The manager of SNSD has found himself in the middle of a controversy after breaking a fan's cellphone at an event. SNSD had attended a football tournament final earlier today as cheerleaders, performing and kicking footballs. Sounds like a typical outing for the girls up to this part, but there was a twist to the story. As they were leaving the field and surrounded by fans, the group's manager grabbed a female fan's cellphone, which has been used to take pictures of the members, and then threw it on the ground, damaging it. SM Entertainment said in a statement,

"After the event, the girls were exiting. The situation became very hectic as everyone surrounded them. One fan then shoved a cellphone in a member's face to take a picture. To avoid this situation, the manager tried to stop her and the cellphone fell out of her hand."
