The KBS Song Festival has been held at the end of every year since 1965. Initially, it was held as an award show, and the last singer to win the KBS Music Award was Kim Jong Kook. In 2006, the program was introduced as a non-competitive music festival. It features 20 to 30 stage performances by various K-pop bands and artists.
