Yoon Hyung-bin said on the 26th that `After this week, Yoon Hyung-bin's small theater, the only public comedy theater in Korea that has operated for the past 15 years, will be closed.'
He said "The things I started to enjoy have increased the number of family members and my own household grew, so I spent more than I earned, and there were more things that I felt sorry for and didn't go my way than happy things."The worries deepened, but it is also true that in the days of COVID-19, when comedians lost their place and there was no stage, they couldn't close the door with the thought of protecting even this small stage, no matter how hard and difficult it became."
Then "Maybe...I felt that this was the most appropriate time. Maybe...I also think that I might be making useless nagging about the comedy world, which might have gotten better sooner, standing in the way of something that is lacking in ability. "I've been on stage every day for 15 years in my 30s and 40s, and I've still had a lot of fun. I think it was because of Yoon-so and the audience's jokes that I was able to enjoy every week without knowing the time was passing."
Finally "I'm nervous now, but..I'm going on a new journey that's different than before. It may be unfamiliar, but I will try to take a new path well, just as Yoon-so, who first started without knowing anything, opened the door and settled down after twists and turns. Thank you so much for loving "Yoon Hyungbin Small Theater" he said hello.
Located near Hongik University in Mapo-gu, Seoul, the 「Yunhyeong Bin Small Theater」 is the second comedy-only venue opened by Yunhyeong-bin after Busan in 2015.
Comedians who have passed through this place include Shin Yoon-seung, Jo Su-yeon, and Park Min-sung, who are appearing in the 「Gag Concert」, as well as Jung Chan-min, Shin Shin Shin-jin, and Kim Hae-jun.

Hello, I'm Yunhyeongbin, the theater director of Yunhyeongbin Small Theater.
I don't know where to start...
Last week, the only public comedy theater in Korea that has operated for the past 15 years, Yunhyeong-bin Small Theater, will be closed.
From Busan to Hongik University, many people went through and had many memories.
At first, I started a little in Busan thinking that I wanted to be funny and perform...
As the audience gradually increased and there were friends who wanted to learn gag, there was a sense of mission to foster good talents and create good corners in the gag industry, and there seemed to be a desire to grow it into a good business.
As the number of family members has increased and their own households have grown, there have been more spending than profits and more unfortunate and unexpected things than pleasant things.
My worries deepened, but it's also true that in the days of COVID, when comedians lost their place and there was no stage, I couldn't bring myself to shut down because I thought I should keep this small stage no matter how hard and difficult it gets...
Thankfully, KBS's CP Kim Sang-mi re-launched 'Gag Concert' after a year of struggle..
Still, I thought that now another small foundation has been laid for comedians to get back on their feet.
All of my fellow juniors who were performing together are supporting me at the 'Gag Concert'..
When I see more and more viewers, it's a joke..And I'm a little relieved that there are a lot of people who are interested in comedians.
Maybe... I thought this was the right time.
Maybe... I don't have enough ability to stand in my way
Maybe it got better sooner in the gag world..I also think that I might be nagging for no reason.
I've been on stage every day for 15 years in my 30s and 40s, and it's been a lot of fun.
I think it was because of Yoon-so and the audience's jokes that I was able to enjoy every week without knowing the time.
After that, we will announce the details and operation of "Yun So Performance" at @seoul_gag.
I'm nervous now, but..I'm going on a new journey that's different than before.
It's unfamiliar, but..Just as Yoon-so, who started recklessly without knowing anything for the first time, opened the door and settled down after twists and turns, I will take another good path.
Thank you so much for loving "Yunhyeong Bin Small Theater".
I'm having a great time!!!!!
