Important Weekly Dates to Remember

Weekly Korean TV shows are crucial to the development of developing Kpop groups, as any ardent Kpop fan knows. Wins on music competitions are a significant and emotional milestone for a lot of people, including the supporters who have worked so hard to support their favorite artists by watching their music videos, pre-voting, voting throughout the competition, and buying their records.

The most significant music programs, along with the days of each week they air (in Korea Standard Time), are listed below.

  • The Show (SBS MTV): Tuesdays
  • Show Champion (MBC M): Wednesdays
  • M! Countdown (Mnet): Thursdays
  • Music Bank (KBS2 and KBS World): Fridays
  • Show! Music Core (MBC): Saturdays
  • Inkigayo (SBS): Sundays

These music competitions are decided by fan voting, and even worldwide fans can participate in the majority of them via specialized mobile apps. Just remember to put a reminder on your calendar since pre-voting typically expires a few days before airing.

You don’t necessarily need to wait for a particular day of the year to have a small celebration for your favorite celebrities. Here are some additional ways Kpop fans spread the cheer all year long:

Ads for idols: Rent a billboard or an advertisement with the fans to draw notice to your bias. Alternately, consider making a charitable donation because many idols now prefer fan love to material presents.

Selca days: Use the correct hashtag to share a “selca” (or selfie) on social media with your favorite idol. Check out the complete Selca Days schedule here if you’re unsure of which day or hashtag to use.

Cup sleeve events: Creating your own cup sleeve event is a wonderful year-round option. With MyCreativeShop, you can quickly make personalized cup sleeves so you can move on to organizing the rest of the event’s decorations, activities, and giveaways. It’s quite simple!

Comeback parties: Throw a comeback celebration replete with idol party favors, idol trivia, or idol bingo whenever you hear about a new release. Even better, you might use a blank postcard template to create your own photocards.

Whatever the month, you have plenty of causes to celebrate and a full fandom to join you. A wonderful time!
