Super Junior – T

Super Junior-Trot (슈퍼주니어-트로트), officially known as Super Junior-T (슈퍼주니어-티) is the second official sub-unit of Korean boy band Super Junior. They are the first idol group known for capitalizing trot music, the oldest form of Korean Pop Music. Super Junior-T contains six Super Junior members, Leeteuk(the leader), Heechul, Kangin, Shindong, Sungmin, and Eunhyuk.

Super Junior-T’s music style is a distinctive style of trot, an old-fashioned style of Korean pop music. Their revised style of the genre includes modernized K-pop melodies and also fast rap, notably performed by Shindong, Eunhyuk, and sometimes Heechul. Super Junior-T’s goal is to enervate the fading genre in Korea’s current music industry and to introduce the young audience to a traditional style of music, hoping to increase awareness of older trot musicians and bring trot back into mainstream music. Emergence of Super Junior-T is also due to a strategy that Super Junior has been using, which is to show that they can accommodate many different musical genres.
