Elegant Trot, “Lim Young-woong, Do Whatever You Want”
Combining ballad, traditional trot, and the element of Lim Young-woong created a synergy that completed the ‘elegant trot’, earning him explosive popularity. Until now, he mainly performed upbeat trot songs that make listeners want to move their shoulders. He said, “Upbeat trot was effective for quickly expanding recognition.
After debuting, I didn’t gain much popularity at first, so I think I gave up on my dream of singing traditional trot with ballad sensibility.” He shared about the dream he achieved through Mr. Trot.
Also, by challenging a survival program where he could immediately see fans’ reactions, he gained confidence. He opened up, saying, “I worried countless times about whether the public would really like my music.” He added, “But as each episode passed, I felt like ‘they understand my sincerity,’ and my confidence grew a lot during the competition.”
Meanwhile, Lim Young-woong, whose YouTube channel has already surpassed 720,000 subscribers and is receiving a hot response, said that obtaining the Gold Button is his new goal. He expressed his ambition to present songs that the public can enjoy happily in the future.
Young Tak, Dreaming of Being a Multiplay, “Having Achieved One Dream, Heading Toward Another!”
Young Tak, who said he grew one step further through the survival program, shared, “My self-esteem grew through ‘Mr. Trot’. Through the competition, I thought, ‘I have walked well so far.’
Every time I received praise from the public on stage, I praised myself a lot. Because I felt that all the practice since my debut was not in vain.
I’m naturally a happy person, but through ‘Mr. Trot’, I feel happiness more often these days.” he expressed his thoughts on appearing on the show.
Especially, through Jang Min-ho’s ‘Read-Ignore-Not Read-Ignore’ and Lee Chan-won’s new songs ‘Chan-Chan-i’ and ‘Really Good Person’, Young Tak has expanded his musical activities not only as a singer but also as a producer. He expressed his ambition as a producer, saying he wants to work with many senior and junior artists as long as he gets the chance.
Musically, he said he feels like he has achieved all his dreams for this year and added, “If I get the chance, I want to learn acting. Senior Lim Chang-jung has been my role model for a long time. I want to become a multiplay and appear on various broadcasting programs.” He hinted at his activities in various fields.
Lee Chan-won, Mr. Trot Who Bridges Generations, “I Have Succeeded”
Lee Chan-won, who grew up listening to trot from his father and maternal grandmother and nurtured his dream of becoming a trot singer, has established himself as Mr. Trot who bridges generations with overwhelming support from fans in their teens and twenties.
He said it is an honor to be part of the great festival of change where all generations, regardless of age or gender, respond to trot. Lee Chan-won earnestly shared the achievements he gained through ‘Mr. Trot’: “I fulfilled my dream of becoming a trot singer through Mr. Trot, but more importantly, I gained people. Including my hyungs Young-woong, Young Tak, Min-ho, Ho-joong, Hee-jae, Dong-won, and the 101 friends who passed the preliminary round with me. I think I have succeeded. I haven’t gained wealth or fame yet, but I can do what I want and work happily with good people.”
Regarding his future plans, Lee Chan-won said, “Above all, I want to hold many performances where I can breathe with many audiences. Personally, I want to grow as a singer and a multi-tainer. Most of all, I want to try musical acting. I have many things I want to do. I want to write songs and try acting.”
