Trivia
SBS Power FM is South Korea's top-rated FM station. In the latest 2020 first quarter radio survey, SBS Power FM topped the ranking followed by TBS FM at number 2, CBS Music FM at number 3, MBC FM4U at number 4, KBS Radio 2 at number 5 and the sister Love FM at number 6. Devoted SBS Power FM listeners mostly in their 20s to 30s are called Everlasting because the station is the only one to air solely K-pop music (unlike KBS Cool FM and MBC FM4U — the former of which airs mostly trot at some shows whereas the latter also airs foreign music at some timeslots) due to the popularity of the station the fans wants the FM station to last forever.
