Trot (트로트) is a traditional popular music genre originating in the early 1900s. It is characterized by orchestral production, grand vocals, and a simple, two-beat rhythm. The genre is known for its influences from Enka, a slightly earlier Japanese genre, as well as Korean and European folk music, blues, and jazz. The name trot originates in the ballroom dance style foxtrot, which influenced its simple rhythm. The genre began to resurface in popular culture again thanks to singing competition shows known as Miss Trot (premiered in 2019) and Mr. Trot (premiered in 2020).

Prominent artists: Lim Young Woong, Jeong Dong Won, Hong Jin Young, Song Ga In.
