After debuting the British group DEAR ALICE, SM Entertainment is preparing to work on a trot genre Kpop group project. So, what will SM Entertainment's trot genre Kpop group project be like? Take a peek!
Reporting from Soompi, on August 12, 2024, SM Entertainment and TV Chosun launched a collaborative project called T-5. SM Entertainment's trot group will consist of 5 members, including singers from global K-pop trainee 'Mr. Trot' and actors.
A clip of the trot group members was released. It shows 5 tall men standing on the edge of the beach, which further arouses public curiosity. This trot group is also fostered and given direction by Cho Yeong Su, a famous composer in South Korea who also participated in the Mis Trot and Mr. Trot series.
As an introduction to the public, TV Chosun will air a program containing the members' journey to debut, as well as the challenges they face in the industry. The program's trailer is scheduled to air during the Chuseok holiday, which runs from late September to early October, and will be broadcast in both Korea and Japan.
“SM, known for pushing the boundaries of music, is expanding its reach once again. I am happy to collaborate with TV Chosun, a respected name in trot. By combining K-pop and trot, we aim to offer fresh and innovative music. The stories of the five unique members will surely touch the hearts.
I hope everyone will support and look forward to it,” said KREATION Music Rights CEO Lee Sung Su, quoted from Soompi, on August 14, 2024. For your information, trot is a South Korean pop music genre that is very much loved by its citizens, just like Indonesian people who love the dangdut music genre.
The trot and dangdut music genres also have similarities, namely using 2/4 and 3/4 tempos taken from fox trot music for dance accompaniment. Of course, the trot music genre is different from K-pop. The lyrics in the trot music genre usually describe love, sadness, and family.
One of the trot singers whose name is very popular in South Korea is Lim Young Woong. He has many fans including among the elderly, and his songs always succeed in topping the charts. This year, SM Entertainment is ready to introduce their Trot group.
