The KBS Song Festival is right around the corner, but some of your favorite groups will be absent. 2NE1, KARA, Big Bang, and JYJ are four of them.

According to an official for the event, YG Entertainment and C-JeS Entertainments‘ groups will not be in attendance. That means we will not see 2NE1 and KARA who will be going to a Japanese award ceremony ‘TBS’s Record Awards’, and Big Bang, FT Island and JYJ will not be in attendance.

So far, SNSD, Super Junior, f(x), miss A, 2PM, Wonder Girls, T-ara, Davichi, SISTAR, CNBLUE, and Secret have been confirmed to be attending the festival, but TVXQ is currently trying to determine if they will be able to. Additionally, immediately after the event, SNSD will beheading to Japan to meet up with KARA for NHK’s Kohaku Uta Gassen.

Lots of great groups will be in attendance, but its sad that some other amazing groups won’t be attending this year. Oh well…looking forward to seeing clips from the event.
