Korean trot singer Kim Eui-young has been voted as the number one female trot singer people want to watch the New Year's sunrise with.
The poll, conducted by TENASIA from December 25 to 31, asked, 'Which female trot singer would you like to watch the New Year's sunrise with on January 1st?'
Kim Eui-young, who debuted as a trot singer after finishing in the top 5 on TV Chosun's 'Miss Trot 2' in 2020, claimed the top spot. In May, she released her fourth single 'STARTrot PART.1,' produced by Kim Hyung-seok. The title track, 'Do Whatever You Want,'(하고 싶은 거 다 해) is a bright and lively dance trot song that showcases Kim's refreshing charm.
Singer Jeon Yu-jin secured the second position. She is set to hold her first fan concert 'Twenty' in Busan on January 10. A behind-the-scenes video of her Daegu concert, held on December 6, was released on her official YouTube channel on December 30. The video begins with Jeon Yu-jin checking the stage layout during rehearsal, highlighting her professional demeanor.
Singer Kim Da-hyun took third place. She will hold her debut solo concert in March. Her nationwide tour, themed 'Dream,' will start in Seoul, move to Busan and Daegu, and eventually reach Japan. Her agency stated, "Kim Da-hyun will have her busiest and most exciting year yet with her solo concert," adding that "as 2026 is the Year of the Horse, she will continue her vigorous activities like a horse running across green fields starting in March."
Currently, on the Top Ten TENASIA website(topten.tenasia.com), polls are being conducted on topics such as 'Which male singer would you like to eat rice cake soup with on January 1st?' and 'Which female trot singer would you like to eat rice cake soup with on January 1st?' among others.
