My Take
Kim Jong-min earns my respect for sheer longevity. Born in Seoul's Dobong District and educated at Mokwon University, he has sung with the co-ed group Koyote since 2000 while becoming a beloved fixture on 2 Days & 1 Night since 2007, even winning the KBS Entertainment Grand Prize in 2016. Crossing successfully from chart success into variety television demands both a likable persona and real grit, and the way he warms a room while seeming effortlessly natural is something I genuinely enjoy. Staying loved on the same program for well over a decade is rare in any entertainment industry, and that consistency deserves applause.
