With the entire K-entertainment industry is on hold to mourn ex-president Roh Moo Hyun's suicide, many fans are left wondering if/where/when their favorite groups will perform on the three major music shows: KBS Music Bank, MBC Music Core, and SBS Inkigayo. allkpop is here to clear up the confusion. KBS Music Bank, which normally airs on Fridays at 6:35 PM Korean Time (5:35 AM EST), was not recorded this week, as the three major networks (KBS, MBC, and SBS) held off all entertainment programs until after Roh Moo Hyun's funeral on May 29th. MBC Music Core, which normally airs on Saturdays at 4:20 PM Korean Time (3:20 AM EST), was also not recorded this week. But, because last week's recording never went on air, MBC will broadcast last week's recording during this week's time slot. The main feature of last/this week's Music Core was/will be Son Dambi's goodbye stage, in which she performed/will perform last year's hit "Crazy" and her newest single, "Saturday Night" (that sentence felt like some damned SAT verb tense practice). Dambites are looking forward to more chair-dancing, but some (aka me) hope she exchanges those Saturday Night football pads and alien eyelashes for some more flattering finale clothing. Music Core will also mark the first performance from Han Una on one of the three major music shows (she already performed on M.Net Countdown ). Finally, SBS Inkigayo, which normally airs on Sundays at 3:15 Korean Time (do the math), was not recorded last week. But the show did it's usual tabulation of music charts anyway, and 2PM won it's third Mutizen for it's hit "Again & Again", earning itself a triple crown! Congrats to the boys. Now since a song can only win up to three Mutizens, the seven hunks are out of the running for this week's award - so Hottests, don't panic when they don't win. But, news reports state that for Inkigayo the group will perform a special remix of "Again & Again" and reveal their own version of the Energy Song. Adding to the excitement, 2NE1 will finally perform "Fire" for the second time after fourteen days of waiting. Heck, if they had waited a couple more weeks, 2NE1 could have called it a comeback stage! After a week and a half of minimal entertainment news, K-Pop comes back this weekend, and allkpop will be here to bring all of the action to you.
