After Yibada confirmed that “Descendants of the Sun” actress Song Hye Kyo would attend the 2016 KBS Drama Award based on her Instagram post, 15 other Korean celebrities have so far indicated they would be at the event of Dec. 31.
Fans of “Descendants of the Sun” would be doubly happy to watch the event – likely to be live streamed by Korean Broadcasting System – because Song Joong-ki has also confirmed he would attend the event.
