Mnet 'M Countdown' will 
broadcast a special episode to mark its 20th anniversary.
The World No. 1 K-pop chart show 'M Countdown' is a representative music broadcast on Mnet and began broadcasting in 2004 to mark its 20th anniversary this year. 'M Countdown', which will be broadcast on the 18th, will be decorated as a special 20th anniversary special and will be filled with a wealth of entertainment from a special collaboration stage to a VCR.

On this day, the special broadcast for the 20th anniversary of 'M Countdown' will feature a special stage decorated by current and former MCs. In addition to the joint stage of Sung Han-bin, Myung Jae-hyun, and So-hee, who have been working together since January, the duet stage between (G)I-DLE Mi-yeon and Sung Han-bin, who worked together as MCs last year, will be prepared.

Singer and rapper Lee Young-ji, who recently swept various music charts with his song "Small Girl" and once again proved his irreplaceable presence, and Myung Jae-hyun, a member of BOYNEXTDOOR with his unique trendy and freewheeling team color, have also been collaborated, drawing attention from the music industry.

TWS, which made its debut song a hit and imprinted its presence, is preparing to cover SEVENTEEN, the senior group of its agency. As they made their debut in the music industry by attracting attention as "SEVENTEEN's Younger Group", it is expected that they will complete a stage where they can get a glimpse of the warm chemistry between their seniors and juniors.

It also adds attractions with colorful VCRs. Special VCRs will be prepared from the corner that examines the history of the past 20 years of "M Countdown" to the mini awards ceremony "2024 M Countdown Mini Awards", which presents a surprise award to artists who have outstanding performances over the past 20 years.

Marking the 20th anniversary, the corner of memories 'MCD MV' will also be revived. 'M Countdown' is a segment that presents a music video by reinterpreting K-pop masterpieces. Attention is focusing on which artist and which song will have been reinterpreted through the 20th anniversary 'M Countdown '.

Under the concept of several artists sharing a song, 'Vocal Challenge', which is loved by K-pop fans, will also be prepared. Through this vocal challenge, you can see BTS's 'Poem for the Little Things' which is the number one stage view in the history of 'M Countdown' with the voices of K-pop rookies. The representative popular corner of 'M Countdown', which will compete in various games, will also herald the all-time difficulty and scale, and will shine on the 20th anniversary special.

The show will be hosted by actor Ahn Jae-hyun as a special MC along with the first MC U-Know Yunho, who was with the start of M Countdown. Ahn Jae-hyun also has a history of being an MC of 'M Countdown', so expectations are high on the special broadcast to see how the two people who hold the microphone will perform for the first time in a long time.

The 20th anniversary special broadcast of 'M COUNTDOWN' will air at 6 p.m. on the 18th.
