SM Entertainment has confirmed that Taeyeon is doing okay, but many are still questioning the unsafe conditions of the 'Seoul Music Awards' stage. The organizers apologized and explained:
"We sincerely apologize for Taeyeon's accident.
On January 22 at the '24th Seoul Music Awards' held at the Olympic Park Gymnastics Stadium, Taeyeon, who is a member of Girls' Generation's subunit TaeTiSeo, suffered an unexpected accident while exiting the stage. For this, we sincerely apologize to Taeyeon, her members, her agency, and her fans.
We'll explain the accident.
The accident took place after Taeyeon and her members performed 'Holler' following winning a Bonsang. As they were leaving the stage, the lift on the stage floor was suddenly moved. The communication of the production team wasn't coordinated, and the lift dropped about 1 meter from the 1.8-meter high stage. Taeyeon then slipped and fell into the hole. Seeing this, the TaeTiSeo members Tiffany and Seohyun and their backdancers pulled Taeyeon back up on stage. The stage production team explained, 'The event was getting delayed, so in the process of hurrying things along, a mistake was made.'
After the accident, Taeyeon came down from the stage with the help of her members and went to the hospital for examination. After a close examination, she was told that there aren't major injuries, but the muscles around her waist are in shock.
On January 23, a high ranking member of the 'Seoul Music Awards' organization committee got in contact with Taeyeon's agency, SM Entertainment, and made a sincere apology to Taeyeon and the members. He also promised to cooperate with any follow-up that needs to be taken.
SM Entertainment responded, 'Taeyeon's injuries are not that severe, but thank you for your concern.'
The organization committee of the 'Seoul Music Awards' worked extensively for safety and safety education, including multiple rehearsals. However, an unexpected accident happened, and we want to sincerely apologize once again to Taeyeon, her members, her agency, and fans for causing worry.
We sincerely hope that Taeyeon will recover quickly and return to normal activities to see her fans."
As previously reported, Taeyeon and her two TaeTiSeo members were making their way off-stage after their performance of "Holler" when she fell 2 meters (~ 6.6 ft) due to a lowered lift.
