It was announced last May 26, that the Red Velvet members' Irene and Seulgi will debut as a duo with their first mini-album, "MONSTER" on the 15th of June. While fans are expecting to witness the first sub-unit of the girl group, they need to calm down for a bit as the agency revealed that there are reasons for the movement of the set date. Here is the official statement of SM Entertainment.
Just like the K-pop groups BTS, EXO, TWICE, BLACKPINK, SEVENTEEN, etc., who are currently among the most prominent groups in the K-pop industry, there is also an "Ace" list for agencies that are hailed as the "BIG 3."
The "Big 5" Entertainment Agencies are set to dominate the industry with a new generation of K-pop idols again! A chart has been revealed, summarizing the K-pop groups under SM, YG, JYP, Big Hit, and CJ ENM that are set to debut this 2020 to 2021, and making K-pop fans and netizens anticipate the groups that will build and mold the new batch of Hallyu stars in this modern K-pop era.
On May 13, K-pop fans and K-netizens' interest was captured by a post in an online Korean community site, wherein a rumored SM Entertainment trainee was introduced in the sharing platform. In the post, photos of the young child model and alleged SM trainee was attached, featuring his good looks, which is no doubt as he is an SM kids model after all.
Heads up, aspiring K-pop idols! SM Entertainment is now open for the submission of online applications of those who dream of becoming the next K-pop icons!
It's not the first time that SM talents got involved in a controversy, of which they were harassed and slandered.
NCT Dream surpassed 500,000 pre-orders with their new EP "Reload," prior to their highly-anticipated comeback!
Aside from albums, fans are also fanatic of their favorite K-pop idol's official merchandise, whether it's a notebook, pencil case, bag, or even candles! However, what are you going to do when you realized something's wrong with your purchased merch that you saved up for?
SuperM kicked off opening performances for SM Entertainment x Naver's "Beyond LIVE," through their concert "SuperM - Beyond The Future." The concert was streamed on V Live on Sunday, April 26.
On April 22, fans and netizens can't help but agree on the claims that SM Entertainment has strict and proper training for its artists, from skills to physical appearance, after netizens noticed that artists who trained under the agency have uniform stances.
Being an idol under the "Big 3" agencies is a big deal, that's why several trainees are thriving and striving to enter at least one of the three agency giants. Among thousands of individuals from all over the world who aspire to be a "Big 3" idol, being cast by a staff coming directly from these companies is a huge advantage, given that not everyone is given such an opportunity.
K-pop boy bands from SM Entertainment will be having their appearance on "Beyond Live," a live concert service in collaboration with Naver, which will be presented through V Live and Beyond Live.
Agency giant SM Entertainment joined forces with Naver, Korea's most-used search site, for a new venture.
