Korean Trot(Music)
From Wikipedia, --
Trot, pronounced as "teuroteu" in Korean (sometimes called ppongjjak, due to its distinctive background rhythm), is the oldest form of Korean pop music. It developed in the years before and during the Japanese occupation. Famous interpreters of this genre are South Korean singers Tae Jin Ah and Song Dae Gwan. Rock musician such as Cho Yong Pil also performed this type of music.
Trot music has received criticism from nationalists, who allege that it derives from the Japanese music genre of enka, especially its scale. Defenders of trot, however, claim that it had begun to develop prior to the Japanese invasion, and simply developed in parallel with the Japanese style. The name itself derives from a shortening of "foxtrot", a ballroom dance which influenced the characteristic simple beat of the genre.
The popularity of trot music declined seriously in 1990s due to the great hit of "Hayeoga" by Seo Taiji and Boys. After that, dance music was the main stream of Korean pop music and trot was pushed into minor genre in Korean pop music scene.
This style of music has recovered its popularity due to the emergence of "semi-trot" singers such as Jang Yoon Jeong (장윤정), who had great crossover success with her first single "어머나!" ("Eomeona!" - an exclamation similar to "Oh my goodness!"). This has led to both an increased awareness of older trot musicians and the debut of other singers and groups wanting to capitalize on the genre's comeback (including LPG and Super Junior-T).
