Trot, pronounced as "teuroteu" in Korean (sometimes called ppongjjak, due to its distinctive background rhythm), is the oldest form of Korean pop music. It was developed in the years before and during World War II around the early 1900s. Famous interpreters of this genre are South Korean singers Tae Jin Ah and Song Dae Gwan. Rock musicians such as Cho Yong Pil also performed this type of music.
The name derives from a shortening of "foxtrot", a ballroom dance which influenced the simple two-beat of elements of the genre. Trot music is described as two-beat rhythm or duple rhythm, traditional seven-five syllabic stanzas, and unique vocal style called Gagok.[1]
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, Super Junior-T, Epik High, and Daesung of Big Bang).
Origin
The trot was influenced from Japanese Enka during the occupation by Japan. [2] [3] [4] [5]
In 1960s, the Broadcast Ethics Committee of the South-Korean government banned popular trot songs because of its overt Japanese musical influence.[6]
In 1984, the origin of trot was fiercely debated among the Korean scolars. [7] [8]
