One of our beloved reader asked us on how does the SBS determine the Inkigayo winners. Here's how:

Inkigayo is shown every Sunday at 4.10pm. Inkigayo determines their Mutizen winner weekly through their chart called Take 7. The ranking takes into account street surveys, album sales, online/mobile music sales, numbers showing on TV and votes from mobile.

Take 7 participants are announced before the show and winner is revealed at the end. You can only win the Mutizen award for a maximum of 3 times.

Music Core is shown every Saturday at 3.10pm and is currently hosted by So Nyeo Shi Dae. They do have a ranking system in the past but have since scrapped it and is now purely a music show. But it’s rumored that the last singer/group who performs is considered to be the No.1 academically.
