SM Station Season 3


  • I. Introduction

    SM Station 3 is the third season of SM Station singles featuring artists from SM Entertainment. The season ran from November 29, 2018 to July 18, 2019 and included 16 singles. It was followed a month later by Season X 0.


    II. Background & Release

    SM Station is a digital music project under SM Entertainment that involves solos or duets from members in existing SM groups, as well as opportunities for singers to experiment in other genres or collaborate with artists inside and outside of SM Entertainment. The project releases a number of singles digitally each year on digital platforms, including streaming audio like Spotify.


    Season 3 started with the release of "Coffee Break" on November 29, 2018 then spanned releases twice a month until July 18, 2019. 17 singles were released over the season, including a promotional tie-in with the Trolls animated movie, featuring teenage SM artists, as well as the final release of the original 7 members of NCT Dream due to Mark's promotion because of his age. (He would return to the group in 2021 after the system changed.) Among the artists featured over the course of the season are members of NCT, Super Junior, SHINee, EXO and Red Velvet, as well as soloists and DJs.
