K-wave year-end celebrations are in full swing as the late November award season has kicked off an exciting tribute to the talents in the K-pop and K-drama scenes. December is set to amp things up even more, not just by adding more award shows but also by creating a vibe of celebration and fun, putting competition on the back burner.

The upcoming KBS Song Festival, also known as KBS Gayo Daechukje, which took on the Music Bank Global Festival name last year, is gearing up to make waves in South Korea and Japan. This year's theme, “infinity,” will bring together artists “traveling through different times and spaces” through the magic of music.

The festival will be split into two parts: the 2024 Music Bank Global Festival in Japan and the 2024 KBS Song Festival in Korea, kicking off a three-day celebration. The Japanese segment will take place over two days, hosted by K-drama stars Shin Ye Eun and Moon Sang Min, along with LE SSERAFIM's Hong Eunchae at the Mizuho PayPay Dome in Fukuoka on December 14 and 15. Meanwhile, Zico, IVE's Jang Wonyoung, and K-drama actor Kim Young Dae will take the stage as hosts on December 20 at KINTEX in Ilsan.
