On Instagram, SM Entertainment graced Pink Bloods with official photos of the different "lines" from the label!
Cheers to no photoshopping anymore!
In the K-pop scene, so-called "lines" exist, which refer to a collection of idols who share something in common. This applies to everything — from skills and visuals, birthdays, favorites to dislikes, unique traits, and more.
K-pop lines, at times, are unofficial and created only by fans; thus, their photos are usually edited and aren't acknowledged.
However, SM Entertainment is finally doing a game-changer after they decided to take the photos of their idols based on popular lines suggested by Pink Bloods (SM stans)!
1. Angel Line
Comprised of Super Junior Leeteuk, NCT Haechan, and WayV Kun, the "angel line" refers to members who are kind, patient, and giving.
2. Main Dancer Line
In SM, the main dancer line is comprised of Super Junior Shindong and Eunhyuk, Girls' Generation Hyoyeon, as well as NCT and WayV Ten.
3. DM Line

aespa Karina, Wonbin and NCT Wish Sion also took a snap together to commemorate the "DM line," which refers to how they were scouted by SM to join the label by sending them DMs.
4. Kyu-Line
While Kyu-Line was originally comprised of TVXQ Changmin, Super Junior Kyuhyun, SHINee Minho, and EXO Suho, it underwent multiple changes, introducing additional member NCT Doyoung and after this photo, fans are assuming Shotaro is most likely a new recruit.
5. Main Vocalist Line
Although not complete, fans are in a frenzy after the gathering of SM's top singers — Super Junior Yesung, NCT Chenle and Renjun, Red Velvet Wendy, and WayV Xiaojun.
6. Leader / AI Visual Line
One of the photos that truly sent fans into a hysteria was when SM dropped a group photo of SNSD Taeyeon, Red Velvet Irene, and aespa Karina — with the bonus NCT 127 Taeyong!
Not only they were leaders of their respective teams, but they were also known for their top-tier visuals that resemble AI!
7. Japanese Line
Starting with Yuta as the only Japanese in SM, the line slowly grew bigger with the addition of aespa Giselle, RIIZE Shotaro, and NCT Wish members Riku, Yushi, Ryo, and Sakuya.
8. Deer Line
Without SHINee Minho and SNSD Yoona, the Deer line of SM took a photo together including TVXQ Changmin, NCT Dream Jaemin, and RIIZE Seungchan.
9. Innocent Line
Amid the fancy visuals in SM Entertainment, there is a so-called "innocent line" from the label comprised of Super Junior Heechul, Red Velvet Yeri, NCT Jungwoo, WayV Winwin, RIIZE Wonbin, and NCT Wish Yushi.
