Kim Yong-bin discovers Nam Seung-min's secret safe

Trot singer Kim Yong-bin visited junior Nam Seung-min's studio apartment, where he drew attention by opening a private safe that Nam had not even shown to his parents. Inside the safe, a small amount of gold, an Hermes wallet received from Kim, and pocket money were kept intact, revealing the special bond between the two.

In the 334th episode of KBS2's 'Stars' Top Recipe at Fun-Staurant' aired on the 20th, Kim's visit to Nam's home and a glimpse into his daily life were revealed.

While looking around the house, Kim discovered a small safe in the master bedroom. Seeing this, Boom asked, "Why do all trot singers keep safes at home?" wondering if they accumulate a lot of cash after performances.

Recalling the culture of events in the past, Kim explained, "It used to be like that. Twenty years ago, they used to give cash and gold rings."

Regarding the reason for getting the safe, Nam revealed, "They say if you keep a safe at home, money comes in," adding, "I made a big decision to buy it." In particular, he expressed his trust in Kim by saying, "I didn't even tell my parents," and "I am only showing this to you, hyung."

When Nam opened the safe, the items inside were more modest than expected. Along with 0.2g of gold, there was an Hermes wallet Kim gave him as a birthday present and pocket money received at a concert.

Regarding the Hermes wallet, Nam said, "Hyung gave this to me as a birthday present. It's so precious that I don't use it." He also confessed about the cash, saying, "This is the pocket money hyung gave me at the concert venue to go to Hawaii," and "Since it's money hyung gave me, I felt it was a waste to spend it."

This is why attention was focused on the meaning of the items in the safe rather than their monetary value. To Nam, the gifts and pocket money from Kim were closer to keepsakes of a senior who cares for him, rather than money meant for consumption.

Regarding his relationship with Kim, Nam said, "Both hyung and I don't have siblings, so we are lonely," and "Hyung gave me an expensive card wallet for my birthday and even took me to a skin care clinic." He continued to express his gratitude, saying, "He is a thankful hyung."

Kim also revealed why he thinks so highly of Nam. He shared, "Seung-min is the head of the household," and "He gives pocket money to his parents and intends to buy them a house." He added, "He is at an age where he wants to do many things, and I understand that feeling well."

The relationship between the two is seen as more than just senior and junior in the trot industry, but as a bond where they complement each other's lack of family. The small gold, wallet, and cash kept in the safe left a quiet resonance with viewers as items symbolizing trust and affection rather than economic value.
