Show! Music Core (Hangul: 쇼! 음악중심; Hanja: ; RR: Syo! Eumak Jungsim) is a South Korean music television program broadcast by MBC. It airs live every Saturday at 3:50 PM KST. The show features some of the latest and most popular artists who perform live on stage. It is hosted by Kim Sae-ron, Cha Eun-woo and Lee Soo-min since October 2016. It is broadcast from MBC Dream Center in Goyang, Gyeonggi-do, South Korea.
Prior to the current Show! Music Core, numerous music programs with similar content were aired on MBC. Below is the list in chronological order.
Live Music Camp was cancelled due to a broadcast accident of revealing genitalia.
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.
On March 11, 2013, MBC announced 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.
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.”
