Hyoyeon from Girls' Generation speculated on the reasons why it is difficult for SM Entertainment artists to gather in one place. On the recent SBS Power FM show '2 o'clock Escape CulTwo Show,' hosted by Coyote's Pekka, Fly To The Sky's Brian and Hyoyeon appeared as guests. On that day, a listener expressed a wish for NCT members, who are currently serving in the military, to dance 'Baggy Jeans' at the 'SMTOWN' concert. Hyoyeon gently declined, saying, 'When I did the 'Baggy Jeans' challenge video, fans seemed happy and talked about it, but that’s about enough.' Regarding the preparations for the 'SMTOWN' concert scheduled for next year, she replied, 'I think they are starting to prepare slowly from now. Probably in 1-2 months.' She also stated that she would participate, saying, 'I think everyone from SM Entertainment will be there. This time it is meaningful as it is the 30th anniversary concert.' Brian, who is also from SM Entertainment, expressed interest, saying, 'I have to be there too.' He then mentioned that when he was at SM Entertainment, there were no SMTOWN concerts, only gatherings. Hearing this, Hyoyeon said, 'We (Girls' Generation) have always been here, but what we wanted to do the most during our trainee days was SMTOWN. We used to shoot music videos and release Christmas songs, but we stopped doing that after we joined. It seemed so much fun, and I heard they even went to ski resorts.' Brian reminisced about gathering for SMTOWN and going swimming in the summer. Hyoyeon speculated on why it has become difficult to gather for SMTOWN now, saying, 'It seems to have disappeared because there are too many people. There are more than 20 in NCT alone. There are too many large groups like SUPER JUNIOR, Girls' Generation, EXO, etc.' Brian agreed, saying, 'To shoot a music video, we have to rent a stadium.'
