Singer Taeyeon (SNSD member) is on the Asia tour "The Tense" and is scheduled to perform at Ariake Stadium in Tokyo, Japan on April 19-20, These are the only 2 days that the female artist met with Japanese fans during this tour.
But on April 17, SM Entertainment suddenly announced that Taeyeon's two solo concerts "The ODD of TENSE" scheduled to be held in Tokyo had been canceled.
SM explained: The equipment used for the Asian tour is currently being transported to Japan, but they are not yet there and preparing enough equipment for the concert in this situation is extremely difficult.
Although we have discussed many times with the parties involved and considered all feasible options, we finally concluded that it will be very difficult to continue the concert. We sincerely apologize for the great inconvenience caused to those who have waited for the performance.
The company added that they are considering the possibility of reorganizing the concert. Detailed information and updates will be announced as soon as there is an official decision.
Taeyeon fans criticized SM for their unprofessional work, when the concert was canceled just 2 days before the event. And the reason for the equipment not being transported in time to the performance was considered unreasonable.
After that, Taeyeon directly apologized to fans through its own messaging app. The singer expressed: After hearing the news of the concert in Japan being canceled, I was so worried about SONE (SNSD's fandom name) that I didn't know what to say.
I hate this whole situation and I apologize to SONE. It felt like all the efforts and expectations of everyone for my concert had immediately gone up in smoke, like being robbed. I don't know how to express my emptiness and despair."
The singer also thanked fans who are comforting and continuing to support her despite the unacceptable situation: The repeated mistakes, the whole process was so disappointing and frustrating that I could not believe it. But I know SONE must have been more shocked than me. Thank you for comforting me in this funny situation.
Taeyeon's sharing once again exploded with the outrage of fans. Because the "The Tense" tour is an important milestone, celebrating 10 years of Taeyeon's debut as a solo artist.
In January, SM caused controversy for announcing too late that Taeyeon would not participate in the SM Town Live concert in Seoul.
The female singer revealed that when she suggested singing 2-3 songs in the concert, SM did not respond or prepare anything, making her unable to understand the company's intentions. Taeyeon was disappointed because it hanned to receive the necessary support from the management company.
