Kim Eui-young Tops Poll as Most Desired Trot Singer for a Rainy Day Duet
From October 20 to 26, TENASIA conducted a poll asking, 'Which female trot singer would you like to sing a duet with on a rainy day?' Kim Eui-young emerged as the winner.
Kim gained public attention after finishing fifth on TV Chosun's 'Miss Trot 2' in 2020. In May, she released her fourth single album 'STARTrot PART.1', produced by Kim Hyung-seok. The title track, 'Do Whatever You Want', is an upbeat dance trot song that showcases Kim's unique bright and refreshing energy.
Coming in second place was singer Kim Da-hyun. On October 21, Kim Da-hyun was appointed as a promotional ambassador for Cheongdo County, Gyeongsangbuk-do, alongside her father, Kim Bong-gon. The appointment ceremony took place during the closing ceremony of the 'Cheongdo Persimmon Festival and World Comedy Art Festival'. Kim Bong-gon has long been dedicated to traditional etiquette education and the promotion of Korean studies, and in May, he donated 1 million won to his hometown.
Singer Eun Ga-eun secured the third spot. On October 28, Eun Ga-eun announced her pregnancy, currently in her 22nd week. This joyful news comes about six months after her marriage to singer Park Hyun-ho in April. Born in 1987, Eun Ga-eun and Park Hyun-ho, born in 1992, are a couple with a five-year age difference. They first met on KBS2's 'Immortal Songs' and developed a romantic relationship, leading to their marriage in March last year.
Currently, on the TENASIA website(topten.tenasia.com）, polls are being conducted on topics such as 'Which male singer would you like to eat sashimi with this coming winter?', 'Which female singer would you like to eat sashimi with this coming winter?', 'Which male trot singer would you like to eat sashimi with this coming winter?', and 'Which female trot singer would you like to eat sashimi with this coming winter?'.
