It's the birth of a new genre that fuses Latin music and trot, spearheaded by the song "Flamenco" by newcomer Shin InSun. This song is not just about rhythm and melody; it also brings a passionate dance performance to the stage, injecting new vitality into the Korean music scene.
Shin InSun, both a musical actor and a trot singer, has used his unique background as a successful starting point for this project. "Flamenco" draws inspiration from the traditional dance of Andalusia in southern Spain, but Shin InSun and his team have reinterpreted it with Korean sensibilities to create a dance that is easy for anyone to follow. As a result, the "Flamenco Challenge" on social media quickly became a nationwide dance craze.
However, Shin InSun's journey to perfecting this dance was not easy. Flamenco itself requires deep emotion and dynamic gestures. Singing while performing intense movements demanded tremendous stamina and skill. Shin InSun shared, "It was really difficult to sing while dancing Flamenco, but in that moment on stage, breathing with the audience, I forget all the hardships."
More importantly, Shin InSun's project transcends a simple musical attempt, showcasing an experimental spirit that breaks down the barriers of culture and genre. With his fundamental training as a musical actor, he is injecting new vitality into the world of trot. This approach proves that trot is not merely a legacy of the past but a contemporary genre that constantly explores new possibilities.
Shin InSun's journey with "Flamenco" is set to continue throughout 2024, and he hopes "this dance and song will bring joy and health to many people." There is great anticipation for the new wind Shin InSun will bring to the Korean music scene with Flamenco.
