KBS Song Festival 2017: EXO, BTS, Wanna One and Seventeen to set stage on fire

KBS Song Festival 2017 will be held at the KBS Hall on December 29. The event will kick-off at 8.30 pm KST and popular K-Pop groups, including EXO and BTS, are lined up to perform.

The organisers of the musical program have already revealed that they are going on a smaller scale because of the ongoing strike. According to the representative, the participants will be given more space to showcase their skills.

"It was decided in a rush that it will be held, so there is a lot that has to be prepared. It will be focused on individual stages from artists, and it is likely that there will be less artists than last year. It can be seen as somewhat of an expanded version of the Music Bank end-of-year episode," Soompi quoted the KBS representative.
