At the opening ceremony for SMTOWN's Coex Artium, Lee Soo Man confessed to feeling pressured as a "cultural content" leader.

"For a long time, I've always wondered what it would be like to build an amusement park in the city. Today, this small location serves to fulfill a dream I've had for a long time. We've prepared so much to show you all SM specific cultural content varieties.

SM must never forget their role as a leader. Our shoulders are heavy with the responsibility to lead our cultural content all over the world. We are the first in the world to attempt a hologram musical. In order to make it happen, we had to study on panorama visions, 3D sound systems, and 3D printers, as that is what our future entails.

I feel that we are displaying our contents through upgraded culture technology. As it is just the beginning, we will be lacking in some areas but we will work towards tying up the loose ends. We ask for your support by enjoying our content. This is a culture, so enjoy it instead of looking for criticism."
