‘TROT GIRLS JAPAN’ runner-up Utakokoro Rie will be releasing her first official song in Korea.

On the 8th, nCH Entertainment announced, “Utakokoro Rie will be releasing her first single ‘Violet’ on the 21st at 6PM.”‘Violet’ is a reinterpretation of Jo Dong-jin‘s original song as a contemporary pop ballad, and the dramatic development that starts with a lyrical guitar and blends in with the piano melody is impressive.

In addition, ‘Violet’ contains poetic lyrics that melt the dreams, love, sadness, frustration, and the process of maturing little by little as a person lives in the world, and these were expressed only by Utagokoro Rie’s deep and clear voice.

In particular, Utagokoro Rie recently performed the ‘Violet’ stage for the first time at the ‘2024 Trot Girls Japan 1st Concert - Come Back to Busan Port’, creating a big stir. Utakokoro Rie plans to continue the excitement and lingering emotions of the performance with the official song of ‘Violet’ and repay the support of her fans.

Utakokoro Rie won second place on the Japanese trot audition program ‘Trot Girls Japan’, which was broadcast on Japan‘s representative satellite broadcast channel ‘WOWOW’ and the largest OTT platform ‘Abema’. Since then, she has been active on programs such as ‘Korea-Japan King of Singers’ and ‘Korea-Japan Top Ten Show’ on MBN, receiving love from music fans in both Korea and Japan.
