Trot singer Kim Eui-young has been voted as the number one female trot singer people want to walk with on a crisp autumn day.
The poll, conducted by TENASIA from the 9th to the 15th of last month, asked participants, 'Which female trot singer would you like to walk with on a leaf-strewn path this autumn?'
Kim Eui-young claimed the top spot. She rose to fame after finishing fifth in the 2020 TV Chosun competition program 'Miss Trot 2'. In May, she released her fourth single album 'STARTrot PART.1', produced by Kim Hyung-seok. The title track, 'Do Whatever You Want(하고 싶은 거 다 해)', is a dance trot song that captures Kim's bright and refreshing energy.
In second place is singer Kim Da-hyun. Last month, her hit song 'Heart Ppyong(하트뿅)' was transformed into a board game. The 'Heart Ppyong Board Game' involves 2 to 6 players matching various heart shapes and colors and ringing a bell. It's simple yet requires quick reflexes and concentration, making it enjoyable for all ages. Kim Da-hyun's agency stated, "Just as the song 'Heart Ppyong' conveys positive energy beyond mere excitement, we hope this board game becomes a medium for love and communication."
Singer Kum Jan-di secured the third spot. She debuted in 2000 with 'Yeongjongdo Seagull(영종도 갈매기) / Wet Window(젖은 유리창)'. Her 2012 release 'Brother(오라버니)' was a major hit, and she has been actively participating in OSTs and other projects. Last year, she published her first essay, 'Bringing Golden Happiness, Trot Singer Kum Jan-di(금빛 행복을 드리는, 트로트 가수 금잔디입니다)', marking her debut as an essayist.
Currently, on the TENASIA website(topten.tenasia.com), polls are being conducted on topics such as 'Which male singer would you like to enjoy warm chicken soup with as the weather cools?', 'Which female singer would you like to enjoy warm chicken soup with as the weather cools?', 'Which male trot singer would you like to enjoy warm chicken soup with as the weather cools?', and 'Which female trot singer would you like to enjoy traditional liquor with in the cool autumn weather?'
