MBC prepares an SM Town “Come to Play” special

Last week, MBC revealed that they would be broadcasting a “SM Town Live in Paris” special program. It looks like MBC has another treat for SM Town fans in the form of a ‘Hallyu special’ on “Come To Play“.

On June 16th, MBC’s “Come to Play” producers revealed, “On June 22nd, SM Entertainment artists will be joining us for the MBC’s “Yoo Jae Suk and Kim Won Hee’s Come to Play” Hallyu Special, which will take place at the MBC Dream Center in Ilsan.”

According to the producers, a total of 12 SM Town artists (TVXQ, four Super Junior members, four SNSD members, and two f(x) members) will be present for this special. It took much effort from the production crew to cast these artists who are popular not only at home, but all over the world.

MBC will be broadcasting a special program titled, “Hallyu, Crossing Over Asia, Into The World“, which will cover “SM Town Live in Paris” and the hot response to Korean singers internationally. The “Come to Play – SM Hallyu Special” is scheduled to be released around that date as well.
