun Jung-hwa won a multi-medal medal in the Olympic Games since the 1992 Barcelona Games. He won a bronze medal in the mixed doubles with Lim Jong-hoon, bringing the first Korean table tennis Olympic medal in 12 years, and the first bronze medal in 16 years since the 2008 Beijing Games in the women's team event with Jeon Ji-hee and Lee Eun-hye. In women's singles, they also reached the semifinals for the first time in 16 years. Above all, he gave joy and emotion to the people with his bright smile, lovely and lively appearance despite the 14-game forced march from July 27 to August 11. In particular, the camera caught him eating bananas, flat peaches, rice balls, and energy gels during the game to replenish his physical strength, and he was greatly loved for his "eating fairy". Along with the sell-out of flat peaches and energy gels, love calls from the advertising and entertainment industries are constantly pouring in.

The donation will be used as a subsidy for overseas training and performance improvement for elementary school students in the future. Shin Yu-bin's eyes are always on young juniors. He has sent snacks to junior competitions on a national scale and donated table tennis supplies to the Elementary Table Tennis Federation every year for young people.
