SBS’s Inkigayo is back once again, and this week’s show was full of amazing and fun performances from the top participating K-pop artists!
As reported earlier, CNBLUE’s Jung Yonghwa left his hosting position last week due to an increasing workload, and his replacements, IU and B2ST’s Kikwang, began their journey today alongside existing hosts, 2AM’s Jo Kwon and f(x)’s Sulli as a new 4-membered MC team.
The ‘Take 7‘ nominees for the March 20th episode of Inkigayo were Lee Hyun (“You Are The Best of My Life“), K-Will (“My Heart is Beating“), MBLAQ (“Again“), Big Bang (“Tonight“), Kan Mi Youn (“Paparazzi“), Song Ji Eun feat. Bang Yong Guk (“Going Crazy“), and G.NA (“Black & White“).
Due to various reasons, Kan Mi Youn, Song Ji Eun, and G.NA did not perform today.
Having already won triple crowns through “M! Countdown” and “Music Bank“, Big Bang claimed their 3rd triple crown by winning the ‘Mutizen’ once more on “Inkigayo” this afternoon.
Congratulations to Big Bang!

TVXQ follows up with ‘Before U Go’ on Inkigayo
After making their comeback two months ago with their power dance track “Keep Your Head Down,” the TVXQ boys took a temporary hiatus to recharge and have now returned on today’s Inkigayo with their repackaged album and brand new title track, “Before U Go“, for their follow-up promotions.
“Before U Go” is a traditional R&B track with heavy emotions, where Yunho and Changmin’s vocals were put at center focus. The song is unique in that it moves not only according to melody, but rhythm is well. The song switches back and forth between an 8-beat and 32-beat vocal rhythm.
Check out their stage performance of this R&B track below!
Wheesung makes a comeback on Inkigayo
After a long hiatus, Wheesung finally made his comeback on this week’s SBS’s Inkigayo.
Wheesung’s single album contains a total of three tracks, “Maybe,” “Person I Know,” and “Words That Freeze My Heart,” all of which were composed, written, and produced entirely by him. Not only that, but the multi-talented singer even directed his album concept, performance, and music video.
His title track, “Words That Freeze My Heart”, features a strong beat with an impressive orchestrated melody that works to bring out the sorrow in Wheesung’s deep voice.
B2ST’s Junhyung also makes a guest feature with an addictive rap part that connects to a piano solo, which gives the song a more dramatic effect. But Cube Entertainment has expressed that there are no plans for Junhyung to appear on stage with Wheesung so far.
So in place of Junhyung, INFINITE’s Hoya appeared on stage with Wheesung.
Without further ado, check out his comeback stage below, which also includes “With Me!”
