While held yearly, the 2020 KBS Song Festival will be going on without a physical audience this year for the very first time. Under the theme Connect, the current edition will revolve around connecting artists and fans in a new way, as a result of the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. This will entail never-seen-before performances, alongside exciting collab stages, interactions, and more.
