Despite all the fuss around SM Entertainment due to the legal action taken by three members of
Dong Bang Shin Ki, a new
SMTown album, titled
09’ Summer SMTown, will finally be released on August 17.
For those who don’t know,
SMTown is a reunion of SM Entertainment’s artists and they have been releasing a special album every summer and winter since 1999, but they haven’t released anything since winter 2007.
Surprisingly, the 4-track album only features boybands
Dong Bang Shin Ki, Super Junior and
SHINee. The first song,
Seaside Hyukeso (Boom Boom), is sung by the three groups.
Nevertheless, it's worth the check and you can pre-order the album at
YesAsia.
Meanwhile,
SMTOWN LIVE’09, that was supposed to happen today, August 16th, was postponed and SM Entertainment said they will refund the tickets that had already been purchased.
