As part of the highly anticipated SMTOWN Live 2024 event, SM Entertainment, one of South Korea's top entertainment agencies, had previously revealed the lineup for the Tokyo Dome show in November 2023. The new boy group NCT Wish is reported to debut with their performance at the 2024 grand yearly celebration at the Tokyo Dome.

With NCT Wish set to make its formal stage debut in the 2024 edition, excitement for the new group's performance is at an all-time high. Yushi, Jaehee, Sion, Riku, Ryo, and Sakuya—the six-member rookie boy group—will perform their inaugural song, Wish.
For the unversed, SM Entertainment usually plans live performances (much like a concert) featuring its star-studded idol groups and solo artists, which last between four and six hours and are hosted around Asia once a year.
The last SMTOWN Live 2023: SMCU PALACE event by SM Entertainment took place on September 23, 2023, at the Gelora Bung Karno Stadium (GBK) in Jakarta, Indonesia. The event was organized in collaboration with KB Bank.

In other news, SM Entertainment is reported to debut new idol groups and artist lineups in 2024. The agency announced that NCT Wish will be among the four artist groups making their debut in 2019. Furthermore, veteran singer and songwriter BoA has reportedly been roped in to guide and oversee the new group's activities and growth.
The artist management business stated that the other three new groups consist of a newly formed female group, a British-based boy band, and Naevis, a fictional assistant to the girl group Aespa.
