Some of the memories that were the happiest moments that the three members of Venus ever felt when they lived their life as contestants on Miss Trot were also revealed in interviews with the media. Jung Da-kyung, as one of the finalists who managed to get 4th place on Miss Trot, was once present in an interview held by the Star Today website.
Jung Da-kyung told about any memorable cheers during the survival show and she said , “I heard it from Kim Gun-mo, he told me that Da-kyung is the most prominent. Thank you very much for telling me that it would work out. I also heard that Hong Jin-young cheered that she act like a crazy that there is a good response if she was excited on the stage.” Then Jung Da-kyung also had the opportunity to attend as a guest star at the Trot Seoul Concert which was held a few montgs ago, she was also asked about the explosive reaction because many people came to the concert, “I felt indirectly only with the ratings, but many people came. to the Seoul concert to realize it.”
She also told the media what she had done from the concert and answered, “I wanted to do something all day and writhe too much, but I did that. After eating, I ate a lot. Loosen the belt and ate the foods. (laughs),” Jung Da-kyung also talked about any difficulties during the competition and answered, “I have to make the concept with time and effort. There were a lot of difficulties because I had never had such a performance on stage before.”
The woman who was born in 1993 also talked about her reasons for participating as a contestant for Miss Trot, “When I debuted as a singer while dancing, it was only a year ago that I wanted to see this path. I was always worried while attending the event. As I appeared in Miss Trot, I wondered how much I could be recognized as a trot singer. When I debuted as a singer while dancing, it was only a year ago that I wanted to see this path. I was always worried while attending the event. As I appeared in Miss Trot, I wondered how much I could be recognized as a trot singer.”
Beside that, she also shared about what if they had a performance in their hometown and Jung Da-kyung answered, “Suwon is native. I am trying to appeal a lot as a Gyeonggi-do,” and she also told about the personal goals she wanted to achieve, “I think I can do not only Trot but also various genres. I think I can show various musicals or various aspects.”
If there is Solbi of ‘Roman Princess’ in the entertainment industry, there is Doori (real name Bong Doo-ri) in the trot. As the only ‘princess’ in the trot craze, it imprints its presence in the public. Her beauty was born and her skills were recognized as being ranked in the Top 7 of TV Chosun’s ‘Miss Trot’. Doo-ri, who debuted as an idol and re-debuted as a trot singer, showed confidence, saying, “It’s your turn to make a person known to the world know.” When she was interviewed with JoongAng Daily on May 6, 2020, Bong Doo-ri shared all of her experiences while participating in the survival show.
Bong Doo-ri told the princess concept costume to the media, “A lot of people wondered if they came out as a princess again, but after contemplating, I decided to take the image of the princess as it is. It is difficult to capture the image once, but I am lucky to remember it as a princess, so I am going to continue. Please remember.” Bong Doo-ri also explained why after she debuted as a soloist and used the concept of princess, “I didn’t intend to do it. When I was in Miss Trot, I was walking down the hall with my usual clothes, but a broadcaster told me that she was a princess. It was because of this day that the image of a princess appeared in Miss Trot. Thank you for being caught”
In particular, Park Seong-yeon attracted great interest in Hong Jin-young’s resemblance while appeared in Miss Trot. Not only the appearance, but also the tone and furry charm reminiscent of Hong Jin-young, which surprised everyone. She expressed her gratitude for this and expressed confidence that she would show her charm in the future. With MBN News, Park Seung-yeon tells about his experiences and memories when she was a contestant of Miss Trot.
“Before I debuted as a trot singer, the recruitment came first. The author contacted me after seeing ‘I Can See Your Voice 4’, but the representative of the agency said that it would be dangerous because it wasn’t long before I learned trot. Since then, I made debut as a trot singer and appeared because she said that I would not be bad to joined Miss Trot once if the president kept thinking about it. I came out as an experience, and if I was lucky, it would be an opportunity to inform me, so I participated.” Park Seung-yeon said.
Park Seung-yeon also told the media how burden when she challenged herself to join the survival show, “I think the audition program itself has many risk factors. It would be great if it went well, but if it looked bad, it left people aware of it and was afraid to follow along like a tag. That was a burden. Still, I wanted people to know more about the trot. The one that suits me better is the semi-trot, but I wanted to know that there are good songs like this by deliberately singing an authentic trot.”
Beside that, Park Seung-yeon also shared stories about how she felt when he got an additional pass during Miss Trot, “I never thought I would pass. Before announcing the results, gather in front of the stage how many curtains are. Two more people could pass, but I wondered if I could fit into it. Even if it didn’t work, I didn’t have any regrets because it was the stage that I did my best, and I thought that there were so many people who were good at it, and I felt calm.
“I thought I should eat something delicious after it was over, but I was so surprised that my name was called. In fact, in a pre-interview, he said, ‘I wish I could only do half threshing’ by asking, ‘How many of a hundred people would you like to be in the ranks?’ However, as the number of participants decreases, more greed arises. I feel like I should do better.”
Debut Era
On September 13, 2019, Venus, who had just debuted, attended an interview session with Hankyung Entertainment and shared their various experiences as Miss Trot contestants and their impression when they ended up being the trot group, Venus. Let’s take a more complete look at their interviews as members of Venus in the session below!
Q : How did the three come together?
Park Seung-yeon : We met in Miss Trot and became a relationship, and we got together as ‘visual members’. (Laughter)
Doori: If it weren’t for ‘Miss Trot’, we wouldn’t have met like this. You are so much fun. I went to ‘Miss Trot’ while trying to start a solo activity at the idol group GBB, and I am new to working as a team again.
Jung Da-kyung: Usually trot singers go around the 8th degree all over the country, so it is difficult to make a relationship because they often fall out after their performance. It is even rarer to form a unit like this. It is never easy. We are not common trot idols. Please call us ‘Trotdoll’.
Q : It seems that I have rarely seen a unit formed by trot singers.
Park Seung-yeon: Right. Sisters have formed duets or groups like Wink seniors, but this is very rare. Previously, there was Orange Caramel as a similar group, but they showed semi-trot music by uniting the girl group After School members, and we are a unit formed by trot singers. There is a difference.
Jung Da-kyung: There were people who missed music and groups of concepts like Orange Caramel. They liked it and saying, ‘The look I wanted to see’ while looking at us.
Doori: Before checking our faces, some people misunderstood it as Orange Caramel. Haha.
Q : What kind of song is the debut song, Turn Signal?
Park Seung-yeon: This is an exciting dance song in the semi-trot genre produced by the famous producer team TENTEN. It is a song that expresses each member’s individuality to their heart’s content. The melody and choreography are addictive.
Doori: The lyrics are cute, and the dance is cute. I hope you will fall in love with Venus’ cuteness.
Q : Interest is high because it is a unit from ‘Miss Trot’. How long is the event?
Doori: I was hesitant because of the typhoon, but I am busy because of the event season. Usually, they stand on the stage of events 2-3 times a day and 10 times a week. It goes around 8 degrees nationwide.
Q : What is the good thing about the three together?
Jung Da-kyung: I’m usually a little crazy. It’s a bit embarrassing to increase the tension when you’re alone, but it’s good to be crazy together.
Doori: I would be the highest tension among the three. It is lowering a lot now. haha.
Park Seung-yeon: There are many times when traveling alone is an enemy. I am not lonely because I am together. There are many times when all three are crazy and have fun.
Q : What is each team in charge of?
Park Seung-yeon: I’m in charge of the visual.
Jung Da-kyung: The visual is mine.
Duri: I’m the princess
Jung: Visual, take all the princesses. I will have the main vocal. (laugh)
Q : It’s an unusual combination, and the concept is brilliant. Which team would you like to collaborate with?
Park Seung-yeon: The first people that come to mind are Norazo seniors. Don’t you think the synergy will be huge?
Doori: Recently, I appeared in the Chuseok special of Wink’s seniors and MBC Every1 ‘Video Star’. They are so nice. The code fits so well. Wink x Venus, isn’t it cool? I think fans will like it.
Q : ‘Miss Trot’ From start to finish, after the end, you may have been insane. How about looking back at the last time?
Doori: It’s been less than a month since I finished the ‘Miss Trot’ concert. As soon as the broadcast was over, it was like an extension of the broadcast because the concert was held. I can’t realize it’s over.
Jung Da-kyung : Even now, they are rerunning on the cable channel. Whenever I contacted people around me, he said he was watching’Miss Trot’. It is said that the grandmothers memorize all the scripts of Kim Seong-ju who become the MC. There are times when I feel like I am still appearing.
Q : What have you gained and lost through ‘Miss Trot’?
Doori: I got a character called Princess. Wherever you go, they call you ‘Princess Doori’. I am so thankful that I have a definite concept. I got too much. When I was in GBB, it was 42 kg. I was active in a skinny state. I gained 5kg because I was happy while doing ‘Miss Trot’. You have to manage it. No more. haha.
Park Seung-yeon: Gained recognition. I am so grateful that many people recognize it. There is also a regret that I have lost some of the lives of the general public as awareness has been developed.
Jung Da-kyung: I got a second life. Before I went to ‘Miss Trot’, I was just an ordinary graduate student. I got a new life, but I lost my family. My uncle became my fan. He became a virtue.
Q : After ‘Miss Trot’, You have been running a schedule without a break. How do you manage physical fitness and body?
Park Seung-yeon: It’s one meal a day, but I eat a lot when I’m doing this. If I don’t eat, I can’t sing.
Doo-ri: I’m still fine. I’m busy, so I can’t manage my body. I starve when I think I need management. I go to the bathroom often. When you starve, the fat goes into it like a lie.

New Album Pretty Advisory
On May 2020, Doori visited the Star News office prior to the release of the new album ‘Pretty Advisory’ and held an interview. She said, “I feel like I want to show off to the fans who have been waiting for a long time, I’m finally here , please love me a lot.” The album released just a year after the end of the show ‘Miss Trot’ but also a little later than the other participants. “I released the album in one year, but I had confidence in myself to prepare it and my trust in my fans,” Doori said.
The title song Pretty Advisory fits perfectly with the image of Doori, from the cheerful EDM dance trot title to the lyrics ‘Don’t be surprised that my face is pretty’. “It’s a song that expresses the loneliness of a pretty girl, which is difficult for everyone to come to. Princess Doori, doesn’t it fit perfectly with me?” Doori explained. In addition to the title of the song, this album includes a total of 5 songs, such as Mirror, Mirror, Do Not Look Elsewhere, Fox and Oppa. Even if you listen to the title, the songs are resembles Doori’s image. Doori expressed by saying, “The song was also created by the composers thinking about me.”
Doori, who took her first step as a trot singer, hoped, “I want to remind myself of Doori when I think of ‘The Princess of Trot’ in the future.” At the same time, she hoped, “I want to become a singer who can play an active part as an all-round entertainer like the second Jang Yoon-jung and Hong Jin-young.”
