Girls' Generation 's Taeyeon and Red Velvet 's Wendy have shared detailed explanations regarding their absence from SM Entertainment 's 30th anniversary concert, an event highly anticipated by fans.

Taeyeon shared via the Bubble platform, revealing that she had initially offered to prepare two or three songs for the event. However, despite her offers, the company failed to make the necessary preparations, preventing her from participating. She emphasized that her absence was not due to a lack of motivation, but rather a lack of support from the company.

She expressed her frustration by responding to a fan curious about the company's situation, ironically mentioning that the company had "forgotten," which would explain the difficulties encountered.

On the same day, Wendy also used Bubble to clarify her situation, stating that discussions with the company had taken place a month prior, but the official announcement was only made recently. She expressed regret at not being able to perform with the other Red Velvet members, but encouraged fans to enjoy the other performances planned for the anniversary.

Fans' reaction was one of confusion and criticism of SM Entertainment for its poor communication with its artists. Comments on online forums expressed dissatisfaction, with some even suggesting that Taeyeon should leave the company, questioning SM's ability to manage its artists professionally.

The situation has highlighted the challenges artists can face with their management, and the frustration felt when expected support falls short of expectations.
