Show Champion


Show Champion is a South Korean music television program broadcast live by MBC Music every Wednesday at Bitmaru Broadcasting Center in Ilsan.

Segment

In 2013, the show's producers decided that the weekly music show would switch from pre-recorded format to a live show format. New changes to the show started with the episode on January 30, 2013. Since 2015 it also has a Triple Crown system used in Inkigayo and The Show, where the song is not eligible for top 3 anymore after winning three times.

Hosts

Prior 2013, the program selected the top 10 of the week and the chart winner by combining the following:
The song at the top of chart earned the title “Champion Song”. On the other hand, the star with the hottest issue was named as “Issue Champion”, while the best rookie was called “Rookie Champion”. The feature “Rookie Survival” gained particular attention because the audience was able to give scores during the live broadcast.
On September 4, 2012, the program was reorganized and the chart ranking system was abolished.
In 2013, the show underwent another reorganization, which resulted in the resurrection of the "Champion Song" ranking system with new criteria starting from January 30.
In 2017, the show underwent another change of chart point system, with the new criteria below.
From 2018 until 2020, the criteria for the chart point system was as below:
