Inkigayo is a popular South Korean music television show that airs every Sunday on SBS.
It serves as a major platform for K-pop artists to showcase their latest songs through live performances.
Each week, the show features a chart ranking called the “Inkigayo Chart,” which combines digital sales, physical album sales, social media votes, and broadcast points to determine the top songs.
The show concludes with the announcement of the number one song, and the winning artist or group receives a trophy.
Inkigayo is also known for its special stages, where artists might perform unique versions of their songs or collaborate with other performers.
The show is a vital part of the K-pop promotional cycle, providing significant exposure for artists and helping them connect with their fans.
