[SpoTV News = Reporter Kang Hyo-jin] The Halloween party hosted by SM Entertainment is returning as an in-person event for the first time in four years.

On the 13th, according to SpoTV News coverage, the private Halloween party hosted by SM Entertainment, "SM Town Wonderland," is scheduled to be held at the end of this month for 2022. This is the first in-person event in four years since 2018.

The SM Halloween party is a private event held every year around Halloween at the end of October, which began around 2012 when the agency's artists gathered for a casual party. As it is an occasion where one can see the unique charms of SM artists in Halloween costumes through photos and videos released after the party, it draws intense interest from fans both domestically and abroad.

In particular, as the years have passed, the artists have put on increasingly bold costume shows, and the spectacular visuals of stars aiming for the win each year have garnered global attention, giving the event more influence than just an internal company party.

SM Entertainment, which held in-person events until 2018, did not hold Halloween events in 2019 and 2020 due to various circumstances, including COVID-19. Last year's party, held for the first time in three years, was conducted non-face-to-face, and they practiced good influence by donating the prize money to the Beautiful Foundation in the name of the artist who won Best Dresser.

As this year's Halloween event will be held in-person for the first time in four years, there is anticipation regarding what kind of radical transformations the SM artists, who have been waiting for the Halloween event, will show.
