History

On April 5, 2021, SM Entertainment revealed through a public announcement that the company had established a new subsidiary, SM Studios, with SM acquiring 195,648 shares for 244,561.93 million won.[3] SM stated that it planned to focus on the music business, the company's original entertainment business, through restructuring.[4] The wholly-owned subsidiary was established to promote the restructuring of group affiliates to facilitate the business structure.[5] Additionally, the company was set to promote the efficiency of group management through a "reliable" management system.[6] It was also expected to secure market competitiveness as affiliates related to media studios have coordinated agreements through integrated management of drama, entertainment, and new media fields.[7]

SM invested all of its shares in SM Culture & Contents (SM C&C), KeyEast, SM Life Design Group, Dear U, and Mystic Story to SM Studios.[8] During SM Congress 2021, Kim Young-min, chief executive officer (CEO) of SM Studios,[9] stated that the broadcasting system was SM's "big dream" since the establishment of SM Planning in 1989.[10] In May, SM recruited producers and content experts from SM C&C, KeyEast, and Mystic Story to establish SM Studios and produce "SM Original" content.[11] On November 16, 2022, SM Studios premiered its first "global" content, Welcome to NCT Universe.[12]
