SM Entertainment brought Bangkok to life in a sea of “Pink Blood,” marking a spectacular finale to its global 30th anniversary tour.
On February 14 local time, SM confirmed that its global concert brand SMTOWN LIVE 2025-26 successfully concluded at Rajamangala National Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand.
The concert served as the grand finale of the 30th anniversary tour launched last year and carried added significance as it coincided with the company’s founding anniversary. It also marked SMTOWN LIVE’s first return to Bangkok in approximately 13 years. The event drew fans from across the region as well as 62 major local media outlets, including Thairath TV and Daily News, underscoring SM’s enduring global influence.
Artists representing the company’s past, present, and future filled the four-hour showcase. The lineup included Girls’ Generation’s Hyoyeon, SHINee’s Minho, EXO, Red Velvet, NCT (127, DREAM, WayV, WISH), aespa, RIIZE, Hearts2Hearts, Seunghan & Soul, and SMTR25, delivering an electrifying display of performance and scale.
The show featured a parade of signature hits that sparked massive sing-alongs from the audience. Hearts2Hearts opened with “FOCUS,” followed by performances such as EXO’s “Crown,” Red Velvet’s “Red Flavor,” NCT 127’s “Fact Check,” aespa’s “Rich Man,” and RIIZE’s “Fame.” Solo stages and group showcases highlighted the musical heritage SM has built over three decades.
SMTOWN LIVE’s hallmark collaborative stages elevated the atmosphere even further. Hyoyeon, Yangyang, and Stella joined forces for “DESSERT,” while NCT’s rap unit delivered “Misfit.” A reinterpretation of f(x)’s “Chu~♡” by Irene, Seulgi, Karina, and Winter drew enthusiastic cheers, along with a cover of “Soda Pop” by Saja Boys, illustrating the generational continuity of SM’s artistic ecosystem.
The concert closed with all performers gathering on stage to sing “Hope from KWANGYA.” Artists exchanged heartfelt messages of gratitude with fans, who responded with banners and cheers, bringing the global tour to a warm and memorable conclusion.
SMTOWN LIVE, which began in Seoul and traveled through North America, Europe, and Asia before concluding in Bangkok, set new attendance and engagement records worldwide. The tour once again affirmed its status as the No.1 global concert brand.
