SM Town Concert, now available on Weverse

Weverse, a global fandom life platform, will conduct online streaming of the 'SMTOWN' concert as its first official event following the opening of the official community of SM artists.

Weverse will broadcast live 'SMTOWN LIVE 2023 SMCU PALACE @JAKARTA with KB Bank', which will be held in Jakarta, Indonesia on September 23rd.

SM Entertainment's 'SMTOWN LIVE' has been successfully held in major cities around the world, including Seoul, New York, LA, Paris, Dubai, Chile, Tokyo, Beijing, Shanghai, Bangkok, and Singapore, since 2008. Global performances garnering attention such as ‘the first performance by a single Korean brand in Paris, France’, ‘the first Asian singer to perform at New York’s Madison Square Garden’, ‘the first foreign singer to perform at the Beijing Olympic Stadium in China’, and ‘the first large-scale K-pop performance in Dubai’. As a brand, it is loved by music fans around the world.

SMTOWN LIVE 2023, held in Jakarta, will feature a rich lineup of artists, from TVXQ to Super Junior, Red Velvet, NCT 127, NCT DREAM, WayV, Aespa, and RIZE, as well as various collaboration performances, as well as their own representative and hit songs. We plan to set up a spectacular stage.

Weverse will stream the concert held on the 23rd at 6:30 pm local time in Jakarta, Indonesia, so that fans from all over the world can watch it in real time. Based on Weverse's stable transmission technology that broadcasts large-scale performances such as the global music festival 'Lollapalooza' and the world tour of Hive Labels artists such as BTS in real time, Weverse will deliver the vividness of the scene to fans in high definition and sound quality. Is expected.

In this live streaming, Weverse provides real-time subtitle services in a total of 11 languages, including English, Japanese, and Chinese, for the convenience of global fans.

Weverse also offers 'delayed streaming', which allows viewers who have purchased an online streaming ticket to watch the performance one more time. Streaming ticket purchasers can feel the emotion of the performance by watching the same performance one more time on October 28th at 6pm Korean time (2am PDT, 5am EDT).

Online streaming tickets for 'SMTOWN LIVE 2023 SMCU PALACE @JAKARTA with KB Bank' can be purchased at the official commerce platform Weverse Shop from 3 p.m. on September 13. You can watch the concert on the Weverse mobile app and PC web.
