Doori drops MV stills for trot comeback '서울깍쟁이', out August 6

Trot singer Doori (봉두리, 34) is dropping 서울깍쟁이 (Seoul Kkakjaengi) on August 6, 2026. The music video stills arrived as part of a seven-day countdown.

The song wraps itself around a 'cha-cha-cha' concept—multiple rounds of tea, enjoyed together. Her chorus move is the centerpiece: on the line "눈엔 서울 깍쟁이," she holds the mic, swings her hips lightly, then raises both hands beside her ears. She's calling it the 'monkey dance' (원숭이 춤). A caption from the shoot read, "1차만 찍고 얌전히 집에 가려했는데.. 만취이슈 마셔마셔"—her way of saying she'd planned to wrap after the first round and absolutely did not.

This comeback arrives after she withdrew from a public audition program. She's focusing on her scheduled album and performance plans instead.

Doori is from Gwangju. She debuted in 2018 with girl group GBB on the digital single GIRLS BE THE BEST. Her breakthrough came on Miss Trot (내일은 미스트롯), where she placed 7th in the final. Her preliminary stage—a cover of Kim Ja-ok's 공주는 외로워—hit 1 million Facebook views in a week. That's the clip most people know. Before music, she placed 2nd in the 2015 Miss Intercontinental Korea competition for the Gyeonggi-Incheon region, advancing to the main contest and winning the BNT Star Award and Photogenic Award.

Her official fandom name is 둘리, with Living Coral as the fandom color.
