Welcome to 2017 KBS Song Festival...
everyone.
Hello. I'm Kang Daniel of Wanna One.
2017 is almost over.
What was 2017 like for you?
For me, it was a miraculous year where my dream came true.
A miraculous song festival is waiting for you.
- Are you excited? - Yes!
All right then. I invite you to...
2017 KBS Song Festival.

2017 KBS Song Festival.
Hi, I'm Chan Yeol of EXO, the host of Part One.
- I'm Irene of Red Velvet. - I'm Sana of Twice.
Hello.
I'm Jin of BTS.
I'm honored to be here.
2017 KBS Song Festival.
We opened the festival with the entire cast's harmony.
Like the lyrics of "Music Is My Life", I believe...
music has cheered us up when we were down this year.
I hope today's show will make a lot of people happy.
This year's song festival...
will be sensational and special.
That's right. The theme of 2017 KBS Song Festival is...
a concert of confession.
Teams that have topped...
the Music Bank chart will perform as if it's their concerts,
so please look forward to their performances.
Also...
there's something that you shouldn't miss.
It's the special MC group.
It's a festival by and for the artists,
so each team will present an MC.
Please support them.
K-pop has shone brightly more than ever this year.
I want to see the festival that'll be like an exclusive concert.
Before we move on to that, the best singers...
would like to look back on 2017 and make a confession.
Let's listen to their confession first.
- Our confession starts... - Now!
(K-pop stars who shook the world with music in 2017)
(Revealed for the first time!)
(Their exclusive concerts will unfold at KBS Song Festival.)
(What was 2017 like for those who made us happy?)
- For the first time this year... - Tennis...
Mom. What should I do?
- In America... - I almost cried.
I praise you.
(Their confessions begin.)
(The last confession of 2017)
I challenged myself to do a musical for the first time.
The day I did the first show was...
the most memorable for me.
When we order whatever we want to eat,
so that becomes a really happy time.
On my birthday, Wanna One members...
wrote a happy birthday message for me.
I want to go back to the time...
before we started the world tour.
This year, I was really into slippers.
I think I bought 10 pairs.
I think I drank a few hundred...
cans of pear juice this year.
I don't think I need to drink it anymore.
It doesn't make sense to try...
to love
I gave myself a bed as a present.
That bed moves around...
on its own.
I bought my parents...
a massage chair for the first time.
They said they didn't need it.
But they were sleeping in that chair.
I became good friends with...
Wanna One members...
and other male singers. I'm doing well.
Woo Jin changed the shower head...
He fixed it. Thanks, Woo Jin.
I want to go to jimjilbang with the members.
No!
We have to go!
Thank you so much for being there for me all the time.
You've been living your life for me.
Now I want you to live for yourself, Mom.
I'll be there for you always.
I love you and thank you, Mom.
Mom. What should I do?
Mom. I will buy you a house next year.
I want to sing and dance better.
That's all I want.
There is more for you to show.
This is the last year for me as a teenager.
It'd be nice to have an ordinary day.
Good work.
(How was your 2017?)
(We'd like to make the last confession of 2017.)
(K-pop stars' concert of confession starts now!)
(2017 KBS Song Festival Interview)
I want to go back to the time when we had our exclusive concert.
I want to take a family photograph.
I want to say thank you to our manager.
I always feel bad for him.
Thank you.
(Wheein of Mamamoo)
Kim Hye Soo was the host. She said, "I'm a big fan."
I still remember that.
(Mamamoo's confession)
("Mr. Ambiguous" by Mamamoo)
- Mamamoo - Mamamoo
Are you interested in me?
Hey, mister.
Let's go, monster.
Everyone, together.
Everyone, scream!
("Piano Man" by Mamamoo)
Is everyone ready?
- Yes! - Let's go!
("Um Oh Ah Yeh" by Mamamoo)
All right.
Everybody, let's go.
(2017 Hit Song Medley by Mamamoo)
- 2, 3. I say Mamamoo. - Mamamoo.
- Hello, we're Mamamoo. - Hello, we're Mamamoo.
We get to have fun with you today...
at 2017 KBS Song Festival.
On top of our songs, we sang a medley...
of the hit songs of 2017.
If you enjoyed it, scream!
We're going to continue...
and sing something that'll...
show the color of Mamamoo.
Moon Byul, which song is it?
Yes.
It's a song that can show everyone what kind of group Mamamoo is.
Simply, Mamamoo is...
Let's go!
(Intro and "Yes I Am" by Mamamoo)
Are you ready?
(Live at KBS Hall)
KBS Song Festival.
(Live at KBS Hall)
It's my turn.
It's very hot.
Scream!
Thank you.
That was a wonderful performance by Mamamoo.
There's a reason why people call Mamamoo is great.
Their explosive vocals were like hurricane.
I thought I was watching a Broadway musical.
I'm really glad I got to enjoy Mamamoo's concert.
That was Mamamoo's 2017 hit song medley.
There are performances you can only see at a concert.
Performances of various concepts are ready to be shone here today.
I'd like to describe it as the best.
Listening to confessions made by artists...
that aren't easy to hear...
right before the performance...
warmed our hearts.
Do you want to hear more confessions?
From unexpected confessions to heartwarming ones,
there are more confessions to come.
I wonder what kind of confessions they are.
Fans are the ones who are happy to hear those confessions.
Yes, I am handsome.
2017 KBS Song Festival is...
being broadcast live in 117 countries.
The festival is more enjoyable...
because of the fans from all over the world.
Who is the next K-pop star?
Next up is Seventeen, a group that comes up with...
a concept and choreography themselves for a concert.
You get to share a lot of stories when you're doing a concert.
They told us that they had ups and downs...
coming up with ideas.
I wonder what their performance will be like.
- Seventeen's confession... - Starts now!
(2017 KBS Song Festival Interview)
Min Gyu, you've worked really hard.
I hope you don't miss the chances that are given to you.
I want to say thank you and I love you to my parents.
I was into my looks.
I didn't get to secretly go out with the members.
Thanks for being Seventeen.
(Seventeen's confession)
(Intro and "Don't Wanna Cry" by Seventeen)
(Seventeen's confession)
- Look. - All right.
Only 15 days left until 2017 KBS Song Festival.
We have all the references.
We need to show something we haven't shown before.
- That's right. - I was thinking that.
We need to show people something special.
How about a performance with KBS Orchestra?

We dreamed about that.

It's seven days before the festival.
How do you think they are doing?
(They're practicing hard.)
- Hello. - Hi.
What were you practicing?
It was the performance team practice.
- So... - It's so hard.
Does that mean you'll be performing as a unit?
- No. - You can't say that.
(It's a top secret.)
(Vocal team is practicing.)
(They're ready to steal ladies' hearts.)
I'm most worried about the performance.
I have no idea what we should do.
(A super close-up)
(Taken aback)
You zoomed in on my nose.
- Let's go. - Okay.
Let's go have a meeting.
Gosh, this is hard.

They have contrasting charms. GFriend's confession...
- starts now! - Starts now!
(2017 KBS Song Festival Interview)
I bought a few blushes.
I applied it, and everyone told me to throw it out.
I want to say to all the managers...
"Be happy".
You're all sitting in front of me. This is weird.
I love salmon sushi.
So I had salmon sushi only for a few months.
Mom sent me a text not too long ago. "Do you like me?"
I want to tell her that I love her the most in the world.
This year, GFriend was able to show you our various charms.

The theme is confession.
We want to make you a special memory,
so we prepared a surprise for you.
It's a couple's picture event where you can express...
your feelings that you couldn't because you were shy.
Shall we look at the pictures?
I'm curious.
- My goodness. - So cute.
- It's a nice family picture. - It's pretty.
A lot of people participated.
Various kinds of pictures were sent to us.
It'd be nice to express your feelings...
before 2017 goes by.
If you're still shy,
please have courage by hearing our song.
- Our confession starts now. - Our confession starts now.
("Me Gustas Tu" by GFriend)
(Live at KBS Hall)
("Love Whispers" by GFriend)
It was a heart-fluttering performance by GFriend.
The end of the year is a good time to express your feelings.
By the way, I saw a familiar face among the couples' pictures.
Yes, that was me.
Actually I'm good friends with GFriend's Eun Ha.
I submitted our picture secretly.
Eun Ha, I love you.
- Twice, I love you. - Goodness.
I envy your friendship.
Why don't I take this moment...
to say something to EXO?
Guys, are you watching?
I love you.
Then I'm going to say a word...
to Red Velvet.
Red Velvet members, I love you.
I will say something to BTS too.
I love BTS members so much.
Especially V, Tae Hyung, whose birthday is tomorrow,
I love you a lot.
That was sweet.
Being in a group is great.
Since you have your team members,
you don't feel lonely.
The next... I'm sorry.
Coming up next are solo singers.
Though they're solo singers, they're never lonely...
because of their fans.
They are two mentors from "The Unit" who have their...
10-year anniversary this year.
Hwang Chi Yeul who has topped the music charts,
and Hyun A, the top female performer will perform.
- Hyun A's confession is on first. - Hyun A's confession is on first.
(2017 KBS Song Festival Interview)
I can't believe that it's your 10-year anniversary.
You've been working hard. Keep working hard.
I want you to leave a strong impression.
I want your name to have power.
Like the color red,
I want you to stand out.
Try harder in order to put on the performances you like.

This year we've received...
a lot of love from all over the world.

It's a year that I saw hope for Hwang Chi Yeul as a singer.
My album was what I was into.
"I want Hwang Chi Yeul to sing this song."
I'd like to be a singer that people look forward to.
I'll try hard to become an icon of hope.

(Today's first surprise guest is Hye Bin.)
(Hye Bin doesn't know that her mom sent in her story.)
Confession Radio. Hello.
I'm Kang Daniel, the DJ of Confession Radio.
This story is sent by someone whose daughter is...
a fan of Wanna One.
Thank you so much.
Hye Bin's mother Kim Kyung Hee...
from Pohang, Gyeongbuk sent us this message.
(Taken aback)
I hope Hye Bin is listening to this.
Hye Bin, are you listening?
My daughter, Hye Bin, just had a college entrance exam.
Congratulations.
A lot of people were shocked by the earthquake,
and the exam was pushed back a week.
I'm sure not just Hye Bin but all the exam takers...
had a hard time.
It was a difficult time for the mothers too.
On the day of the earthquake, Hye Bin was in school...
for orientation.
I called her,
but I couldn't get through.
I couldn't hear her voice,
so it felt like the sky was falling.
I finally got a hold of her after quite some time.
My daughter spoke first.
"Mom, where are you? Are you okay?"
My daughter spent a week that must've felt like a year.
It was heartbreaking.
I couldn't do much for her.
So today, I want to get Daniel's help...
and send her a message.
(Today's second surprise guest is Da Won.)
Dear my lovely daughter Da Won,
you said it was okay even when you experienced a hardship.
You've done great. I'm so proud of you.
I'll try hard to be a better mom.
Thank you for being born as my daughter.
I love you, my daughter. You've done a great job.
With a lot of love, Mom.
(A heartfelt letter from Mom...)
I believe every mother feels this way.
(makes Da Won speechless.)
(They meet after the surprise message.)
My baby, you did a great job.
(They never shared their true feelings.)
(Mother and daughter share their hearts.)
- Did you hear it? - Good work.
I hope the mothers' messages are delivered well.
We'll send you a special gift.
Let's go see 2017 KBS Song Festival.
(The daughters have gone through tough times.)
(And...)
(the mothers' make confessions.)
