SM Clarifies SNSD's "unprofessional" scandal

10:45 pm - 11/03/2011


Recently, there was a claim that netizens found an issue with Taeyeon and Yoona’s performance in their MTV Iggy interview in New York on October 24th, particularly the screencap above of Taeyeon resting her chin on her hand.

SM Entertainment released a statement on November 1st detailing what exactly happened, stating “The program MC wanted to talk while watching the Girls’ Generation music video being shown on the low monitor. Taeyeon was shown on screen naturally resting her chin on her hand while watching the monitor” and that “We hope there are no other misunderstandings.”

Also, “That day, Taeyeon and Yoona, as well as the other members’ conditions weren’t very good, but they appeared on the show of their own volition and, along with the fan meeting schedule afterward, did their best to digest their schedule.”

anyone who actually thinks their behavior was an issue needs to re-watch the video. they did nothing unprofessional during the course of the interview. goes to show how drama can be started from nothing and how easily people will buy into it.

You can see from the screenshots even that everyone is looking in the same direction. Not sure why everyone was getting so up in arms TBQH.

a+ op
ababobaby 4th-Nov-2011 02:51 am (UTC)
and i heard akp deleted their article about it? lol
xo_deidara 4th-Nov-2011 02:50 am (UTC)
Did anyone think that perhaps, oh I don't know, they were feeling slightly TIRED and couldn't help but rest their chins on their hands? I don't know, just a thought...
notochrasy 4th-Nov-2011 02:52 am (UTC)
Well yeah they were tired, but if they did actually rest their chin on their hands because they were purely tired, then I'll admit...it's not really something you should do in an interview lol
hopeandmemory 4th-Nov-2011 02:52 am (UTC)
good. so tired of soshi haters lately, it's just getting old tbh.
lcbarnes 4th-Nov-2011 02:53 am (UTC)
Netizens are fucking stupid. That is all
birdsthatsing 4th-Nov-2011 02:53 am (UTC)
I went to the fan meet right after they had recorded this, and they even admitted that they were tired and jet lagged still. People need to get off their backs about this.
notochrasy 4th-Nov-2011 02:53 am (UTC)
logical statement sment, very logical. well done :)
xcherryblossomx 4th-Nov-2011 02:53 am (UTC)
They were tired, its called jet-lag + SME slavery practices.
k0dama 4th-Nov-2011 03:10 am (UTC)
OH SNAP

but likely true.

I remember the jet-lag from travelling from Korea to the US was practically impossible.
It took me a week to finally stay awake past 2PM EST.
xalexandriam 4th-Nov-2011 02:57 am (UTC)
and there will still be people in this post saying that every excuse that has been given is no excuse for their behavior.

tbh, i didn't even notice taeyeon and yoona in the video.
lilazntriksta 4th-Nov-2011 02:58 am (UTC)
lol i keep staring at jessica in that pic, she's laid back all slick hahah
hablarloco 4th-Nov-2011 03:19 am (UTC)
lmao totally like a boss.
dysphoriia 4th-Nov-2011 03:00 am (UTC)
eh, lame excuse. just admit that they were tired and you overbooked them with work.
erbalurbal 4th-Nov-2011 03:02 am (UTC)
It amazes me that a journalist can go to a message board and create and article based on what they read there.
funkaliciousss 4th-Nov-2011 03:03 am (UTC)
ikr. journalism is just a lost profession now with the rise of the new media.
pluxie 4th-Nov-2011 03:02 am (UTC)
STRESSSS!!
i thought this was resolved already?
rinn1e 4th-Nov-2011 03:03 am (UTC)
SK... the US don't care about shit like this. We aren't nit picky. Heck, most of us don't even pay attention to such detail or even watch these shows.

You make your idols so boring. My gosh, let them have some 'scandals' while they're in the US. Free roam.
bishieaddict 4th-Nov-2011 03:09 am (UTC)
lol I agree with letting them roam free.

I think the worst "scandals" are the dating ones. No one's even doing anything illegal by going on a date. I just get annoyed with it.
bishieaddict Give them a break...4th-Nov-2011 03:06 am (UTC)
I'm not even a fan of theirs...
I was, admit, a bit disappointed with Yoona at the concert (all she said was her name in the intro) BUT then I learned that she was sick...so I was more understanding, and I felt sorry for here. They were all up late for the concert, then they had to wake up early the next day on top of jet leg to do this interview, and then go to the fan meet, soon afterwards. They all were great for the fan meet though. Jessica (?) was really awesome. I felt that they all cared for their fans.
lazmy 4th-Nov-2011 03:10 am (UTC)
good golly gosh how dare they rest their heads on their chins!!! i am offended!
funkaliciousss 4th-Nov-2011 03:13 am (UTC)
well thenthey should have let hyoyeon have mroe screen time since gurl would be nodding away like a boss.
feel_my_mind 4th-Nov-2011 05:06 am (UTC)
true words never spoken. Her and Sunny are always so smily and happy.
djlancerock 4th-Nov-2011 03:14 am (UTC)
this is not even the mtv iggy interview, they looked even worse/sicker during that one
hablarloco 4th-Nov-2011 03:21 am (UTC)
Was clarifying this even necessary?

SM feeding the trolls. smh.
x_tsurara_x 4th-Nov-2011 03:54 am (UTC)
Was clarifying this even necessary?
no it wasn't
geekpants 4th-Nov-2011 03:30 am (UTC)
Netizen turds. SNSD were absolutely exhausted that day and the fact they managed to make an appearance at all is to be commended.
tippani 4th-Nov-2011 03:33 am (UTC)
u guys are such biased fans, they knew they what they were getting into omfg they should be vomiting rainbows and puppies 24/7!11 it's their job!11
slow_rush 4th-Nov-2011 03:55 am (UTC)
SM is using the "they were tired" excuse, unacceptable
royalantares 4th-Nov-2011 04:05 am (UTC)
It was just a case of deceiving screencaps and actual tiredness. Poor Yoona was about to fall over and sleep.
antz25 4th-Nov-2011 04:06 am (UTC)
So, SM admit that they overworked SNSD? Now, that's good... :)

Truthfully, I do understand SNSD. Humans get tired... It's normal
Albeit, it's probably better if they can smile a bit, because they get their money from singing, dancing, and showing happy face in front of camera... right?

Hmmm...it's not exactly the first time I've seen Taeyeon behave like this... Remember Oh! special performance? While the other looked super happy and bubbly (like how they r suppose to be, coz the song is so cute and I love it), she looked somehow constipated - no smile, hal-hearted singing, un-energetic movement, hurts my eyes - I think that's not professional... No matter what the reason is, it's still unprofessional...

Well, I still like SNSD... they r pretty and entertaining... :)
uniqlos 4th-Nov-2011 04:09 am (UTC)
that's what turned me off from her lol, she threw a tantrum because the music bank pd wouldn't let her rerecord her duet with yonghwa. but whatever, she wasn't my favorite member anyway so i wasn't expecting much from her.
uniqlos 4th-Nov-2011 04:10 am (UTC)
they were a lot more chipper during the ny1 interview (when the host asked them "~sowaneul malhaebwa~?") tis a shame that mtv iggy is the more prominent interview tho, i guess that's why korea was fussed.
shortysc22 4th-Nov-2011 04:24 pm (UTC)
that interview from ny1 was the cutest thing ever. The interviewer obviously knew what he was talking about!
lao4eva 4th-Nov-2011 04:16 am (UTC)
Netizens need to stop being drama llamas.
