It airs live every Saturday at 15:30 (KST). The show features some of the latest and most popular artists who perform live on stage. It is broadcast from MBC Dream Center in Goyang, Gyeonggi.

History

Prior to the current Show! Music Core, numerous music programs with similar content were aired on MBC. Below is the list in chronological order.

Broadcast date Program name
October 30, 1989 – November 2, 1990 Show Network (쇼 네트워크)
November 9, 1990 – April 30, 1993 Everyone's Popular Songs (여러분의 인기가요)
May 7, 1993 – October 8, 1993 Choice Best Popular Songs (결정 최고 인기가요)
April 21, 1995 – January 17, 1998 Popular Songs Best 50 ( 인기가요 베스트 50)
January 24, 1998 – April 18, 1998 Live Young Times (생방송 젊은 그대)
April 25, 1998 – January 23, 1999 Music Camp (음악캠프)
February 30, 1999 – May 8, 1999 Family Camp (가족캠프)
May 15, 1999 – July 30, 2005 Live Music Camp ( 생방송 음악캠프)

Live Music Camp was cancelled due to a broadcast accident of revealing genitalia. [1]

After a brief hiatus, Show! Music Core began airing on October 29, 2005, with charts similar to its predecessors. However, the charts were removed on January 7, 2006, and it continues to air without any charts or awards. Even without the weekly chart award, the show was known for its special production and stages.

From 2007 to 2008, a "Mobile Ranking" segment was used to rank the popularity of songs downloaded to mobile phones and from online music sites. [2]

On March 11, 2013, MBC announced that they would return their chart system after seven years without the segment. The ranking system was reinstalled on April 20, 2013, with a first-place trophy given to the top song amongst the nominees for each week. [3]

November 21, 2015, MBC announced that their chart system would be removed once again. The MBC variety department said: "Instead of the ranking system, we intend to show more diverse genres of music and continue to work hard to be a representative music program of Korea." [4]

On February 11, 2016, MBC announced a trial phase of their simultaneous live broadcast of Show! Music Core in HD and UHD (ultra-high-definition) utilizing a dedicated 4K camera, in preparation for their launch of UHD broadcasts scheduled for 2017. The trial phase had taken place February 13 through March 12, 2016.[ needs update] [5]

On April 5, 2017, MBC announced that they would, yet again, return to their chart ranking system since April 22, 2017. [6]

In June 2023 MBC reactivated their YouTube channel MBC World. In October 2023 it was announced that the chart show is officially available for live streaming for fans worldwide.

Controversy

On 20 April 2013, MBC introduced a brand new ranking system for Show! Music Core, and as such had nominated INFINITE, K.Will, Davichi, and Lee Hi for the first place award. Singer K.Will was mistakenly announced as the winner. He looked confused, and was about to say thanks when the Show! Music Core staff quickly informed everyone on stage that there had been a mistake and that INFINITE was the actual winner. K.Will laughed it off and said: "It's okay, I’m okay." He shouted, "I love INFINITE!" The INFINITE members looked unsure about accepting the trophy.

Afterwards, the staff of the show was highly criticized by viewers. The staff made a statement on their official board and said,

This is the 'Show! Music Core' staff. There was a mistake in announcing the 1st-place winner on the 20 April broadcast. This was a mistake because the text votes were mixed up for the two 1st place nominees. The two team's scores are 100% fair results. The text votes accumulation company has promised to work harder to keep this from happening again. Please excuse us for not running a smooth live broadcast. Thank you. [11]
