Samsung Electronics is set to elevate the home-viewing experience for K-Pop enthusiasts by offering exclusive access to SM Entertainment concerts. This initiative follows the success of the SMTOWN LIVE 2025 livestream in Los Angeles. Samsung TV Plus will now extend its collaboration with SM Entertainment to provide monthly concert broadcasts featuring popular SM artists. These will be available on Samsung TVs and compatible devices, all through its subscription-free service.
Exclusive SM Concert Access on SMTOWN Channel
The Monthly SM Concert series will be exclusively accessible on the SMTOWN channel, the designated Samsung TV Plus platform for SM Entertainment content. This service will be offered in Australia, New Zealand, Brazil, Mexico, and Korea, thereby catering to the expanding K-Pop fan base in these regions.
Comprehensive Monthly K-Pop Programming
The series will launch with the live broadcast of NCT WISH’s first concert tour, “‘INTO THE WISH: Our WISH’ ENCORE IN SEOUL,” on Saturday, May 30 at 7 p.m. local time. Fans can expect subsequent encore programming and monthly concert streams every Saturday at 7 p.m., establishing a consistent viewing schedule for SM performances from the comfort of home.
As the series progresses, additional SM artists and concert streams will be introduced, ensuring a steady flow of fresh content and encore performances throughout the year. This initiative provides fans with enhanced opportunities to enjoy their favorite artists on a large screen.
Enhanced Viewing Experience through SmartThings
Samsung’s SmartThings platform will allow viewers to set reminders for each concert stream, ensuring they don’t miss any performances. For those with compatible Samsung devices, SmartThings can also enhance the viewing experience by optimizing sound and lighting settings, thereby replicating a concert-like ambiance in the living room.
Expanding Global Access to Korean Entertainment
Samsung TV Plus is reinforcing its position as a leading provider of Korean entertainment globally, offering over 4,000 hours of free-to-stream content. This includes a diverse range of genres such as dramas, thrillers, and music programming.
The Monthly SM Concert series complements this extensive library, allowing fans to follow SM performances from home without any additional cost. Available in 30 countries, Samsung TV Plus offers over 4,300 channels and is compatible with Samsung TVs, Galaxy phones, XR headsets, Galaxy Tabs, and more. Notably, this service is integrated into the 2026 TV series, featuring innovations like Samsung Micro RGB TV, Neo QLED, OLED, and The Frame.
