koganbotOkay, three data points constituting a trend, Miss A, putting "Time's Up" on their new Independent Women Pt. III EP, become the latest K-pop group to mix trot beats and Austral-Romanian int'l rhythm moves.*
(Also, unrelated to trot or to Romance Australianisms, the lead track and single is "I Don't Need A Man," and the second or third track (depending which listing you see) is called "If I Were A Boy." That and the EP title probably don't remind anyone of anything, but I thought I'd mention them.)
*Of the ten tracks** on my Austral-Romanian mix, Gangkiz's "Honey Honey" probably and Orange Caramel's "Lipstick" definitely include a trot feel. "Trot feel" is not something I can specify, especially when the tracks aren't explicitly trot; but these two instances include emphasized offbeats and a way of pushing the tempo, even when it's not that fast.
**Of course I included an eleventh track, LPG's "The First Train," which is trot but isn't very Austral-Romanian, and was there for reference.

Notice how, at about 1:58, YG abandons his jacket. He's more resolute here:
