Live Music Camp was cancelled due to a broadcast accident of revealing genitalia.{{cite web|url=http://english.donga.com/srv/service.php3?biid=2005080118148|title=Naked Bodies Shown for Five Seconds on Live TV|access-date=2014-03-26|archive-date=2014-10-24|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141024004022/http://english.donga.com/srv/service.php3?biid=2005080118148|url-status=live}}

After a brief hiatus, Show! Music Core began airing on October 29, 2005, with charts similar to its predecessors. However, the charts were removed on January 7, 2006, and it continues to air without any charts or awards. Even without the weekly chart award, the show was known for its special production and stages.

From 2007 to 2008, a "Mobile Ranking" segment was used to rank the popularity of songs downloaded to mobile phones and from online music sites.{{Cite news|url=http://www.segye.com/Articles/Spn/Entertainments/Article.asp?aid=20070602000318&ctg1=04&ctg2=00&subctg1=04&subctg2=00&cid=0101060400000&dataid=200706021610000074|script-title=ko:공중파 가요프로, 확 바뀐다|date=1 June 2007|publisher=Segye News|access-date=28 December 2010|language=ko|archive-date=29 March 2012|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120329044335/http://www.segye.com/Articles/Spn/Entertainments/Article.asp?aid=20070602000318&ctg1=04&ctg2=00&subctg1=04&subctg2=00&cid=0101060400000&dataid=200706021610000074|url-status=live}}

On March 11, 2013, MBC announced that they would return their chart system after seven years without the segment. The ranking system was reinstalled on April 20, 2013, with a first-place trophy given to the top song amongst the nominees for each week.{{Cite news|url=http://news.nate.com/view/20130311n37717|script-title=ko:'쇼! 음악중심', 7년 만에 순위제 부활 '시청자 투표가 관건'|date=11 March 2013|publisher=NATE|access-date=11 March 2013|language=ko|archive-date=13 April 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190413153454/https://news.nate.com/view/20130311n37717|url-status=live}}

November 21, 2015, MBC announced that their chart system would be removed once again. The MBC variety department said: "Instead of the ranking system, we intend to show more diverse genres of music and continue to work hard to be a representative music program of Korea."{{cite web|last=Lee|first=Kyung-ho|script-title=ko:MBC, '쇼!음악중심' 21일부터 순위제 전격 폐지|trans-title=MBC, 'Show!

On February 11, 2016, MBC announced a trial phase of their simultaneous live broadcast of Show! Music Core in HD and UHD (ultra-high-definition) utilizing a dedicated 4K camera, in preparation for their launch of UHD broadcasts scheduled for 2017. The trial phase had taken place February 13 through March 12, 2016.{{Update inline|date=March 2016}}{{Cite news|url=http://imnews.imbc.com/news/2016/culture/article/3877449_19794.html?menuid=culture|script-title=ko:MBC 쇼!음악중심, 13일부터 UHD· HD 동시 생방송|date=11 February 2016|publisher=MBC News|access-date=9 March 2016|language=ko|archive-date=10 March 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160310125344/http://imnews.imbc.com/news/2016/culture/article/3877449_19794.html?menuid=culture|url-status=live}}

On April 5, 2017, MBC announced that they would, yet again, return to their chart ranking system since April 22, 2017.{{Cite news|url=http://entertain.naver.com/read?oid=109&aid=0003511064|script-title=ko:[단독] '음악중심', 순위제 부활시킨다.."22일부터 시행"|last=Seon|first=MI-kyung|date=5 April 2017|work=Osen|access-date=5 April 2017|language=ko|archive-date=16 August 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170816053817/http://entertain.naver.com/read?oid=109&aid=0003511064|url-status=live}}

In June 2023 MBC reactivated their YouTube channel MBC World. In October 2023 it was announced that the chart show is officially available for live streaming for fans worldwide.

Controversy

On 20 April 2013, MBC introduced a brand new ranking system for Show! Music Core, and as such had nominated INFINITE, K.Will, Davichi, and Lee Hi for the first place award. Singer K.Will was mistakenly announced as the winner. He looked confused, and was about to say thanks when the Show! Music Core staff quickly informed everyone on stage that there had been a mistake and that INFINITE was the actual winner. K.Will laughed it off and said: "It's okay, I’m okay." He shouted, "I love INFINITE!" The INFINITE members looked unsure about accepting the trophy.

Afterwards, the staff of the show was highly criticized by viewers. The staff made a statement on their official board and said,

{{Blockquote

|text=This is the 'Show! Music Core' staff. There was a mistake in announcing the 1st-place winner on the 20 April broadcast. This was a mistake because the text votes were mixed up for the two 1st place nominees. The two team's scores are 100% fair results. The text votes accumulation company has promised to work harder to keep this from happening again. Please excuse us for not running a smooth live broadcast. Thank you.{{Cite news|url=http://news.nate.com/view/20130420n09388|script-title=ko:음악중심' 치명적 방송사고, 1위가 바뀌었다|date=April 20, 2013|publisher=NATE|access-date=April 20, 2013|language=ko|archive-date=December 12, 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141212060324/http://news.nate.com/view/20130420n09388|url-status=live}}
