The Korean music program "THE SHOW" ended with the broadcast on November 11, 2025. "THE SHOW" first aired in Korea in 2011 and continued for 14 years in a seasonal format, closing its 14 years of broadcasting with the episode on November 11. This season started on March 4, with CRAVITY's Hyunjoon, NCT's Xiaojun, and izna's Jeong Sevi serving as MCs, and with the end of the program, the three also graduated. NCT's Xiaojun served as the MC of SBS funE "THE SHOW" from March 28, 2023, until yesterday (the 11th), energizing K-POP fans' Tuesdays with his stylish hosting and bright, cheerful energy. He showcased a strong presence in various challenge segments, being called the 'Ruler of Challenges,' bringing vitality to the show. Having been active as an MC for about 2 years and 8 months, he stated, "'THE SHOW' is a 'loving place' where many artists can dream and have their efforts recognized. I was able to achieve many dreams and goals myself, and I think it will forever remain in my heart as the 'best music program.' I am truly happy to have been able to take on my first MC challenge at 'THE SHOW.' I sincerely thank all the staff, artists, and fans who have supported me until now." Additionally, CRAVITY's Hyunjoon also served as an MC for about 2 years (17 months) from March 19, 2024, until yesterday. He expressed through his agency STARSHIP Entertainment, "It was very good to be with 'THE SHOW' since last year. I was honored to be together from 'Pudins' to 'Enhuz,' and I was happy every week to be called 'Kurupankannezu' to 'Sonding' and 'Mongulchun.' This year, not only did I work as an MC on 'THE SHOW,' but I also achieved first place with the title track 'SET NET G0?!' from my 2nd full album, and the memories of sharing that joy with LUVITY (the fan name) are vivid and even more special." He continued, "I am very grateful to LUVITY who came to visit and watch every week, to the production team who worked hard for a fun program, to the staff of STARSHIP Entertainment, and to the supportive members." Furthermore, Jeong Sevi from izna, who added the sensibility of the MZ generation and infused fresh vitality into the program, continued to deliver laughter and enjoyment to viewers with diverse segments and stable hosting even in the final broadcast. After announcing the final first place, Jeong Sevi became emotional, with red eyes filled with gratitude for the time spent. Receiving a bouquet from her colleagues, she said, "I really appreciate being loved this much. I was happy to be with such good seniors, and thank you for making my Tuesdays happy." In the last broadcast of "THE SHOW," AHOF, who is active with the title track "Pinocchio Hates Lies" from their 2nd mini-album "The Passage," won the trophy.
