Inkigayo (인기가요; Popular Music) is a popular South Korean weekly music show that has been on the air since . It airs Sunday at 3:50PM on SBS. It's currently hosted by 2AM's member Jo Kwon, f(x)'s Sulli, BEAST's Lee Ki Kwang and IU.

The show started on December 15, 1991, but was later canceled on October 24, 1993, and revived in February 1998. In 2003, the original chart format was removed and replaced by the segment "Take 7". In 2007, after a decrease on the ratings the started it's actual live broadcast instead of the previous recorded one.

Regular Segments

Take 7

Take 7 is the main segment of the show. Each week seven artists with new/popular releases are featured in this segment, usually with the artists preforming on the show. At the end of the program one of the artists is awarded with the Mutizen Song award, and like Power Rookie award, the artists is chosen weekly by online votes (Mutizen is a mix of the words Music and Netizen). Since 2004, when an artist wins three Mutizen Awards with the same song, called "Triple Crown", it's removed from the competition and therefor from the "Take 7" segment.

Specials

"Comeback" and "Goodbye" specials are broadcast regularly when popular artists start or end their current releases promotions. Usually more than one song is performed by each artist.

Power Rookie

Each week a "new" artist performs on the show and competes for a monthly award. The award is chosen by viewers through online votes on the show' website. Lee Ki Kwang is the only artist to have won this award twice, first as a solo singer and later as member of the group BEAST; additionally Lee has also been chosen as host for the show.

Hot Music

Popular/hot songs are performed on this section, however the artists don't aspire to the "Take 7" award.

Fresh Music
