SM Entertainment will be holding its first offline agency-wide concert in three years this summer!

In the years since, the company has streamed a free SMTOWN LIVE concert online on each New Year’s Day, with this year’s “SMTOWN 2022 : SMCU EXPRESS @KWANGYA” setting a new record for the highest number of streams ever achieved by a Korean online concert.

“SMTOWN LIVE 2022 : SMCU EXPRESS @TOKYO” will take place on August 27 and 28, and it will feature a star-studded lineup of SM artists including H.O.T.’s Kangta; BoA; TVXQ; Super Junior; Girls’ Generation’s Taeyeon and Hyoyeon; SHINee’s Onew, Key, and Minho, EXO’s Suho, Chen, and Kai; Red Velvet; NCT; aespa; and DJs Raiden and GINJO.

In addition to performances by each of the artists, the upcoming concert will also include special collaboration stages by members of different groups.
