Trot singer Shin Sung transformed into Johnny Depp from ‘Pirates of the Caribbean’ to promote his personal YouTube channel, presenting shocking visuals.

Shin Sung started ‘self-enthusiastic promotion’ at Balsan Station in Gangseo-gu, Seoul through his personal YouTube channel, ‘Shin Sung in Goni’. ‘Shin Sung in Goni’ is a channel name that combines his singer name ‘Shin Sung’ and his real name ‘Shin Dong-gon’, and it contains the process of Shin Sung going out on the streets to promote himself to attract the public‘s attention and secure a diverse fan base.

Shin Sung, who transformed into the ‘Ginkgo Bed’ General Hwang in the first episode, ‘Jongno Edition’, chose Jack Sparrow (Johnny Depp) from ‘Pirates of the Caribbean’ as his second ‘sub-character’ and challenged himself with even more daring makeup. That day, Shin Sung-yong appeared at a subway exit instead of a pirate ship and boldly appealed, saying, “I came to Balsan Station to ’show off‘ my charm,” capturing attention.

Afterwards, Shin Sung-yong met with citizens and was at a loss due to people who did not recognize him and repeated refusals to film, but showed a positive mindset and extraordinary passion, saying, “I just have to work harder. The night is long anyway~.” Right after, Shin Sung-yong met a family who called him the ’voice of salvation‘. When asked, “What song comes to mind when you think of singer Shin Sung-yong?”, he tasted ’humiliation‘ by answering the representative song ’Clock Hands‘ by Shin Yoo, a ’singer who looks like him‘.

After many twists and turns, when his family guessed his hit song ‘Even If You Can’t Eat It, GO’, Shinsung was so touched that he immediately entered into a game of ‘Beat Shinsung’, and the family that won the game won the ‘Highest Coupon’, which led to a pleasant prize award ceremony.

Meanwhile, Shinsung, the runner-up of MBN‘s ‘Burning Trotman’, has been active in various broadcasting programs such as MBN’s ‘Burning Rose Group’, ‘Korea-Japan Top Ten Show’, MBC ON‘s ‘Trot Champion’, SBS’s ‘Tail Biting Story (Kkokkomu)’, KBS2‘s ‘Immortal Songs’, and MBC every1’s ‘Smashing Without Hesitation! Ping Pong Stars’.
