 Top Trot Singers Today (Trot pt3) 

Some of the most popular Trot singers today are quite young and achieved their name recognition as members of K-pop groups. Hong Jin Young is one example of this trend. She began her career as an actress in TV dramas and then as a member of the K-pop group Swan. Later, at the young age of only 24, an agent suggested she start singing Trot as a solo artist. Hong initially thought she was too young to sing in this genre of music that appeals to older Koreans, but agreed to try it out. She has become a very successful Trot singer and is one of the most popular in recent years. See her song; 'Love Battery' below:

Another very popular Trot singer is Jang Yoon is Jang Yoon Jung,  another young singer who achieved her start in 2004 and has sung exclusively in the Trot genre. Her songs are extremely popular and Jang is considered instrumental in popularizing Trot among younger Koreans. She was the third most popular singer in Korea three years ago. See two of her videos below:

The final Trot singer that I will cover here is Tae Jin-Ah. Tae Jin ah is a more typical trot singer in that he is 67 years old and his songs follow very typical themes such as unrequited love. Tae was a truck driver and then operated a laundromat in the USA before returning to South Korea and becoming a trot singer. He is one of the top male singers of trot in Korea today. His song 'Jin Jin Jara' is in the video below:
