Music shows are a staple and a part of a tradition in K-pop, and it's something unique to South Korea. It's a great way to watch performances of your favorite k-pop artists, but most importantly -- it's a great way to stay in the loop of all things k-pop.
Another fun factor of watching a music show is seeing the chemistry between the hosts! Last week, we were able to take a look at some special emcee stages from KBS's Music Bank, whereas today -- we'll be able to take a look at some special stages from MCs from MBC's Show! Music Core!
Show! Music Core aired for the first time in 2005 and has had a great history of having spectacular MCs, with most of them being active singers from the industry! Sometimes, they treat us with their own special stages, which fans absolutely adore. Today, we'll be checking a few of them out, and man -- you wish they were a co-ed group themselves. Let us know your thoughts, and make sure to let us know who your favorites are!
Girls Generation Tiffany & Yuri (feat. Natsun) - Come to Play
We can't forget the legends who were the hosts of this great show. They were so great that they left, and they came back again to do it for a whole year!
Girls Generation Tiffany & Yuri - Baby Baby
This isn't your GG's Baby Baby, but the two took on this ballad track by 4MEN, showing off their chemistry even more!
SHINee Minho & Kim So Hyun - Why Do You?
These two MCs took us a trip down memory lane when they sang this iconic nineties hit! The newtro vibes were in even before it became a thing!
Kim Minjae & Kim Saeron - Me Gustas Tu
We were able to see an actor & actress pair as emcees for the first time in a very long time, and fans were absolutely amazed by their singing and dancing skills!
Kim Saeron, Lee Soomin & ASTRO Cha Eun Woo - Must Have Love
Christmas of 2016 was extra special when these three visual superstars serenaded us with a classic - "Must Have Love!"
ASTRO Cha Eun Woo & PRISTIN Siyeon - Girlfriend
Lucky Cha Eun Woo was able to collaborate with not only Siyeon but the entire group of PRISTIN to welcome Siyeon as the MC!
gugudan Mina & NCT Mark - A Midsummer Night's Sweetness
Hearts were coming out of our eyes when we saw this new duo as the hosts of Music Core!
SF9 Chani & Stray Kids Hyunjin - Fools + Attention + I Like It
A warm welcome for the two new male MCs that absolutely dominated this era of Music Core!
NCT Jungwoo & IZ'ONE Minju & Stray Kids Lee Know - Walk
This was the hot welcome of the most recent emcees of Music Core, and they have been responsible for over a year of our Music Core weekly episodes!
NCT Jungwoo & IZ'ONE Minju & Stray Kids Lee Know - Balloons
Who says an emcee stage can only happen in the first week? These three stars collaborated together to present another legendary song that got us in the feels!
What are your thoughts on this list? With eight years of history for this music show, these stages are pretty iconic. MC chemistry is something many k-pop fans look forward to, and with idol stars taking the roles of MCs more and more, k-pop fans are happy to see some of their biases as MCs. Which stage was your favorite? Is there one that was missed on this list? Make sure to let us know in the comments below!
Thanks for reminding me of the fun 2nd gen MC stages! I love going back to when people fully sang live, even if it wasn't perfect, it's so much more exciting to watch :)
