[Edaily Starin YUN GI BACK Reporter] Singer Kim Yong-bin will continue his partnership with his current agency, OneStar Company, despite recruitment offers from major entertainment agencies.

According to OneStar Company on the 19th, Kim Yong-bin recently received exclusive contract offers from several major entertainment agencies but decided to remain with his current agency. He chose the trust and partnership built over a long period of time over better contract terms.
Kim Yong-bin rose to prominence as a new star in the trot music scene after winning the grand prize on TV Chosun’s “Mr. Trot 3.” Since then, he has expanded his presence through various TV appearances and performances and continues to enjoy high popularity, including winning four awards at the “2026 K-Trot Grand Awards.”
Amid this upward trajectory, he received a series of recruitment offers from major entertainment agencies, but Kim Yong-bin decided to continue his relationship with the agency that has stood by him since his difficult early days.
Kim Yong-bin, who debuted at age 7 and gained attention as a “trot prodigy,” went through a hiatus of about seven years due to voice changes and panic disorder. Throughout this period, One Star Company supported Kim Yong-bin’s comeback, and the two have built a strong relationship of trust.
This decision to remain with his current agency is significant in that an artist at the peak of his career prioritized trust and a history of collaboration with his existing agency over the size of a potential contract. In particular, by maintaining his existing partnership at a time when his scope of activities is expanding following his victory on “Mr. Trot 3,” he has secured continuity for his future music and performance activities.
OneStar Company also plans to strengthen its support for Kim Yong-bin’s activities. The agency intends to establish a dedicated production system to support him in venturing beyond trot into various music genres, while also expanding his scope of activities to include television appearances and live performances.
The agency stated, “We will establish a dedicated production system to further highlight Kim Yong-bin’s unique musical style, and we will spare no effort in providing full support so that he can showcase his talents across various fields, including diverse music genres, broadcasting, and live performances.”
