Shin Yu-bin, who advanced to the semifinals of the women's singles table tennis at the Paris Olympics, is once again attracting netizens' attention with her 'tiny snack attack' during the match.

On the night of the 1st, online posts titled "Today’s Still the Same Shin Yu-bin Mukbang" were widely shared. These included images of Shin Yu-bin with an ice pack on her head eating an energy gel, and Shin Yu-bin nodding while O Kwang-heon, the director, was speaking and she was taking out and eating a banana.

Shin Yu-bin said, "I didn't know that this was my first time reaching the semifinals in 20 years, but I just played each game and ended up with such a good result," and added, "It's not over yet. I will eat well, rest well, analyze my opponents thoroughly, and improve my performance to prepare for the match."

She also expressed gratitude to her mother for bringing snacks such as bananas and rice balls all the way to Paris. Shin Yu-bin said, "If I hadn't eaten the snacks, I don't think I could have won the 7th game. I was so exhausted that I lost strength from time to time," and laughed, "I think the fact that I ate the rice balls and bananas made by my mom was a key factor in my victory."
