From September 29 to October 4, Ten Asia conducted a poll asking, 'Which female trot singer would you like to share roasted sweet potatoes with by the fireplace?' Kim Eui-young emerged as the winner. She made her official debut as a trot singer after finishing in the TOP 5 on TV Chosun's 2020 show 'Miss Trot 2.' In May of last year, she released her fourth single 'STARTrot PART.1,' produced by Kim Hyung-seok. The title track 'Do Whatever You Want' is a bright and lively dance trot song that showcases Kim Eui-young's refreshing charm.
In second place is singer Kim Da-hyun, who is set to hold her first solo concert in March. Her nationwide tour, themed 'Dream,' will kick off in Seoul, move to Busan and Daegu, and eventually reach Japan. Her agency stated, "Kim Da-hyun will welcome the busiest and most exciting new year since her debut through her solo concert. As 2026 is the Year of the Horse, she plans to continue her vigorous activities like a horse running across a green field starting in March."
Park Joo-hee takes the third spot. Her new song 'Spread the Word' is making waves in the trot market. Released in November last year, the dance trot track captures the lively energy of a confident and charming woman, quickly gaining popularity among listeners. Proving its success, the music video for 'Spread the Word' surpassed 1 million views within three weeks of its release, marking an exceptional achievement in the trot market.
Currently, the Top Ten Ten Asia website is hosting polls on topics such as 'Which female singer would you like to eat fish-shaped bread with during a cold snap?' and 'Which male trot singer would you like to eat fish-shaped bread with during a cold snap?' among others.
