LeeMujin Service (Korean: 리무진 서비스; RR: Rimujin seobiseu) is a South Korean talk show and live music web television program hosted by South Korean singer-songwriter Lee Mu-jin. The program airs every Tuesday at 6 pm KST on the YouTube channel KBS Kpop and a re-run airs on KBS2 every Tuesday at 11 pm KST. It features live music performances without an audience. The name of the show is a pun on the phrase "limousine service"; the Korean pronunciation of "limousine" sounds identical to the American pronunciation of the host's name Lee Mu-jin.

Format

The current format involves a guest opening the show with the most recent song released by the guest's group (or their own song if the guest is a solo artist). The show proceeds with the guest singing two songs (called "live services") and is followed by a duet with Lee. The set list for each show is planned in advance. The only instrumental accompaniment in the show is from a keyboardist whose hands are the only visible body part. In addition to the two "live services" and the duet, Lee asks the guest about their music career and also asks the guest to sing fragments of other songs (like their audition song, a song from a different genre, a song from a senior singer they admire, etc.)

Development

This show marks Lee Mu-jin's debut as an MC.

Accompaniment

• The show only has a pianist on-site providing the song's accompaniment and usually only their hands are shown. The show has so far used three pianists: Jung Dae-hoon (Ep. 1-79), Kim Hae-seung (Ep. 80-142) and Choi Su-ji (current).
