SM Entertainment is expected to do phenomenally well this coming quarter and the rest of the year, all thanks to EXO and NCT.
EBEST Investment & Securities recently published their predictions for SM Entertainment’s upcoming financial quarter as well as the rest of the year. According to the investment company, things will be looking up for the company.
The expected growth this year is down to the increased promotion of NCT and EXO! The investment company revealed that NCT would be having their own global tour, would be having additional unit activities, and WayV would be releasing an official album all starting in the second quarter.
Plans for additional unit activities, NCT’s first global tour, and WayV’s official album release in China and Korea will be focused on starting from the second quarter. The expected number of activities will be much greater than what we saw earlier this year.
