- Samsung TV Plus will premiere Aespa's "Synk: Complexity In Seoul" concert for free on Saturday, September 26, in Singapore, South Korea, India, the Philippines, Thailand, Australia, and New Zealand.
- The concert will air at 6pm Singapore time every Saturday through October 24 on the SMTown channel, featuring sets including "Lemonada," "Whiplash," and "Supernova."
- Samsung will deploy upscaling and 3D audio technology to "elevate the at-home concert experience" for the Aespa premiere on compatible Samsung TVs.
- The broadcast is the latest installment of Monthly SM Concert, a recurring partnership between Samsung TV Plus and SM Entertainment that streams a new SM artiste concert each month.
- Gwiho Lee, executive VP of Samsung Electronics' visual display business, said Samsung is combining premium entertainment with its TV technologies to give fans a more immersive at-home experience.
- Aespa's Synk: Complexity tour kicked off August 7 at Seoul's Gocheok Sky Dome and is scheduled to conclude February 2, 2027 in Paris — with Singapore not included as a tour stop.
Why it matters: Singapore-based Aespa fans gain free access to a concert that won't tour their city, while Samsung uses the K-pop group's seven-market Asia-Pacific reach to drive Samsung TV Plus adoption. The Monthly SM Concert series locks Samsung TVs into a recurring content pipeline with SM Entertainment, one of K-pop's biggest agencies, turning compatible sets into a destination for exclusive premieres.
