More than K-pop: South Korea's trot music finds new audience
South Korea's trot music was once dismissed and widely ridiculed as tunes for pensioners, but a fresh crop of younger artists are breathing new life into the genre and showing the world there's more to the country's music scene than K-pop.
Trot blends traditional Korean music with elements of Western jazz, swing and Japanese Enka, and its melodramatic ballads and upbeat tunes are finding massive audiences in the South, helped by a wave of reality television shows.
