Airdate
'Show! Music Core' is a weekly music show broadcast by MBC. It airs live every Saturday at 3.45 pm KST / 1.45 am EST. Fans, get ready for the exciting new episode!
Concept
'Show! Music Core' is recording the new episode this week and Minho is slated to appear not only as a special guest host but also as a performer. His appearance will be reminiscent for both the singer and his fans, as Minho is an honorary retired MC of the show. In the past, Minho hosted the program with partners like actress Kim So Hyun, Suzy, and singer/actress Jiyeon. Other MCs in previous episodes have included Kim Min Ju, Cha Ni, Hyunjin, Mina, Mark and Ong Seong Wu.
It is unclear what material the rapper will perform as Minho is seemingly keeping it a surprise, but there is a likely chance it will be a song(s) from SHINee's new album.
