This album includes remade versions of SM’s representative hit songs that have been reinterpreted by senior and junior artists to match the colors of each team. This is a noteworthy work that allows you to meet SM’s diverse music in a new style, which has shared all the moments of joy and sadness, memories and dreams with many people.
