tvN STORY‘s first trot variety show, ‘Handsome Trot’, is kicking off the trot survival season with a stage that’s second to none.

‘Handsome Trot’ is a music variety show where 12 representative male stars in the entertainment industry will take on trot with sincerity. Expectations are high with the unexpected lineup of 12 stars, including MMA fighter Choo Sung-hoon, actors Jang Hyuk, Choi Dae-chul, In Kyo-jin, Ji Seung-hyun, Jung Gyu-woon, Tae Hang-ho, Hyun Woo, Kim Dong-ho, Lee Tae-ri, former national fencing team member Kim Jun-ho, and Han Jeong-wan. They will compete in ‘T4’, where they will be given the opportunity to release a song, and show off their surprising trot skills.

The preview for Episode 1 released ahead of the first broadcast shows the stars who risked everything to become T4. The 12 stars express their confidence by saying, “Let‘s get in there,” but this is short-lived as they face the formidable wall of trot and fall into an emergency situation. The scene where Young Tak even appears as a surprise teacher makes us even more curious about their growth and competition toward trot.


The stages of the stars revealed through the preview further heighten the anticipation. In particular, the stages of Choo Sung Hoon and Choi Dae Chul heated up the anticipation by giving a glimpse of their extraordinary skills even though they were only revealed for a few seconds. ‘Trotducer’ (trot + producer) and MC Lee Chan-won and Jang Min-ho give rave reviews, saying, “They might even surpass the two of us,”and herald the birth of a legendary stage.

Along with the unprecedented stage, the scene is filled with extreme tension. Along with Jang Hyuk confessing, “I think I should go home”, Hyun-woo is even seen hesitating in front of the stage.

‘Handsome Trot’ will first air on tvN STORY at 10 p.m. on the 21st.
