Jin Mi Ryung's early songs are the epitome of romantic old-style trot: dramatic minor-key ballads, filled out with richly arranged strings that complement her clear, bright voice. Her career has been going strong since the mid '70s, and she's kept up with trends in the genre. Her songs from the ‘90s add beats reminiscent of new jack swing, and newer tunes have a more soft rock-influenced sound that suits her deepening vocal tone.
