The male version of TV Chosun's "Ms. Trot" called "Mr. Trot" surged in popularity, which later led to creation of similarly themed competition shows on other TV networks, including MBC's "I Am a Trot Singer," MBN's "Voice Trot" and SBS' "K-Trot in Town." Outdoor travel shows, which have long dominated the late-night timeslot, have been scrapped or moved indoors due to travel restrictions during the COVID-19 pandemic.
