Nowadays, the hottest athlete in Korean table tennis has to be Shen Yubin, her popularity in South Korea is equivalent to our Sun Yingsha, her popularity is much higher than that of Tian Zhixi, Xu Xiaoyuan and others, and the endorsement is even softer.
Recently, Shen Yubin has received endorsements from many Korean brands, and she is now so popular in South Korea, in addition to the appearance of the young and lovely goddess, it is the so-called CP scandal between her and Wang Chuqin.
When Shen Yubin accepted the endorsement, he was naturally asked about Wang Chuqin again, but Shen Yubin did not twist, and said bluntly: It is a pity that Wang Chuqin did not come to Incheon last time, and I look forward to seeing him at the World Cup in Macau. When asked if Wang Chuqin is his idol, Shen Yubin said that Wang Chuqin is a real big star and hopes to be as good as him.
In fact, it is not the first time that Shen Yubin's good impression of Wang Chuqin has been revealed, when he appeared on a Korean variety show before, Shen Yubin said that Wang Chuqin was my Oba, looking proud and shy.
As we all know, Oba is a nickname for a Korean girl for an attractive adult man. At that time, the Korean variety show host also became a melon-eating crowd, and Shin Yubin was excited and performed a gesture dance for everyone. It was also from that time that the fact that Shin Yubin was Wang Chuqin's super fan sister spread from Korean public opinion.
At the Singapore Grand Slam some time ago, Shen Yubin, who reached the mixed doubles final, also had the opportunity to face his idol Wang Chuqin in the final for the first time. It can be said that Shen Yubin is the highest level of pursuit, chasing from a fan girl to a final opponent.
In fact, Wang Chuqin has never responded to Shen Yubin's fanatical star-chasing behavior, just Shen Yubin's simple fanatical star-chasing behavior, but after all, they are all people in the table tennis circle, when Shen Yubin found Wang Chuqin and wanted to take a group photo, Wang Chuqin naturally could only be satisfied.
Perhaps because of the CP scandal with Wang Chuqin, Shin Yubin has become very popular in the Korean table tennis world, and his popularity is not even inferior to that of Korean entertainment stars.
Of course, Shen Yubin does not rely on CP and beautiful appearance, and her table tennis results are also obvious to all.
Shin Yubin has been making a name for herself in table tennis since 2019, winning the mixed doubles title with Zhao Dacheng at the Czech Open that year. In addition, she also won the gold medal in the women's doubles event of table tennis at the 19th Asian Games in Hangzhou with Tian Zhixi in 2023. Shin Yubin has also received high recognition in China, and she was selected as the Most Outstanding Player (MVP) award of the Korean Table Tennis Association in 2023.
These achievements have made her attract attention in South Korea, and she has also gained a lot of otaku fans.
However, for Shen Yubin, perhaps being able to hit the opposite side of Wang Chuqin's table is her biggest motivation.
