'KBS Song Festival 2023' Potentially Heading to Japan

AKP STAFF

On June 19, Star News reported that KBS will hold the '2023 Song Festival (Gayo Daechukje)' on December 9 at the Veruna Dome in Tokorowaji, Saitama Prefecture, Japan.

The KBS Song Festival is an annual music show that airs at the end of the year. The event brings together various artists to celebrate their achievements of that year. The KBS Song Festival first aired in 1965 as an award show. However, in 2006, KBS discontinued the award show but continued the tradition as a music festival. Since then, many artists have prepared amazing performances for the fans.

The recent whispers suggesting that this year's KBS Song Festival might be held in Japan have stirred significant debate about the appropriateness of hosting a Korean music event on foreign soil.

As concerns over this matter rising, KBS told News1, "It is not yet confirmed that the 'KBS Song Festival' will take place in Japan. We are still in the reviewing stages."


Nevertheless, netizens continue to debate whether this year's song festival should be held in Japan. Netizens commented, "Why would they have a Korean song festival overseas, moreover, in Japan?" "Do they have to move this festival overseas?" "Why is KBS even considering having this year's song festival in Japan?" "This makes no sense. It's a Korean song festival. Why do they want to hold it in Japan?" and "This is a Korean major broadcast music show. Why would they have it in Japan?"

Wonder why they would do that? Are they planning to hold it with a bunch of Korean bands who are now based in Japan perhaps?
