Chuseok Special - Star Trot Battle! Wonder Girls and Jewelry. Trot, pronounced as "teuroteu" in Korean (sometimes called ppongjjak, due to its distictive background rhythm), is the oldest form of Korean pop music. It developed in the years before and during the Japanese occupation. Famous interpreters of this genre are South Korean singers Tae Jin Ah and Song Dae Gwan. This style of music has recently increased in popularity due to the emergence of "semi-trot" singers such as Jang Yoon Jeong (장윤정), who had great crossover success with her first single "어머나!" ("Eomeona!" - an exclamation similar to "Oh my goodness!"). This has led to both an increased awareness of older trot musicians and the debut of other singers and groups wanting to capitalize on the genre's comeback.
