Bae Cheol-soo's Music Camp (Korean: 배철수의 음악캠프) is a South Korean radio show hosted by Bae Cheol-soo on MBC FM4U since 1990.[1][2][3] It has been live every evening from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m.[4] and one of the longest-running radio programs in South Korea.[5]

This is a radio show that offered foreign pop songs instead of K-pop.[6][7] However, the songs of Kpop singers are introduced when they reach the Billboard charts such as Psy's[8] and BTS's.[9]

Sometimes, requested songs related to specific events appear, for example, when Meatspin was popular in South Korea in 2008, Dead or Alive's You Spin Me Round (Like a Record)[10] and Yes' Roundabout, which was the ending song when the first season of the JoJo's Bizarre Adventure anime aired in Japan in 2012.[11]
