Digg this!
Critics allege that the genre was derived from the Japanese enka but trot lovers argue that the genre was developed prior to the Japanese occupation and simply evolved together with the enka.
The word "trot" is derived from "foxtrot" (yes, the ballroom dance). How does trot music sound like? Mmm, tough to explain so have a listen here or here – it’s Super Junior T! Cheesy isn’t it?
However, the genre's popularity has been revived in recent years thank (or no thanks) to “semi-trot” singers such as Jang Yoon-jeong (장윤정, pic above) as well as Super Junior T (pic below).

Is that the equivalent to Malaysia's dangdut?
Sounds like something that would be played at a wedding banquet after all the guests are fed and drunk.
Yeah, it should be played when everybody is drunk so it won't regiester.
Dangdut...hmm good comparison! :)
wat happened to Kibum....where is that cutie?
where did Kibum go? is he not in either group anymore?
Dangdut is originally from Indonesia and has spread to neighboring countries such as Malaysia and some parts of the Philippines
