[BetaNews=Gwak Jeong-il, Reporter] With Parents' Day approaching, TJ Media said on the 30th that its home all‑in‑one karaoke systems are gaining attention as gifts for the parent generation.

Recently, many middle‑aged and older adults have increasingly looked to fill retirement and free time with new hobbies.

TV music programs like 'Miss Trot', 'King of Singers', and 'Unknown Legend' have boosted trot's popularity, turning singing into a familiar, long‑lasting pastime for that generation.

Against this backdrop, home karaoke systems that let people sing comfortably at home are drawing interest as Parents' Day gifts.

TJ Media's all‑in‑one accompaniment player 'M1' combines a player, amplifier, speaker, microphone, and monitor into a single integrated unit. It requires no complicated setup—just plug it in and you're ready to go—so even users who aren't tech‑savvy can use it easily.

The home accompaniment player 'TKR-370HK' stands out for its compact size, making it space‑efficient and highly portable. Connect it to a Bluetooth speaker and a smartphone or tablet, and you can use the karaoke function anywhere.

Both the 'M1' and 'TKR-370HK' come preloaded with roughly 70,000 songs—the largest catalog in South Korea. They also include recent trot medleys from popular artists like Lim Young‑woong, Young Tak, and Shin Yu, so middle‑aged and older listeners can enjoy a wide selection of favorites.
