On April 26, SuperM kicked off the “Beyond LIVE” virtual concert series. The concert was a huge success, and the group revealed they will have a comeback soon. Making it even better for fans who watched the concert, SuperM performed some songs from their upcoming comeback during “SuperM – Beyond The Future.”
A single from SuperM’s comeback is called ‘Tiger Inside’
“Beyond LIVE” is a concert series created by SM Entertainment and Naver, and the virtual concert experience gives fans a new way to view concerts. SuperM was the first concert of the series, and WayV, NCT Dream, and NCT 127 will have virtual “Beyond LIVE” concerts over the coming weeks.
SuperM’s tour setlist consisted of multiple songs that do not have released studio versions, including “Dangerous Woman” and “With You.” The group performed “Dangerous Woman” on Jimmy Kimmel Live! and “With You” during One World: Together At Home.
During their “Beyond LIVE” concert, SuperM teased fans about a future comeback album that will be released “soon” and performed another unreleased song, “Tiger Inside.” As they performed, special effects made it seem like tigers were running around the members. “Tiger Inside” features powerful choreography and is incredibly catchy. With the digital effects onstage, it made one hope that “Tiger Inside” will have a music video.
