On Tuesday, SM held ŌĆ£SM CONGRESS 2021ŌĆØ online and announced its visions and strategies. In particular, the ŌĆ£Lee Soo Man ShowŌĆØ showed Lee Soo Man coming up with future plans with his artists. The first guest was aespa, whom Lee proudly introduced as ŌĆ£the team that achieved 100 million in the shortest period.ŌĆØ Then, mentioning the groupŌĆÖs unique worldview that involves avatars, Lee jokingly added, ŌĆ£I should also make ae-Soo Man.ŌĆØ SMCU (SM Culture Universe), which started in earnest with aespa, was also mentioned. Lee explained, ŌĆ£When it comes to how to show SMCU, CAWMAN will be a genre that shows this in a new format.ŌĆØ Each letter of CAWMAN, a new genre created by SM, has its meaning: Cartoon, Animation, Webtoon, Motion graphic, Avatar, and Novel. ItŌĆÖs a new mixed video genre thatŌĆÖll specifically express SMCU. Lee added, ŌĆ£If you look at aespaŌĆÖs storytelling clips, you can see animations and motion graphics. What aespa is doing is starting a new culture. WeŌĆÖre making episodes using CAWMAN as a genre, and weŌĆÖre even discussing making a movie in Hollywood about it.ŌĆØ Hearing this, Kirana shared, ŌĆ£Only one episode has been released yet. Many people will wonder if aespa and ae-aespa will go on an adventure together in the wilderness and face Black Mamba in the future. We are preparing various contents to show the rest of this yearŌĆÖs season 1 story, so please look forward to it.ŌĆØ
