(Everyone has become obsessed with their song, "Bboom Bboom".)

("Bboom Bboom" and "Baam" by MOMOLAND)

Let's go girls!

("Latata" by (G)I-DLE)

K-pop has received love from all over the world.

This year, it has received even more love than before.

The girl groups have once again...

fired up the stage as always.

- Yoon A, what genre of music... - Yes?

do you usually listen to?

These days, I'm obsessed with Ben...

and her voice that's full of emotions.

- She's great. - She's amazing.

And you?

These days, I enjoy listening to BOL4.

Their songs make me smile.

- That's great. - I see.

There are so many great songs out there.

This upcoming stage will consist the songs...

that you all have once saved in your playlist.

These songs have topped the charts.

There's no doubt about these tracks. The keyword this time is...

"Kings of Music".

When you think about the greatest vocalists,

they will probably pop into your mind.

- Can you guess? - I think I know who they are.

I think I'm feeling lonely

Did I mimic them perfectly? Was I that great?

- Of course. - Sure.

- You sounded the same. - That was "Fall in Fall".

I think I'm feeling lonely

It's Vibe, a group known for their singing ability.

They collaborated with Ben to show us an emotional harmony.

Before that, it's a performance by a heartwarming and lovely duo.

BOL4 went to Hongdae, a place known for its youthfulness,

and harmonized with the people there.

Let us watch their performance first.

Let's go!

- It is. - There are many more to come.

In order to help him calm down,

- we'll do some interviews here. - Sounds good.

MINO of Winner is having a blast at this music festival.

Among all the MBC variety shows,

which one did you enjoy the most?

For me, it has to be "I Live Alone".

- That's a good one. - I enjoyed that show.

Watching how my fellow celebrities live their lives...

made me want to appear on that show as well.

That thought came across my mind.

- Thank you for your input. - Will you be appearing on it?

Currently, I'm living with my fellow members.

- Once I start living alone... - When you do,

- you'd like to be on it? - Yes, I would.

Now, let's interview Jungkook.

For me, it was the show that introduced the true kings.

"The King of Mask Singer".

- "The King of Mask Singer". - Yes.

"The King of Mask Singer".

Which episode did you enjoy the most?

I was on it once.

I was, but I got eliminated in the first round.

If I'm given another chance, I'll practice even more...

and compete once again.

Many variety shows are being mentioned.

Therefore, we have prepared a special performance.

That is correct. This is an exclusive performance...

that can only be seen on our MBC Music Festival.

This stage has been prepared by entertainers who have shined...

in MBC's variety shows.

It's Hwasa, who created a sold-out phenomenon and was known...

as the queen of eating.

There is also NORAZO, who is known for their striking transformations.

Furthermore, their choice of song is also quite amazing.

I think this movie was one of the most popular ones this year.

It is the movie, "Bohemian Rhapsody".

They will perform a reinterpretation of Queen's songs.

Just hearing about it is making my heart flutter.

Jungkook mentioned "The King of Mask Singer".

These two were chosen as the kings...

and made many viewers cry.

It's Sunwoo Jung A and Hwanhee.

These outstanding vocalists...

prepared a special collaboration. It will now begin.
