Weekly Idol (Hangul: 주간 아이돌; RR: Jugan Aidol) is a South Korean variety show, which airs Wednesdays, 6PM KST, on MBC Every1, MBC's cable and satellite network for comedy and variety shows. The show is hosted by comedian Jeong Hyeong-don and rapper Defconn. The set is often referred to as B3 (basement level 3).

The show consists of several segments, one of which is called "Idol of the Week", the main segment, features idol groups as the invited guests. The first idol group to record an episode and appear in the segment was Infinite. This segment usually consists of several featured corners:

During these segments, the talk is usually held without too much formality, giving a chance for the hosts to give a humorous remark about the idols, or conversely, the idols can playing around with the hosts’ lack of physical fitness, engaging in a slapstick activity with the hosts.

Before "Idol of the Week" started, Weekly Idol had only one segment that is "Real Chart! Idol Self-Ranking", where idols are asked to rank each other on different topics and the results are then presented. After "Real Chart! Idol Self-Ranking" ended there is new segment to replace it that is "I Wonder If You Know", where MCs and idols featured in this segment, Ilhoon (BtoB) and Bomi (Apink), guess one answer out of two choice given to them about idols with the winning team get food as prize. Replacing the previous segment is "Weekly Food Tasting" where MCs and featured idols, Hayoung (Apink), Mina (AOA), and N (VIXX), complete mission to win foods they want. The next new segment is "Idols are the Best!" where various missions are given to the 4 idols who are featured in this segment, Jackson (Got7), Jooheon (Monsta X), SinB (GFriend) and Dahyun (Twice), as well as the MCs.
