Music on Top
Hosted by Yoon Doo-joon of Beast and actor Lee Hyun-woo, it aired live every Wednesday from Hoam Art Hall in Jung-gu, Seoul.News media attributed this to the show's inability to distinguish itself from the multitude of popular music programs being broadcast by other cable and terrestrial networks at the time, and its failure to improve its consistently low viewership.Multiple news outlets reported the reason for the change as the increasing difficulty in procuring more artists to appear on the show since most were choosing to attend M Countdown instead.[9] Producer Kim Hyung-joong denied the show was being cancelled and stated that a two-week hiatus—during which time new ideas for the show would be prepared[12]—had originally been planned due to JTBC's development of an internal broadcasting system, but was now being extended to four to six weeks[12] since it overlapped with the elections broadcast slated for April 11.[13] An official from the network reiterated that this was not an indication of cancellation, but rather a "rest" or "holiday" decided on internally by the company, and there were plans to resume broadcasting in the latter part of the year.
