Super Junior Trot, officially known as Super Junior T, is a 6-member project unit of the 13-member Korean idol group Super Junior. The six members consist of Leeteuk, Heechul, Kangin, Shindong, Sungmin, and Eunhyuk. Their purpose is to be able to open the eyes of younger audiences to traditional trot music by singing a more modernized version of the genre and also to open the eyes of the general public that they are not merely a pop group for teenagers.
The T in 슈퍼주니어-T stands for Trot. Trot is the oldest genre of Korean pop music and is characterized by the simple beat. While trot is mostly adored by an older audience, with artists such as Jang Yoon Jeong, trot is beginning to be well-accepted by the younger audience with the comeback of the genre.
슈퍼주니어-T released their first single, entitled 로꾸거 on February 23, 2007. Their first comeback performance was on Sunday, February 25, 2007 on SBS 인기가요 (Inkigayo). |
