    This years 'Global Festival' stands out as a pivotal moment in KBS's history, distinguishing itself from the network's traditional 'KBS Song Festival' that has been a cornerstone of past years. The 'Music Bank Global Festival' introduces a fresh approach, showcasing KBS's dedication to innovating and bringing new changes.

    Adhering to the overarching theme of a global music festival, the 'Music Bank Global Festival' showcased performances from groups with widespread international acclaim. Notably, NewJeans really stood out with an impressive performance of five songs: "OMG," "Ditto," "New Jeans," "Super Shy," and "ETA." Fans were thrilled, with many saying it's one of their favorite performances so far.


    However, Korean netizens wonder whether NewJeans were given too much special treatment from KBS as the girls got to perform five tracks compared to other groups performing two or fewer tracks.


    Korean netizens gathered in an online community to discuss whether NewJeans were given special treatment. They commented,

    "How many songs are they performing? Isn't this special treatment?"

    "In the position of the broadcast company, it's beneficial to show a lot of performances of the hit songs,"

    "They're NewJeans, they won Daesang,"

    "To be honest, NewJeans are unbeatable, and the five songs were all hit tracks,"

    "It's understandable they're the main event," "

    I think it's too many songs,"

    "Whoever it is, five songs is too excessive,"

    "I think they should've performed more to be honest lol,"

    "They were really trendy this year though,"

    "I think it's okay because all their songs are so short."


    K-netizens debate fairness after NewJeans performed 5 songs while other groups performed only 2 songs at KBS's 'Music Bank Global Festival 2023'
    The '2023 Music Bank Global Festival' finally aired on December 15, showcasing performances of the popular K-pop artists of this generation.This ye…

  • They should have just broadcast it over 2 nights. Korea should have been in a massive park. The studio-recorded Korean part 1 was meh compared to the japan part 2.


    NJ should have been the finale since they got more time.

  • Perfect time to say that i miss the time when songs were 4 minutes long ;(


    Or how about 6.5 minutes like this criminally unknown epic 80s power ballad :mads:

  • Even if NJ got time, and like others have said, they got about the same time as other acts, who cares?


    There the most popular active GG rn and deserve more time. They have earned it.

  • Kbs should just go bankrupt 🤡 I don't understand this company this is a public broadcasting network why the fuck is something you filmed put exclusively on a private companies streaming service 🤡🤡🤡. That's like the channel 12 news being broadcast exclusively on Netflix, see how that makes no fuckin sense

  • The controversy isn't the biggest group of 2023 getting comparable time to at least 3 other groups.


    It's the fact people had to actually pay money if they wanted to watch something on public broadcast.


    I was lucky to see all the performances I wanted to before the stream got taken down.
