Mr. Trot (Korean: 내일은 미스터트롯) is a South Korean reality television and talent show. The show is the male version of the popular Miss Trot, an audition show for singers who perform trot music.[1] It was produced with the planning intent of "a new concept trot audition program that will add firepower to the hot-tempered Korean trot craze and create a next-generation trot star that will lead the second trot heyday". It aired on TV Chosun every Thursday from January 2 to March 12, 2020.[2][3]

Mr. Trot became one of the most popular shows on Korean television. As of December 2020,[4] it is the highest rated show in cable television history of South Korea. The show was followed by Korea's Next K-pop Star [ko][5] which aired beginning in October 2021 and widened the scope of music beyond trot while preserving the format and host of Miss and Mr. Trot.

In 2022, it was announced that Mr. Trot would be returning for its second season. The season aired its first episode on December 22, 2022 at 22:00 KST on TV Chosun.[6]
