Tasty to Join SMTOWN Beijing Concert Lineup, Infinite Can’t Attend Due to World Tour

 

On August 19, a certain news agency reported that Infinite would be joining the line-up for an SM concert. However, SM C&C sources commented, “Infinite won’t be able to join the SM concert due to their world tour.”

The source continued, “Tasty will be attending the SMTOWN Beijing concert in October,” marking the first Woollim appearance in an SM event after the merge. However, Nell and Infinite will not be performing at the concert.

Previously, the public was put through a shock to hear the news of Woollim Entertainment merging with SM’s SM C&C to form Woollim Label on August 9. After many voiced their concerns over the Woollim artists’ futures, the agency assured that the artists’ music won’t change.

Infinite’s schedule after they return from their world tour is not yet decided and the public is yet to see Woollim’s top group perform on one stage with DBSK, Super Junior and other SM artists.

INFINITE, Tasty, and Other Woollim Artists to Join SMTOWN Concerts

Now that Woollim Entertainment and SM C&C have merged to form Woollim Label, we may just yet be seeing INFINITE perform at SMTOWN concerts along with Girls' Generation, Super Junior, TVXQ, f(x), SHINee, and EXO!

Tasty has currently been confirmed to perform at the October SMTOWN in Beijing concert. Because of INFINITE's previous schedule for their global tour, it'l be difficult for them to participate in the SMTOWN concerts yet - however, there are rumors and media reports that claim INFINITE will also be joining the SMTOWN concerts as well.

The band Nell will not be joining SMTOWN concerts as of yet. How do you think SMTOWN would look when INFINITE has joined the rest of the SM Entertainment artists on stage?

[NEWS] SM Entertainment's SM C&C merges with Woollim Entertainment to form 'Woollim Label'

SM Entertainment is setting their sights on the big picture as they embark on the road to become a major music company such as Universal Music Group, Warner Music Group, and Sony Music Entertainment.

Just as the three mentioned labels are major global music companies that manage various sub labels, SM will also set out to become a representative music group in Asia.

They've already kicked off the process as SM C&C has announced a merger with Woollim Entertainment to create an independent 'Woollim Label', whose music will differ from SM Entertainment's sounds with their own color of music and an eclectic lineup of artists. With its connection to SM Entertainment, SM C&C, and other global subsidiaries, a synergy effect is expected. 

In addition, with SM Entertainment's global influence and network, artists now under Woollim Label like INFINITE, NELL, and TASTY will benefit, and their increased global recognition will also raise SM group's total sales and profits.

Regarding 'Woollim Label', SM Entertainment stated, "SM Entertainment will run its global music distribution and additional businesses while SM C&C will take charge of the label's functions. In terms of business structure and scale, we will acquire international competitiveness and will stand as Asia's premier music group which can compete with global major music groups. We will take our place as the first global major music group in Korea."
