A music variety program is coming where 12 representative male stars in the entertainment industry challenge themselves to become trot singers.

It is tvN STORY ‘Handsome Trot’, differentiating itself from existing music programs that feature trot material. First broadcast on the 14th.

While it seems that it will be fun to see the true skills of the contestants, the appearance of former national team member Kim Jun-ho is also drawing attention.

At the program‘s production conference held at the Ramada Sindorim Hotel in Guro-gu, Seoul on the afternoon of the 4th, he said, “I was the first to meet with the production crew. He revealed, “I really like trot, so at the moment when I wanted to release a personal album, I got an offer to appear on such a great program and I did it right away.”

PD Hwang Da-won, who was in charge of directing, said, “Kim Jun-ho said he wanted to do it before the production team was formed, so he came to a meeting the next morning.”

Kim Jun-ho attempted a different transformation and said, “People around me asked, ’You sing trot?‘ and were curious,” and added, “I think they thought I was far from trot because of my fencing image. In fact, I always listened to trot before games when I was a player. It gave me a lot of strength when I was playing and training.”
