Na Hoon-a (Korean: 나훈아; born Choe Hong-gi, Korean: 최홍기 on February 11, 1947) is a South Korean trot singer who debuted in 1966.[1] He is referred to as the "Emperor of Trot" due to his charismatic personality and powerful voice.[2] He was one of the country's most popular singers of the 1970s alongside his rival Nam Jin.[3] Na made international headlines in 2008 when he pulled down his pants on live television to dispel rumors that he had been castrated by a Japanese gangster.[4][5]
