music<\/a> and exciting performances. TVXQ, Super Junior, SHINee\u2019s Key and Minho, EXO\u2019s Suho, Chanyeol and Kai, Red Velvet, NCT 127, NCT Dream, WayV, aespa, Riize, Hearts2Hearts and SMTR25 all performed; NCT Wish was slated to perform but was unable to attend due to visa issues. <\/p>\n\n\tGirl group aespa seemingly teased their future plans at SMTown Live. \u201cWe\u2019re about to release music very, very soon, so please stay tuned for that,\u201d Winter told The Hollywood Reporter<\/em>. The group described their performance of the night in one word: fire. The crowd went wild for the four-piece group, performing hits such as \u201cWhiplash\u201d and \u201cNext Level.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\t\u201cIt\u2019s our first time in L.A. for SMTown, and it\u2019s not every year that we can come here as a whole SMTown family,\u201d Riize\u2019s Anton said before the concert. The group recently released their first album, Odyssey<\/em>, which they previewed for fans during the L.A. show. \u201cIt\u2019s a really special opportunity,\u201d Anton continued. <\/p>\n\n\tTVXQ, the eldest of the crop of performers, told THR<\/em> that fans could expect to hear the duo\u2019s older songs, a promise they delivered on when they sang their 2008 K-Pop classic \u201cMirotic.\u201d The undeniably catchy track had the entire stadium singing along. \u201cWe just want this performance to be a place where we can show a lot of synergy between the senior and the junior groups,\u201d member Changmin told THR<\/em>. <\/p>\n\n\tOther groups like girl group Red Velvet decided to play older fan favorites. The three members who performed during the show surprised the audience with their 2018 song \u201cBad Boy.\u201d The group told THR<\/em> they included it as a special treat. It was Red Velvet\u2019s first performance in L.A. in years, so they said they knew fans were \u201cgoing to love it.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\tOn the other end of the spectrum was SM\u2019s latest endeavor, girl group Hearts2Hearts, who were fresh off a Saturday performance at Wango Tango. The eight-member outfit expressed how excited they were to be in L.A. for the first time. Stella, a vocalist, said the group was particularly looking forward to the show\u2019s final song, \u201cHope from Kwangya,\u201d where all of the night\u2019s performers come together to sing farewell. \u00a0<\/p>\n
\n\tTo perform that final song, all artists flocked to the stage and later waved goodbye to fans all together. SM Entertainment\u2019s next SMTown Live is set for June 28 in London. Another in Japan is scheduled for August. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n
