This is very different from usual label behavior. In February, ASTRO's debut showcase was scheduled at the same time as�Taemin's solo album showcase. In response, SM Entertainment�pulled Taemin's showcase up by an hour, and Fantagio Entertainment�pushed ASTRO's showcase back an hour to prevent overlap. Similarly in January, Ryeowook's solo showcase and G-Friend's showcase overlapped, and both labels adjusted for an hour each. Usually, labels try to avoid overlapping, and even in the cases of overlap, many labels confer with each other and adjust their schedules.

Both Star Empire�and JYP Entertainment revealed that YG Entertainment had not contacted them about the overlapping schedules, even though YG Entertainment was the one who scheduled their press conferences after theirs. As such, YG Entertainment's inconsiderate conduct is being criticized.
