On November 8, SM Entertainment released their plans for the first quarter of 2024.
Here Are SM Entertainment’s Artist Plans For The First Quarter Of 2024
The label released a lineup of planned concerts as well as music releases. SM Entertainment revealed they intended to release new projects for EXO‘s Suho, Red Velvet‘s Wendy, and RIIZE, among others. Most notably, the label revealed plans for an aespa English full-length album.
It didn’t take long for Korean fans to criticize the plan. The criticism mainly stems from the fact that the popular idol group, which debuted in 2020, has yet to release a Korean full-length album.
Many fans took to Twitter to voice their displeasure with the label’s plans and called out SM Entertainment for not releasing a full-length Korean album.

It’s dumbfounding to hear the words English Full-Length Album… They’ve only released mini-albums in Korea and have never had a Korean full-length album.
