Inkigayo: The Magazine?

That's right, the Take 7 of Inkigayo is now also a magazine. SBS Contents Hub's president Lee Nam Ki announced that they are creating the country's first music program magazine called SBS Inkigayo Magazine Take 7"... creative, right? SBS wants to take a step beyond the performances aired on TV, so this magazine will include interviews, pictures and much more. The first issue will feature special pages about artists that have been active from the first week of December to the third week, including 2PM, SHINee, CL & Minzy, BEAST, f(x), MBLAQ, and Rainbow. They will make up around 80 pages and definitely will be a hit to young people. An associate of SBS Contents Hub said, "This magazine represents the mainstream music features on Inkigayo. It's a new thing we're doing and everyone should keep an eye on it. We will have all kinds of music program information as well as concert news, behind-the-scenes features on music videos and more. We are aiming to become Korea's #1 music magazine." The first issue of the magazine will be up for grabs for those attending 2009 SBS Gayo Daejun for free. For those who are not in attendance, they will start hitting the stores in January and will come out with a new issue every 28 days. Doesn't sound so bad. I wouldn't mind a subscription to this magazine.
