On April 22, fans and netizens can't help but agree on the claims that SM Entertainment has strict and proper training for its artists, from skills to physical appearance, after netizens noticed that artists who trained under the agency have uniform stances.
This is currently trending in Weibo, a popular Chinese site. Online users are talking about how they noticed for the first time the similar hand positions of artists who are from the company, and artists who aren't part of SM Entertainment anymore.
Lol. "SM站姿培訓" (SM stance training) is trending on Weibo. Basically saying how SM trainees (former & current) have good manners & posture & all stand uniformly in same way. pic.twitter.com/Ew8JXILV62 — 구자라 (@Koo_ZaZa) April 22, 2020
Photos were also uploaded by Chinese fans to prove the sameness, including Super Junior, SNSD, SHINee, f(x), EXO, Red Velvet, and NCT. Also, photos of f(x)'s Victoria and former EXO members Tao, Luhan, and Kris, who all left SM and are currently promoting in China, are also doing a similar posture.

Thus, fans alleged and commended SM Entertainment for teaching their trainees proper etiquette, and that the agency doesn't solely focus on enhancing the skills and talents of their artists.

Further, longtime supporters of SM artists are shocked that they haven't noticed it before, and if they did, they probably forgot about it due to how chaotic and fun SM artists are.
On the other hand, fans are hoping that the second half of the year will be good to them, following the saddening events during the first half, involving their artists - starting from Red Velvet's Wendy's accident, the mixed reactions of EXO-Ls to Chen's marriage, and the passing of Taeyeon's father and grandmother.
But there were amazing news, too, such NCT 127's comeback album "NCT #127 Neo Zone" in the second quarter of 2020, EXO's Suho's debut album "Self-Portrait," and SuperM continuously garnering attention internationally following their charity concert with Lady Gaga, Taylor Swift, The Rolling Stones, and Paul McCartney.
SuperM, WayV, NCT Dream, and NCT 127 will meet their fans through the "Beyond Live" first live concert, in collaboration with Naver. The boy groups will perform on April 26, May 3, May 10, and May 17.
Other pleasant news include the announcement of NCT Dream's comeback and possible reunion with Mark, Red Velvet's Seulgi and Irene debuting as a sub-unit duo, SHINee's Taemin comeback album, EXO Baekhyun's solo comeback, Red Velvet's Yeri preparing new music, EXO's Xiumin's return in December this year and D.O.'s discharge in January of 2021, and SHINee's possible comeback within 2020.
