Editor's note

S.M. The Ballad's quiet, vocal-focused side project

A rotating lineup of SM Entertainment vocalists recording Korean and Chinese ballads.

For the project's mood, 'Miss You' and the Chinese version of 'Breath' are good places to start. They're quiet, direct, and built around the voices.

The project gave some of K-pop's most prominent singers a space to work outside their usual groups, focusing purely on vocal delivery. Songs like 'Love Again' and 'Hot Times' became showcases for that stripped-back approach. It's a reminder that behind the choreography and production, these are fundamentally singers.

The project appeared in 2010 and returned in 2014 with a mostly new lineup. The songs are all ballads, but the featured artists and languages shifted between releases.

Archive material and source history

S.M. The Ballad is a vocal group from S.M. Entertainment that formed in 2010 with the release of their debut single 'Miss You.' That track featured Kyuhyun, Jonghyun, and Taeyeon. Over time, the lineup has included other S.M. artists like Chen, Baekhyun, Ryeowook, and Yesung.

Their first album was 2010's 'S.M. The Ballad Vol. 1 - Epistle,' which mixed ballads with R&B. Later releases included songs like 'Breath' and 'Hot Times,' the latter coming out in 2014. Their catalog has tracks such as 'A Day Without You' and 'Don't Lie (feat. Henry Lau).'

The group's sound relies on layered vocals from its rotating members. Kyuhyun's falsetto, Jonghyun's tenor, Taeyeon's soprano, Chen's warmer tones, and Baekhyun's range all contribute to the harmonies. Ryeowook and Yesung have also added their voices to the mix.
