Taeyeon’s Asia tour ‘The ODD of LOVE’ has officially concluded with the final show in Singapore.
On the evening of August 20th, Taeyeon successfully concluded her concert in Singapore, bringing an end to the Asia tour ‘The ODD of LOVE’ with numerous unforgettable moments. At the end of the show, the leader of SNSD (Girls’ Generation) expressed gratitude to the fans, production team, and especially her management company, SM Entertainment. This gesture by Taeyeon ignited a burst of excitement within the fan community.
In particular, Taeyeon sent a special thank you: “Thank you for diligently focusing on my concert amidst all the controversies, SM Entertainment.” During recent times, SM Entertainment has faced a series of controversies such as the departure of Lee Soo Man, power struggles within the company, fan dissatisfaction, and lawsuits related to ‘slave contracts.’ It can be said that the year 2023 has been far from peaceful for fans who follow and support SM idols.
Previously, Taeyeon’s fans sent trucks multiple times to SM’s headquarters, demanding fair treatment for their idol. The fact that SM organized concerts for Taeyeon with a significantly small scale and poorly managed arrangements has left fans extremely dissatisfied. In fact, Taeyeon herself has openly expressed her dissatisfaction with the management company on social media. Notably, during a concert in Taiwan, Taeyeon had to personally ask an SM staff member to take photos of her with fans, but there was no response, triggering a wave of protest.
Therefore, the media speculates that the relationship between Taeyeon and SM is quite strained. Taeyeon’s act of sending a special thank-you message during the final show of the tour surprised her fans.
