Korea's first global K-trot specialized magazine 'TROTZINE' is finally publishing its inaugural issue.
The cover artist for the inaugural issue is singer Jang Min-ho, who reveals a different colorful charm through a profound interview and exclusive photo shoot. The music world of Jang Min-ho, who has captivated both fandom and the public, is highlighted, presenting new stories to readers outside of the stage. He boasts a sculpted handsome appearance in the revealed visuals.
This inaugural issue features participants including Jang Min-ho, who graces the cover, as well as Sung-ri, Jin-wook, Byeol-rang, Jeong Da-kyung, and Namgoong Jin. Artists from different generations and backgrounds come together in one volume, each unraveling their musical individuality and stories, showcasing the broad spectrum of trot that connects generations.
'TROTZINE' goes beyond being a simple artist photo album, featuring a news section that conveys the latest trot updates, a reader participation corner that includes fan stories, and a trot legends special that re-examines timeless songs across generations. It also records the present of K-trot and forecasts its future through behind-the-scenes stories, on-site sketches, and content that facilitates the consolidation of artists and fandom.
Notably, the inaugural issue captures not just the music activities of the artists but also the production process and fandom culture in detail, allowing readers to experience the genre of trot in a multifaceted way. Jang Min-ho's candid interview, unpublished photo shoot, and a project page documenting the new appearances of Sung-ri, Jin-wook, Byeol-rang, Jeong Da-kyung, and Namgoong Jin add significant collectible value.
As the only K-trot specialized magazine in the country, 'TROTZINE' aims for differentiated content from planning to production. In the context of expanding demand for K-trot in the global market, this magazine is expected to serve as a new platform that consolidates artists, fans, and culture, and act as a forward base for the globalization of K-trot.
The inaugural issue will have a pre-order sales event from Aug. 28 to Sept. 18, available for K-trot fans worldwide to purchase at major bookstores in the country and on platforms such as Naver, Coupang, ITTA, WISH, Music Plaza, VPOCA, Q10 Japan, and more. During the pre-order and first official sales period, there will be a buyer's event. A special package including Star Therapy supplemental edition, bromide, star postcards, and special photo cards will be offered, along with a chance to win a personally signed Polaroid by Jang Min-ho in a lottery.
