SM Entertainment recently unveiled its music line-up for the second and third quarter of 2024, listing upcoming album releases and world tours.

After having an increase in sales in the first quarter, SM Entertainment is now ready for the projected lineup for the second and third quarters of 2024. According to Korean media reports, the company witnessed a 7.9 per cent hike in sales compared to last year, owing to the expansion of performance and merchandise sales. Along with that, the sales of albums released in the first quarter also exceeded last year’s numbers. For instance, while NCT DREAM became a double-million-seller, NCT WISH made their official debut, followed by large-scale concerts by NCT 127, SHINee, and more, which led to a 12 per cent increase in sales.

With such profits, the company now looks forward to expanding its global fandom through a lot of overseas activities in the third quarter.
