The trot idol group MYTRO is embarking on a journey to reach the top of the Billboard charts through TV CHOSUN’s variety show “Trot Idol Fandom: True Sister.” At a press conference held on November 26 at Spigen Hall in Gangnam, Seoul, MYTRO members and producer Jo YoungSoo shared insights into their new challenge.
MC Song EunYi expressed a special fondness for MYTRO, saying, “I have to see my kids succeed,” showing her affection. The program “True Sister” is a fan support project cheering for MYTRO’s growth, capturing their blood, sweat, and tear-filled journey.
Recently, MYTRO heightened fans’ expectations by performing their newly released song “I Hate Love” on stage. Producer Jo YoungSoo confessed, “I was worried at first, but the members have grown rapidly, and now I look forward to seeing their progress.” Jo YoungSoo explained that he is finding the intersection between idol music and trot, helping MYTRO cultivate a broad fandom ranging from teenagers to those in their 60s.
MYTRO consists of members with diverse backgrounds and personalities. Han TaeYi, Jung YoonJae, Shohei, Lim ChaePyeong, and Seo WooHyuk continue to pursue new challenges, leveraging their varied experiences. Shohei noted, “Transitioning from K-pop to trot was challenging, but I find joy in pioneering a new genre.”
Their collaboration with SM Entertainment is also noteworthy. Shohei, a former SM Rookie, expressed excitement about MYTRO’s journey as an SM artist. Lim ChaePyeong added that he received advice from SM artists to maintain self-esteem.
Following the conclusion of “True Sister,” MYTRO plans to target the global market. They have already recorded Jo YoungSoo’s songs in global versions and are preparing albums in various languages. Composer Jo YoungSoo stated, “I aim to create songs that everyone from teenagers to those in their 70s can sing along to,” with the goal of entering the Billboard Hot 100.
Song EunYi also supported MYTRO’s global challenge, saying, “I hope they hit Gocheok Dome lightly, then go global and even perform at the Super Bowl.”
Meanwhile, TV CHOSUN’s “Trot Idol Fandom: True Sister” is set to air its final episode on November 30 at 7:50 PM. Interest in MYTRO’s future activities is expected to rise further.
