Trot is also a special genre that contains Korean history and culture. For example, in the past, people were comforted by soothing their wounds caused by foreign invasions and wars. That's why there are many songs in trot that contain deep emotions and identity.
But there is not just one reason why Trot is so loved. Recently, a trend called ‘Newtro’ is playing a big role in increasing the popularity of Trot. This means a combination of new and retro, and refers to a modern reinterpretation of something that was popular in the past. This trend has made trot more colorful.
In particular, the younger generation is also very interested in trot these days. In the past, it was thought that music was only enjoyed by older people, but now with the emergence of younger singers, the atmosphere has changed a lot. These singers are making trot more familiar to the public.
