SM Entertainment (SM) celebrated its 30th anniversary by releasing the commemorative album ‘2025 SMTown: The Culture, The Future’ on the 14th, the anniversary of its founding. It has been 2 years and 2 months since SM released a group album, the SM Town winter album ‘2022 Winter SMTown: SMCU Palace’ in December 2022. The album contains 17 tracks, including the title track ‘Thank You’, SM‘s new group song, and SM’s legendary hit songs that left their mark on K-pop history, remade by senior and junior artists to suit each group‘s individuality and musical style. Some of the tracks were previously revealed for the first time on stage through the ‘SM Town Live 2025’ Seoul concert held on the 11th and 12th.
