"There could be a national team among the players here. I hope we can work hard and lead the Korean table tennis together."

The nationwide youth table tennis festival with Shin Yu-bin (20, Korean Air) was held at Dangjin Indoor Gymnasium in Chungnam on the 16th. The popularity of Shin Yu-bin, the women's table tennis team event and mixed doubles bronze medalist at the Paris Olympics, seemed to soar. Elementary school students tried to take pictures with Shin Yu-bin. When Shin Yu-bin arrived "Yahhhhhhhhhhhhh!" "Shin Yubin!" There was an outpouring of cheers. Are you Shin Yubin?," he asked repeatedly, raising each of them on tiptoe.

The competition was made at the suggestion of Dangjin City when Shin Yu-bin became an official model for Dangjin Haenaru rice in September. In the first youth competition named Shin Yu-bin, a total of 300 teams from 65 elementary school prospects participated, and the heat was hot. Along with Dangjin City, Shin Yu-bin also invited Mongolian youth players. He wanted to give young players who lacked experience in the competition a 'opportunity'. Dangjin-si provided air tickets, and Shin Yu-bin provided accommodation and meal tickets for Lotte Hotel, where he is working as a model. Dreamers of Mongolian table tennis took a commemorative photo with Shin Yu-bin shouting "Way to go!"
