Another trot variety show is coming to the living rooms.
On April 16, a new variety program on TV CHOSUN, titled 'Trot All-Star Competition: Wednesday Night' (hereafter referred to as 'Suwam'), will premiere. In 'Suwam', singers from the 'Miss & Mister Trot' series, discovered and nurtured by the trot dynasty TV CHOSUN, will gather. They will compete with each other solely on the stage, discarding their senior-junior titles and entering a fierce singing battle. The audience's high interest is focused on who will become the honored titleholder of the strongest in the trot universe.
The first special episode of 'Suwam' will feature Kim Hee-jae from 'Mister Trot' Season 1, Ahn Seong-hoon and Park Ji-hyun from 'Mister Trot' Season 2, TOP7 from 'Mistrot' Season 3 (Jeong Seo-joo, Bae Ah-hyun, Oh Yoo-jin, Miss Kim, Na Young, Kim So-yeon, Jeong Seul), Yeom Yu-ri, and lastly, the 'Goddess of Trot', Jo Jeong-min, competing on stage. Among them, we first heard directly from Jeong Seo-joo, Bae Ah-hyun, and Oh Yoo-jin.
Regarding joining the program, Jeong Seo-joo said, "It is an honor and exciting to be part of such a wonderful program. I believe it will be a valuable learning experience just to stand on stage with such outstanding seniors and colleagues." Oh Yoo-jin added, "From the title of the program, 'All-Star Competition', I expect what kind of stars will appear!"
'Suwam's distinct point is the live band performance. The cast members have already become deeply immersed in the joys of band rehearsal. Regarding this, Jeong Seo-joo expressed, "I could feel the energy of live music" and mentioned that "when we first matched up, it felt like doing a concert." Bae Ah-hyun said, "When I matched with the band, my heart raced suddenly with the grandeur. I enjoyed singing because it was so much fun." Oh Yoo-jin also noted, "I was surprised to find that my dramatic three minutes song had ended before I knew it while focusing on the band sound."
Additionally, in 'Suwam', audience members from all generations will directly score the performances of the cast. In this process, Bae Ah-hyun expressed, "I realized once again how much the public's standards for trot have risen." Bae Ah-hyun commented, "I felt very nervous seeing the audience enjoying the performance, but becoming strict when it came to evaluations," and she candidly shared her feelings from the first recording.
Since this is the first stage presented through 'Suwam', all 12 singers have prepared their performances with utmost passion. Among the high-quality stage competition, Jeong Seo-joo and Oh Yoo-jin chose Jeong Seul's performance from 'Mistrot3' TOP7 as the most impressive. Jeong Seo-joo revealed, "Sister Jeong Seul expressed the emotions of the song so delicately and beautifully that I was touched throughout the listening." Oh Yoo-jin also remarked, "Sister Jeong Seul's clean vocal tone combined perfectly with the song choice, so I expect a good response from the viewers."
Finally, Jeong Seo-joo told viewers waiting for 'Suwam', "Each performance contains a story like a documentary! You will be able to feel a completed stage with emotions, sound, and performance. Above all, the stage showcased with live band will be a rare experience, so please make sure to join us!" Oh Yoo-jin also requested, "I hope you will watch how the All-Stars reinterpret the existing classics with arrangements. You can look forward to an upgraded, exciting stage from us, full of enthusiasm!"
Meanwhile, TV CHOSUN's new variety show 'Trot All-Star Competition: Wednesday Night' will premiere at 10 p.m. on Wednesday, April 16.
