Hangang's Mystery Coffee Shop
Information
No. of Episodes	3+ (as of Mar 2025)
Premiere	January 2025
Production
MC	Rebecca Jung Lady Ruby

Hangang's Mystery Coffee Shop is a live concert series created and hosted by the Hangang Academy, a large organization of music professionals and artists across South Korea. The show is currently hosted by female rappers Rebecca Jung and Lady Ruby. Majority of profits earned from the show is donated to the Hangang Fund, the Hangang Academy's charity organization dedicated to helping provide resources for struggling musicians in the country. Streaming platform BE.LIV currently serves as a main sponsor of the show.

The show's format consists of five artists, invited by the organization, who perform a set of 5-6 songs each in a stripped back coffee shop setting. An audience of 60-80 people, consisting of a mix of both academy members and fans, the latter of which register and pay a reasonable price to participate in the event. Contrasting with the commercial performance centric system of cable music shows like Music Bank or Rankdown @ MBS, the audience votes on their favorite performance at the end of each show, with the winner being awarded by a black cat stuffed toy and a year-long 50% discount on the coffee shop's products. The show is speculated by music journalists to possibly serve as an indirect precursor for the nominee selection process of the Hangang Artistry Awards.
