Attending the event were SM's chief producers and many of the artists like EXO, f(x)'s Sulli and Luna, Girls' Generation, and even INFINITE.  First, Lee Soo Man stepped up onto the stage to welcome everybody in attendance.  

He said, "I wondered how it would be to create an amusement park in the city.  That's why the name is 'Theme Park in the City.'  I think it might be something we need as a city in the future.  This is SM's city theme park of which I had dreamt for a long time," and spoke of the goal to share a lot of the cultural contents.  

In addition, there were performances, such as Taeyeon's "If," Yuri's "Gee" dance, animation character Larva and EXO Sehun's performance, as well as a digest video of 'School Oz' shown via hologram.
