According to News1 on the 10th, a representative from Lee Soo-man's side noted, "Lee Soo-man decided not to participate in SMTOWN LIVE 2025," and "Mr. Lee learned through reports that he was invited to this concert and confirmed that an invitation was received via registered mail."
Earlier, SM Entertainment announced in December last year that "along with former general producer Lee Soo-man, we have invited the currently reachable existing SM artists to the 30th anniversary concert."
SM will hold the 'SMTOWN LIVE 2025' Seoul concert at Gocheok Sky Dome in Guro-gu, Seoul, over two days from the 11th to the 12th. This performance marks the 30th anniversary of SM, bringing together artists from SM and its affiliated labels, as well as those who have made history alongside SM and K-pop, including Tony Ahn, Bada, and Hwanhee.
Starting with the January concert in Seoul, there are plans to perform in a total of five locations: Mexico City and Los Angeles in May, London in June, and Tokyo in August.
