The online concert will be taking place on January 1, 2021 at 1:00 p.m. KST through the Naver Beyond Live platform and the agency revealed its lineup of acts through a video teaser. Many of the company’s artists will be performing at the online event: DJs Raiden, GINJO, and IMLAY, H.O.T.’s Kangta, TVXQ, Super Junior, Girls’ Generation’s Taeyeon, SHINee’s Taemin, EXO’s Baekhyun and Kai, Red Velvet, NCT U, NCT 127, NCT Dream, WayV, aespa, and SuperM.

Previously, the agency released a statement addressing the controversy surrounding the music video for aespa’s debut song, “Black Mamba.” This was after many noticed that there were some scenes in the music video that was similar to the works of German visual artist Timo Helgert and the virtual girl group K/DA. SM Entertainment announced that they had spoken to the artists involved and explained their vision for their girl group. The agency also confirmed that the artists involved did not object to the similar scenes that were shown in the music video.
Aespa is the newest group of SM Entertainment, having made their debut back in November.
