SBS Gayo Daejeon (Korean: SBS 가요대전, broadly SBSBattle of the Bands) is an annual televised music festival that is broadcast by the Seoul Broadcasting System at the end of each year.[1] The program first aired in 1997,[2] and awards were given to musical artists from 1997 to 2006.[3] The awards ceremony portion of the festival was revived in 2014 and discontinued the following year.[4][5]

SMTown presented a special stage with TVXQ and Kai, Luhan, Tao, and Chen of the agency's new boy group Exo, who would eventually debut in April of the following year.[40]
Under the theme "The Color of K-Pop", some of the biggest groups created four super idol groups, recorded a new single, and performed it together on stage. There were four teams consisting of members from different idols groups labeled under the names of Mystic White, Dramatic Blue, Dynamic Black, and Dazzling Red, who sang songs created by the hottest producers of 2012.[41]
PD Kim Yong Kwon stated, "Since the top singers are gathering together for the year-end ceremony, we wanted to do something meaningful. The singers will sing one song together and create a music video. All proceeds from the music and music videos will be donated through SBS's charity channel."
