"Tears of Mokpo" (Korean: 목포의 눈물) is a Korean-language trot song released in 1935. Its lyrics were written by Mun Ilsŏk (문일석; 文一石), it was composed by Son Mogin, and it was first sung by Lee Nan-young. The song has remained consistently popular since its release, and has been regarded as a representative song of the trot genre and as Lee's most famous song. It is also strongly associated with the city of Mokpo, and mentions several features of it, but is broadly popular in the rest of South Korea too.
