Oh Yu-jin drops synth-pop single 'Yeouya Mwohani', stepping beyond trot

Oh Yu-jin released her new single 여우야 뭐하니 (Yeouya Mwohani) on the 21st. Not the trot record her earlier work would suggest.

The track samples the traditional Korean children's chant 여우야 여우야 뭐하니 and rebuilds it as synth-pop. An addictive chorus and polished production sit behind Oh Yu-jin's characteristically clear vocals, creating a distinctly different sound.

The release marks a deliberate move away from the trot genre she built her name on. (Whether the synth-pop direction actually sticks will depend on what comes next.)
