II. Background and Release
On August 7, 2019, Capitol Music Group chairman Steve Barnett and SM Entertainment announced the formation of a K-Pop Super Boy Group to be called SuperM at Capitol Congress 2019. Described as "the Avengers of K-Pop", the group is focused on performance-based music with each of the members excelling at performance, vocal, and rap abilities.
SuperM combines members from four popular SM Entertainment groups: Taemin from Shinee, Baekhyun and Kai from EXO, Taeyong and Mark from NCT and Lucas and Ten from WayV, an NCT sub-unit.
The EP features 7 songs in English and Korean and was released in 8 different versions: one for each member and a group version. It features 7 songs in English and Korean, including the primarily English lead single "Jopping."
To support the release, SuperM embarked on extensive American promotions, holding their debut concert at the Capitol Records Building in Los Angeles on October 5 and made their television debut on The Ellen DeGeneres Show on October 9. The group also embarked on their first tour, We Are the Future Live, in North America in late 2019-early 2020.
