    Did they have trot singers or it is their 1st one?

    Also what is the difference between trot idol and trot singer?

    Trot singers are like basically traditional singers in Korea, they make upbeat music but it is not pop. I have never seen and "trot idol" but SM has had lots of Trot and traditional type singers before soooooooooooo?? Does SM not know their own history?

  • Huh, will this be new SM experiment? Trying to mix the trot sound and scene with idol branding/promotion and way of doing/managing things?

    Will we be getting a 'Feel My Rhythm' type of music, but then instead of blending with classical music, now it'll be blending with trot music?


    I thought they were already doing stuff with trot, but after a quick check it's classical music and indie music that they have been investing in and a classical label that they have been investing in.

  • Johnny's tried an 'enka idol', called Ninja, which failed and their members quietly disappeared.


    It remade Misora Hibari's Omatsuri Mambo in the JPop style of that ear

    called Omatsuri Ninja.


    the only reason this song is remembered now is Roola plagiarized this song, in their song "Chunsang Yuae" (There is love in the heavens) .

    What will probably happen is it will recruit some trot singers, and assemble trainees from contestants who don't go too far in trot auditions, and make them idolike trot singers, who will also sing enka if necessary so they could earn money in Japan.

    One thing that I love in SM that they always experiment!

  • What is enka idol?



    Yeah I’ve read that trot idol will be promoted in SK and Japan!

    But I think that trot idol will be instantly loved in SK since gp loves SM so much!

    Like an idol group but singing enka in Japan.


    GP used to love SM but not now - they have to be produced in a way, and since the trot audience and the idol audience are so different, it will be interesting to see how SM will manage it.

  • Perhaps it'll be something like this:

    K-Trot duo Atlantis Kitsune (former NATURE Sohee & Kanou Miyu) have made their debut with their single ‘Oh My!’

    Different story.


    Kim Sohee went to Japan to find an opportunity there and participated in the Trot Girls Japan audition, which she didn't win since the objective was to find someone from Japan, but she did partner up with one of the contestants there to try to figure out what to do either in Korea or Japan


    There is no reason for SM to develop a trot idol if the idol will not fly in Japan. Basically it is going to develop an idol group which is palatable both to the Korean trot audience and the Japanese enka audience, which will probably necessitate that it will have at least 1 Japanese member.
