'The Big Event for Mental Health' seeks to promote the importance of mental health. Additionally, the event aims to spread awareness on how to manage mental health disorders and encourage mental health programs to be provided to all. Several special guests, including Queen Mathilde of Belgium, First Vice President of Costa Rica Epsy Campbell Barr, Liverpool FC goalkeeper Alisson Becker and Nigerian singer Korede Bello among others will make an appearance at the event, according to Korea Dispatch.

This is not the first time that SuperM have been spreading positivity in 2020. The news of the event arrived soon after the release of the band's debut album, 'Super One', and two pre-release singles, including '100' and 'Tiger Inside'. With inspiring themes from its songs, the album shared the message, “We are all special beings, each of us has a special power, and let’s overcome the difficulties as one." In April, SuperM performed as the only K-pop group at the One World: Together At Home event which benefited frontline workers fighting against the spread of Covid-19.
