SM Employees Call Out Girls’ Generation’s Taeyeon And Red Velvet Wendy’s Absence For Upcoming Concert

SM Entertainment employees recently expressed frustration with the controversy surrounding artist absences for the upcoming SMTOWN LIVE in Seoul concert.

The post was made on the Blind app, a community of verified anonymous employees of some of Korea’s biggest employers.

“SMTOWN concert Taeyeon Wendy

Why are they suddenly not attending…”

To this, other SM employees left comments regarding Girls’ Generation’s Taeyeon and Red Velvet Wendy‘s recent Bubble messages to fans.

• “Posting those messages on Bubble like that is also power. Their names were on the poster lineup from the beginning. Do you think there was no negotiation regarding that? It’s already annoying that we have to deal with this, and yet they act like that like it’s nothing. If you are so dissatisfied, just please leave.”
• “Totally agree. I’m already over despair and am just fueled with anger. We’re all working our asses off with the concert just around the corner, and they think they can get away with just a Bubble message? I have a lot to say after seeing the news articles…if you are a sunbaenim than act like one.”

Others also left comments telling people not to believe everything you see.

• “This isn’t sudden… don’t trust what celebrities say.”
• “I wonder why?”
• “Man…”
• “Hopefully it’s not a contract issue…SM please don’t.”
• “I can’t say much but all I can say is that we prepared for this concert since last summer.”
• “It’s always the easy way out to blame the company…it’s frustrating because I know how that feels.”

Previously, Taeyeon and Wendy both left messages to fans regarding their absence for the upcoming SMTOWN concert.
