I love how Carats are debunking plagiarism accusations with actual proofs, while the other side has nothing but “trust me bro”😭.

[Pika_Pika @IfeellykPikachu]

@ShanYin0 @xenomother8 @FranRainn @kchartsmaster Okay, maybe it’s not you but there are people who are claiming that. So it’s for them.

[Pika_Pika @IfeellykPikachu]

@ShanYin0 @FranRainn @xenomother8 @kchartsmaster I’m not accusing them of anything. Then why it’s shameful??

[Pika_Pika @IfeellykPikachu]

@ShanYin0 @kchartsmaster Okay, your fandom and your fave are the only original ones and have all the musical knowledge in the world. Nice??? Now, go ahead sue the producer.

[Pika_Pika @IfeellykPikachu]

@xenomother8 @FranRainn @ShanYin0 @kchartsmaster Okay, go sue the producer then.

[Pika_Pika @IfeellykPikachu]

@ShanYin0 @kchartsmaster And plenty of “trot songs” sounds same too. But your fandom doesn’t wanna accept that.

[Pika_Pika @IfeellykPikachu]

@FranRainn @xenomother8 @ShanYin0 @kchartsmaster Okay, and this one?? And if this also different to you so I don’t lnow who’s tone-deaf.

I'm not a music critic nor am I Korean, but as a person who genuinely enjoys trot, let me tell you something:

If you've heard one trot song, every other trot song will sound familiar. And no, it's not just you it's actually built into the genre on purpose.

Here's why (with receipts):

1. The endless "ppongjak" beat
Trot runs on a steady 2-beat (later 4-beat) rhythm called *ppongjak* (뽕짝) the name literally comes from the "kung-jjak kung-jjak" sound you hear underneath the melody.

That constant oom-pah pulse is why your brain instantly links every trot song together.

Source: Namuwiki, "트로트" entry

2. The 5-note scale (Yona-nuki)

Most trot melodies lean on a pentatonic scale called Yona-nuki (요나누키) a 7-note scale with the 4th and 7th notes removed.

Fewer notes = fewer melodic paths, so songs naturally loop back to similar shapes.

3. Kkeokk-gi vocal bends

Even when the notes differ, singers apply the same technique: *kkeokk-gi* (꺾기) sharp pitch bends and cracking vibrato on the high notes..

It's literally what separates trot vocals from K-pop vocals.

4. Built for karaoke (noraebang) & festivals

Trot is made for instant connection, regional events, karaoke bars, older crowds singing along after one listen. No weird chord changes, no complicated structure. Short intro, quick verse, big chorus, done.

TL;DR: Trot sounds similar because it relies on a classic formula a 2/4 Ppongjak beat, 5-note scales, and Kkeokk-gi vocals to make every song instantly catchy.

That predictability isn't a flaw; it's the whole point!

[Pika_Pika @IfeellykPikachu]

@xenomother8 @ShanYin0 @kchartsmaster Okay I get it and this sounds same like the one that I linked. And here’s another one

https://t.co/Cft3S2PD5j

[Pika_Pika @IfeellykPikachu]

@xenomother8 @ShanYin0 @kchartsmaster I mean accusing Dino*

[Pika_Pika @IfeellykPikachu]

@xenomother8 @ShanYin0 @kchartsmaster I gave it a listen and Daesang’s song sounds different than both the songs. I don’t know why you people accusing him of plagiarism.

[Pika_Pika @IfeellykPikachu]

@xenomother8 @ShanYin0 @kchartsmaster Here’s the link to the same sound trot song which released 13 yrs ago. Thankyou. https://t.co/EzhL8jMOWC

[Pika_Pika @IfeellykPikachu]

@tlqkf_math Okay, idiot. Some people who accusing Dino fos plagiarism when there’s already a song with same sound which was released 13 yrs ago.

[Pika_Pika @IfeellykPikachu]

@tlqkf_math Let’s be honest, it’s not some new kind of hand pose. Here’s another poster from a show about trot music, where he is doing the exact same pose(in the second pic) which can be mean that its a normal pose trot artist make.But go ahead with your baseless claims.
