MBC’s 'Music Core' has long been one of the most prominent K-pop music programs, offering artists a platform to showcase their talents and deliver some of the most iconic performances in K-pop history.

Back in the day, this special format had K-pop artists performing live at unexpected outdoor venues, from helipads and theme parks to city plazas and waterparks, sometimes with a crowd, sometimes without. For many old K-pop fans, this was a golden era, and these stages were more than musical experiences; they were cherished moments and a type of magic they still hope to see again.
