Hello Venus.

What Are You Doing Today?

January week 1, M Countdown, this week's top 10, and

this week's No. 1 candidates;

Secret VS Yang Yo-seob.

Voting to decide this week's number 1 starts now.

Who will be the honored winner of 2013's first M Countdown No. 1?

Number 1 candidates despite a car accident, Secret,

and aiming for his triple crown at the start of the year, Yang Yo-seob.

Out of the two candidates, text your vote for your favorite.

You can't repeat-vote.

Don't change the channel either.

Because today's M Countdown has both dancing queens SNSD,

and the ballad queen Baek Ji-young,

until the end of the show,

Don't touch that dial! Freeze!

So shall we see some music prepared for today's M Countdown?

These girls have strong voices.

The Seeya's Poison.

January week 1, M Countdown rankings from 20th to 11th:

20th: Lonely by SPICA

19th: I Need You by Kim Sung-kyu

18th: Humanoids by TVXQ

17th: Have You Fallen In Love by Lee Jung

16th: It'd Be Nice If It Were You by Shin Hye-sung

14th: Did You Forget Everything by 2BiC

13th: Poison by The Seeya

12th: All The Same by Urban Zakapa

11th: Evening Sky by Ailee

Those were the rankings for 20th to 11th place.

Here is No. 12, Urban Zakapa's All The Same.

SNSD's comeback performance is coming up quite soon.

I'm already nervous.

Me too.

In this single, we've taken off our high heels.

That's right.

We're back to sneakers.

The first time since Into the New World.

Yes.

That's how powerful our performance is,

so please look forward to it.

But it's not just SNSD; Mnet has also prepared a huge

global project for 2013.

That's right.

And a new evolved audition program.

And a new evolved audition program.

Yeah, it'll be great.

And, Hyo-yeon, there's another thing to look forward to now.

It's 2013 M Countdown's first glorious number 1.

That's right.

Who could it be?

Shall we have a look at how the mobile voting is going?

Shall we?

Secret has 10.5%, and Yang Yo-seob has 89.5%,

so Yang Yo-seob is in the lead at the moment.

But there's still a lot of time left

so Secret fans don't need to worry just yet, but

send in your vote right now.

That's right.

I think Secret fans might be feeling a little nervous now.

Calling C-Clown. Far Away.\

I'm a man who loves K-pop more than anyone else; Jung Teok.

I'm Oda Gil.

We are here today to give you a look at K-pop's 2013 forecast.

Just like Psy and Busker Busker's empire of music last year,

which I suppose we can call the growth of the concept lands.

But aren't SNSD making a comeback this year?

I like SNSD.

With their bright smiles, SNSD are certain to reclaim their place on

the continent of idols.

The kingdom of Baek Ji-young is also making a comeback.

The K-pop world war will be fierce in January.

But there's also Sistar, who have been forging ground since last year.

Republic of Hyo-rin and Bo-ra.

I like the good mental image thinking of that gives me.

Sistar 19.

I like that sort of thing.

Infinite H is too weak.

Weak.

They've got Ho-ya and Dong-woo, to make their Infinite Ya-Dong.

I like Ya-Dong.

When you say it like that, I end up hoping for something more.

I know.

What about 4Minute's double-yoon?

Double-yoon.

Double-yoon.

Is that a real name?

That... I'm not sure.

Double-yoon.

I like that name; it's a powerful name.

It's good.

Pass.

Starting with SNSD, the various idol unit groups

have begun to re-draw the K-pop idol map.

That is not certain.

There's also another prediction for the 2013 music world.

I heard that Cho Yong-pil, Lee Seung-chul and Seo Tai-ji,

these three legendary planets will be shaking the world soon.

If that happens, who knows what will happen to the K-pop map.

Only the strongest will survive.

The strongest...

I know the answer.

Have you got it?

Individuals like Psy.

That means there's only 2 people for the year 2013.

In that case? Jung Teok!

Oda Gil!

We would like to apologize for that.

Let's now take a look at one of the K-pop contenders

for the new year, 2013.

Who are we?

Gee Gee!

We're finally back!

A new year's wish?

Tell me your wish!

Please enjoy our performance even more than ever before.

Tell me your wish!

I hope that SNSD can have another full concert in Korea.

Happy New Year!

Lee Moon-sae.

Lee Seung-hwan.
