SM Entertainment’s Co‑CEOs Reveal K-Pop Global Growth and AI Strategy
SM Entertainment is reshaping the landscape of K-Pop with its groundbreaking SM NEXT 3.0 strategy. The initiative aims to merge human creativity with advanced technology, fostering a new era in the Korean entertainment industry. Co-CEOs Jang Cheol-hyuk and Tak Young-jun lead the company’s drive to scale globally while maintaining high-quality production, leveraging cutting-edge tools like artificial intelligence and virtual idols. This strategic overhaul is SM Entertainment’s response to the increasing demand for K-Pop worldwide and the challenge of adapting to ever-changing fan expectations. SM Entertainment’s push for global recognition is built upon its transformation from a traditional K-Pop company to an agile, matrix-based system that emphasizes flexibility and localized creative control. Revolutionizing K-Pop Production with the Multi-Creative System At the heart of SM NEXT 3.0 is a radical shift in how music is produced and distributed. The traditional K-Pop model—focused on a centralized production hub—has evolved into a more decentralized approach. This change is structured around a “Multi-Creative” system, which introduces three core centers: Artist, Creative, and A&R (Artist & Repertoire). These centers are designed to work seamlessly across five distinct production units, enhancing collaboration and flexibility. By prioritizing collaboration, SM Entertainment aims to scale its creative output without compromising quality. The system is designed to match artists with optimal creators who align with their unique worldviews and narratives. This marks a significant shift away from linear processes to a more dynamic and adaptive model that can respond quickly to the global nature of the industry. The Future of A&R at SM Entertainment A cornerstone of SM Entertainment’s new strategy is the integration of artificial intelligence into the music selection and A&R process. The company is using AI to analyze decades of music data, enabling it to identify tracks that align with its artists’ vocal tones and musical styles. This
