As the Korean wave continues to captivate fans around the world, audiences in Southeast Asia can expect to catch more than 200 hours of K-pop programming for the first time on MTV Asia. Over the next two years, viewers will get more access to today’s hottest K-pop artists under the “MTV K Krush” line-up which includes a slate of idol reality shows Real Guys BtoB, Hyuna’s Free Month, and Plan VIXX Diary and music shows The Stage Big Pleasure and The Show: All About K-Pop to be launched on the channel this month. This new line-up of K-Pop shows are produced by SBS MTV, MTV’s South Korean joint venture network and will complement existing Korean music programmes K-Wave and K-Wave Karaoke airing on the channel.

“Korean pop culture is hugely popular in Asia and fans have been telling us they can’t get enough of their favourite K-pop music bands and idols. MTV is answering their call with added music shows that allow them to watch performances by new bands, well-known artists, and rising stars from the Korean music industry while the reality shows offer a revealing look into their personal and professional lives,” said Paras Sharma, Vice President of MTV and Comedy Central Brands and Digital Media, Viacom International Media Networks Asia.
