SM Entertainment and Capitol Records have taken an aggressive step in the continued globalization of K-pop as they announced on August 7 the formation of Super M (not to be confused with Super Junior M), a supergroup consisting of a various member from some of SM’s biggest boy groups. Per Forbes, the group was unveiled with a visual presentation during the 2019 Capitol Congress, where new music from Katy Perry and Niall Horan was also showcased. Dubbed the “Avengers of K-pop,” Super M will feature Taemin of SHINee, Taeyong and Mark of NCT, Lucas and Ten of NCT/Chinese pop band WayV, and Baekhyun and Kai of EXO. The group will officially launch in America sometime in October.
