Will SMTOWN be heading to South America this summer? It has been revealed that a South American tour with SM Entertainment artists including BoA, TVXQ, Super Junior, SNSD, SHINee, and f(x) is currently in the works. According to several music industry representatives, SM Entertainment will be continuing their 'SM Town Live World Tour' by heading to South America in July, making stops in Brazil, Chile, among other countries. The reason for this South American tour is that the popularity of SM Entertainment artists in these countries has been steeply rising. In February, a Brazilian TV network held a survey regarding which Korean artist they would like to have visit their country. The top four spots were claimed by Super Junior, BoA, SNSD, and SHINee, respectively. Also, last November the Korean Cultural Industry Foundation held a survey amongst Brazilian fans regarding popular Korean singers. The results revealed that Super Junior, SHINee, BoA, and SNSD came in at 1st, joint 2nd, and 3rd place respectively. Last month, SM Entertainment announced that they would be heading to France for their 'SM Town Live in Paris' concert on June 10th. As this concert sold out almost immediately after tickets were released, the possibility of adding another day is currently being reviewed. The 'SM Town Live World Tour' has already made stops in Los Angeles, Tokyo and Shanghai. By visiting both Europe and South America, this tour will become a legitimate world tour.
