The world's first global K-Trot specialized magazine, 'TROTZINE', is officially launching. Following the massive wave of K-Pop, K-Trot is rapidly gaining attention as the next wave of Korean entertainment in countries like the US, Australia, UK, Germany, and Japan. The international activities of Korean trot artists are mobilizing global fandoms, proving the genre's potential for worldwide expansion.

Furthermore, Maggie Kang, the director of the Netflix animated film 'K-Pop Demon Hunters', recently expressed her desire to feature trot music in a potential sequel, highlighting the genre's growing international appeal. The inaugural issue features trot star JANG MIN HO as its cover artist, showcasing his charismatic stage presence alongside his relatable personal charm, demonstrating how fandom can evolve beyond mere consumption into a deeper narrative connection.

'TROTZINE' will begin its pre-sale period from August 28th to September 18th, with the official release to follow.

JANG MIN HO debuted in 2005 as part of the idol group 'U-BEE', but did not achieve significant success. He later transitioned to trot music in 2011 and made a successful comeback with hit songs such as 'Saranghamnida' and 'Why I Live'. He has garnered a wide fanbase through his exceptional vocal talent, stage presence, and warm personality.
