Despite the 'Zeze' controversy and despite no broadcast promotions, IU managed to snag first place on MBC's 'Show! Music Core'! 


On the November 14 airing of the music program, IU's "Twenty-three" surpassed f(x)'s "4 Walls" and Taeyeon's "I," after a comprehensive total of the ranking categories--physical album/digital sales, MV views, and pre-voting by viewers committee--were calculated. 


IU's win marks the last first place on 'Show! Music Core!' before the program's complete reboot and implementation of a new format starting next week. 


SEE ALSO: A 50 Billion KRW (34.9 million USD) Korean Drama falls to record-low ratings of 1% after just 5 Episodes


Regarding the decision to restructure the show, an MBC rep stated, "In place of discontinuing the ranking system, we plan to strengthen the prestige and value of a music program by propelling the revamp in the direction of showcasing a more wide variety of genres." 


With this complete reboot, SHINee's Minho, Red Velvet's Yeri, and VIXX's N wills step down as MCs and will be replaced by Kim Sae Ron and Kim Min Jae


You can watch the performance and the announcement of the win around the 58:40 mark above.
