Korea's first global K-Trot specialized magazine, TROTZINE, is launching its inaugural issue. The cover artist of the first issue is singer Jang Minho. Through an in-depth interview and exclusive photo shoot, Jang Minho reveals a charm different from his charismatic stage presence. This inaugural issue focuses on Jang Minho's musical world, which has captivated both fandom and the public, presenting new stories beyond the stage to readers.
In addition to Jang Minho, Seongri, Jinwook, Byeolsarang, Jeong Dakyeong, and Namgungjin also participate in the first issue. These artists come from different generations and backgrounds, each expressing their unique musical personality and stories. Through this, the magazine showcases the broad spectrum of trot that connects generations.
TROTZINE goes beyond a simple artist photo book and is composed of various sections. It includes a news section delivering the latest trot updates, a reader participation corner featuring fans' stories, and a Trot Legend Special that reexamines timeless classics spanning generations. Additionally, through behind-the-scenes stories, on-site sketches, and content connecting artists and fandoms, it records the present of K-Trot and forecasts its future.
Especially, the inaugural issue meticulously captures not only the artists' musical activities but also the production process and fandom culture. Readers can experience the trot genre on multiple layers. The sincere interview and unpublished photos of Jang Minho, along with special pages documenting new sides of Seongri, Jinwook, Byeolsarang, Jeong Dakyeong, and Namgungjin, add high collectible value.
As Korea's only K-Trot specialized magazine, TROTZINE aims for differentiated content from planning to production. Amid the growing global demand for K-Trot, it serves as a new platform connecting artists, fans, and culture, and acts as a forward base for the globalization of K-Trot.
The inaugural issue's pre-order event runs from August 28 to September 18. Pre-orders are available at major domestic bookstores, as well as on platforms including Naver, Coupang, ITTA, WISH, Music Plaza, VPOCA, and Q10 Japan. It is prepared for K-Trot fans worldwide to purchase.
During the pre-order and first official sales period, a buyer event will be held. A special package including a Star Therapy supplement, bromides, star postcards, and special photo cards will be provided. Additionally, a Polaroid signed personally by Jang Minho will be given through a lottery.
TROTZINE highlights the charm of K-Trot from various angles, creating a space where artists, fans, and the public can communicate together. The inaugural issue is expected to establish itself as an important project encompassing the present and future of K-Trot.
