Due to the Sewol ferry tragedy, Music Bank did not air again last Friday.

However, news from KBS 2TV has surfaced regarding an upcoming special episode.

K-Pop fans will be beyond excited to know that Music Bank is going to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil on June 7th.

The World Cup Music Bank special will serve as extra motivation for the South Korean national men's soccer team.

The organizers and stars want to support, cheer, and send encouraging words to the national team in order to give them the momentum and the fighting Korean spirit to win against their opponents.

Soccer fans have been waiting for the roster for the South Korean team that will be competing in this year's FIFA World Cup.
