The 2022 MBC Gayo Daejejeon recently announced its full lineup of artists confirmed to perform at the year-end music festival.
Unlike other events that have happened or are scheduled to happen, Gayo Daejejeon has simply been an annual grand music show with performances, ever since it stopped giving out awards in 2005.
A range of artists will be performing at the 2022 Gayo Daejejeon. K-pop fans were slightly disappointed to see major award show lineups being filled with fourth-generation groups, but the upcoming MBC event has multiple third-generation K-pop artists set to grace the stage too.

The theme of the 2022 MBC Gayo Daejejeon is “With Love.” It will be hosted by TV personality Jang Sung-kyun, Girls’ Generation’s YoonA, and 2PM’s Junho.
YoonA and Junho’s hosting is one of the most anticipated things about the festival. Last year at the Gayo Daejejeon, the duo performed a sensuous dance cover on Shawn Mendes and Camila Cabello’s Señorita.
Moreover, YoonA has been hosting Gayo Daejejeon since 2016, while Jang Sung-kyu has been an emcee since 2019. 2022 will mark the second turn for all three, YoonA, Jang Sung-kyu and Junho, to host the festival together.
The 2022 Gayo Daejejeon will be held on December 31.
What to expect in the upcoming 2022 MBC Gayo Daejejeon?
The best part about year-end music festivals is that they treat fans to multiple artist collaborations, which are hard to come by throughout the year.
Last year's festival saw two Music Core special MC stages.
Male hosts throughout the years, NCT’s Jungwoo and Mark, Stray Kids’ Lee Know and Hyunjin, and SF9’s Chani performed Snow Prince by SS501, while female hosts (G)I-DLE’s Miyeon, IVE’s Yujin and Wonyoung, Kim Minju and ITZY’s Yeji performed Rum Pum Pum Pum by f(x).
With new girl groups such as NMIXX making their mark on the industry and the established groups such as Stray Kids growing multifold, fans can expect the lineup to include certain collaborations.
Tune in to the 2022 MBC Gayo Daejejeon via MBC’s channels on December 31 at 8:40 PM KST.
