(G)I-DLE brought the summer vibes to “Show! Music Core” with their new song “Klaxon.” This cute and playful track features lyrics that confess love in a unique way, comparing it to the sound of a car horn. The refreshing melody and the members’ charming choreography made their performance a standout.
ENHYPEN took the stage to showcase tracks from their new album. They performed the title track “XO (Only If You Says Yes)” and “Hundred Broken Hearts,” a song that tells the story of a boy falling for someone from another world.
NewJeans made their much-anticipated return to “Show! Music Core” since their debut in July 2022. Hyein, who had previously been recovering from an ankle injury, rejoined her groupmates on stage.

GOT7’s Choi Young-jae made a solo comeback on “Show! Music Core” after an 8-month hiatus. He performed his new song “T.P.O,” a track with a catchy melody reminiscent of a summer road trip. The song’s title cleverly uses the acronym for “Time,” “Place,” and “Occasion” to convey the message that “This moment with you here is perfect.”
Dreamcatcher brought their two-part parallel world saga to a close with their tenth mini-album. The title track “JUSTICE” is a powerful anthem that expresses the fight against evil. The group’s conceptual stage, where they transformed into heroes, delivered a visually stunning performance.
