The highly anticipated 'Miss Trot 4' is set to premiere in December 2025, and golf legend Park Se-ri has been confirmed as a new master, generating significant buzz.

The 'Miss Trot' series, a flagship audition program on TV CHOSUN, has consistently produced sensational trot stars like Song Ga-in, Yang Ji-eun, and Jeong Seo-ju, earning immense national love.

Expectations are already soaring for who will be crowned the next trot empress in 'Miss Trot 4.' The production team previously announced the participation of Monica, a formidable presence in the dance scene, as a master.

Monica's inclusion was praised, given the show's motto: 'The birth of the next trot empress who will captivate Korea.' As a representative female leader in Korea, her perspective was deemed invaluable.

Amidst this excitement, on November 19th, the 'Miss Trot 4' production team unveiled another NEW master set to deliver even tougher and more passionate judging: golf empress Park Se-ri, the first South Korean athlete to earn the title of 'empress.'

Park Se-ri expressed her enthusiasm, stating, "I've always been interested in trot prodigies. I've often marveled at how young children can sing like that. I'm particularly looking forward to the youth division this season."

Following the recent preliminary master auditions, the 'Miss Trot 4' team commented, "Park Se-ri, with her extensive experience in major competitions, offered many heartfelt critiques that resonated with the contestants." Co-stars Lee Kyung-kyu and Kim Sung-joo, who have worked with Park Se-ri for a long time, were reportedly surprised, remarking, "We never knew Park Se-ri was such an expressive person."

With the national hero and golf empress Park Se-ri stepping in as a new face for 'Miss Trot 4,' anticipation is mounting for her role in discovering Korea's next top trot talent. The show officially begins its race with the recent master auditions and will air its first episode in December 2025.
