More about Yoon Min Soo

Yoon Min Soo is one of Korea's most popular ballad singers. He is mostly known for being a part of the legendary group Vibe. He tied the knot with Kim Min Ji in 2006, and the two of them had a son named Yoon Hoo that same year. The family's involvement in MBC's Dad! Where Are We Going? from 2013 to 2015 brought them a great deal of praise, which strengthened their reputation in South Korea. 

In 2002, the trio version of the South Korean R&B group Vibe made their debut on the music scene. Yoon Min Soo, Ryu Jae Hyun, and rapper Yoo Sung Gyu were among the vocalists. Yoo Sung Gyu, however, left the group following the release of their second album. Vibe continued to top the charts, therefore his departure had no detrimental effects.

Despite the shift, the group was able to make waves in the music scene thanks to hits like Come Back to Me, Drinking, That Man, That Woman, Long Long Time, Love Me Once Again, and While Looking at the Picture.
