K-pop meets old popular music

By Park Jin-hai


The music genre “trot” seems hardly mainstream today.

Although it is regarded as the “root” of K-pop, the oldest form of Korean popular music has had to live so far the life of an outcast, whilst its offspring enjoyed global stardom.

Such tags as “boring” and “for the elderly only” always followed the music.

That is likely to change thanks to series of efforts by younger musicians to revive the genre.

K-pop singer Rain made a surprise performance with Tae Jin-ah, 60-year-old trot singer, in January. The seemingly unlikely collaboration, singing Rain’s “La Song,” proving that trot has a place in the idol-dominated music scene.

“Through the experience, I realized that older and younger generations can communicate with my music. It was a challenge for me to do a new form of music, but it was fun and extremely easy,” said Tae.

HUGE thanks to CloudUSAer Maria for not only making the journey to give Rain support with Cloud sisters in Beijing, but for her fan account and her hard work in getting lovely fan cams. Not bad at all from a seat in the 10th row!

One thing cannot be denied in viewing this footage—Rain was happier than a clam prancing around up there. The stage (and his fans) is so in his blood.

class="at_title"Rain Talks About His Looks "I'm Not Good-Looking"

Rain talked about his looks during an interview with the Chinese media.

Today, one Chinese media interviewed singer Rain.

About his nickname as 'Lovely Man', Rain said, "I actually have more cute sides. I may not have a good-looking face but thankfully, I have a cute side." When he was asked when he thinks he's most attractive and charming, he said, "When I'm on stage."

Rain is also known as a workout mania. He said, "I sacrifice my sleeping time if I have to in order to show only good sides to my fans, which is why I spend time on working out. I will always stay humble."
