K-Pop Hits Reimagined by a Full Symphony Orchestra

SM Classics Live 2026, a concert that reworked three decades of K-pop hits into full orchestral arrangements, has highlighted the growing potential of Thailand's classical music scene to reach younger audiences through familiar songs. The show was held on July 12 at Prince Mahidol Hall, Mahidol University in Nakhon Pathom, just outside Bangkok, and paired the Thailand Philharmonic Orchestra (TPO) with a set list spanning SM Entertainment acts including BoA, TVXQ, Girls' Generation, Red Velvet, NCT and aespa. Red Velvet's Wendy appeared as the special guest vocalist, a booking first announced in April by organizer 54 Entertainment, with the Thailand date marking one of only two stops confirmed at the time for the global SM Classics series, alongside Singapore.

SM Classics Live brought K-pop hits to life with the Thailand Philharmonic Orchestra, featuring Red Velvet's Wendy as guest, moving fans to tears.

The Bank of Thailand has reaffirmed its accommodative monetary policy, keeping its benchmark interest rate at 1% despite growing calls for a rate increase.

Governor Vitai Ratanakorn stated that the recent depreciation of the Thai baht is primarily the result of global market dynamics rather than the interest rate differential with the United States. The central bank believes maintaining lower borrowing costs will help support exports, domestic demand, and economic growth, with Thailand’s economy projected to expand by 2.3%.
