2021 KBS Song Festival (2021 KBS Gayo Daechukje / KBS 가요대축제)

(2021 KBS Song Festival, live from KBS Hall)

Hello, everyone. Welcome to the 2021 KBS Song Festival.

Right.

What did the year 2021 have in store for you all?

I spent my 25th year in this world slightly lost at times,

being a little lonely, and as if I was in a dark tunnel.

Despite the long dark tunnel I was in,

I thought of the light at the end of it.

The greetings we shared while holding hands.

The conversations we had seeing smiles on each other's faces.

And the cheers we shared through our hearts.

Those moments meant more to us because we shared them together.

As we await the return of that sense of normalcy,

we bring you KBS Song Festival With.

(For our wellness, we had to spend time apart.)

(Kang Daniel, Kim Woo Seok, NU'EST, THE BOYZ)
