[Asia Economy Intern Reporter Park Hee-eun] On the 28th, MBC's 'Show! Music Core' featured BTS, ITZY, and Zico as the candidates for first place, while Kang Daniel and Ong Seong-wu made their comebacks.

The songs nominated for first place were BTS's "ON," ITZY's "WANNABE," and Zico's "Amu Nore" (Any Song).

BTS achieved first place for four consecutive weeks without appearing on Music Core. The previous day on KBS2's 'Music Bank,' NCT 127 took first place by beating BTS, drawing attention to whether ITZY and Zico can take BTS's top spot on 'Music Core' as well.

On this broadcast, Kang Daniel, Ong Seong-wu, as well as ONEUS and Kisum, will perform comeback stages with new songs.

On the 28th's 'Show! Music Core,' other performers include Youngji, NCT 127, Sejeong, VICTON, DONGKIZ, MCND, AB6IX, RIA, K-TIGERS ZERO, and Yoohee (Chic Angel).

MBC's 'Show! Music Core' airs every Saturday at 3:30 PM.
