Taeyeon's fans rally to send protest trucks urging SM Entertainment to enhance her promotions

Fans of Taeyeon have taken to the streets, mobilizing a fleet of protest trucks to demand improved promotions for the talented artist from SM Entertainment.

Taeyeon, a prominent solo artist, and leader of the renowned girl group Girls' Generation, has captured the hearts of fans with her soulful voice and captivating performances. However, concerns have been raised by her devoted fanbase regarding what they perceive as insufficient promotional efforts by SM Entertainment.

Fans' frustrations have stemmed from the belief that the agency has not adequately supported Taeyeon's immense potential as an artist. The fans are pointing out the lack of venue space as SM Entertainment failed to book venues that can sufficiently house all of Taeyeon's fans, failed to promote Taeyeon's tours, and failed to launch Taeyeon's individual content.

Fans demanded, "Ridiculous audience number projects when Taeyeon can fill arena spaces, properly assess the size of Taeyeon's fandom and fix the venue space, give proper feedback for articles promoting Taeyeon's tours, there are only 2 contents in 9 months, is this fair according to SM?" Additionally, Taeyeon's fans are demanding that SM take legal action against the malicious commenters and expressed their dissatisfaction that the agency has not taken any action yet.

This has come as a surprise since Taeyeon's fandom has been known to be one of the quieter fandoms that rarely raised issues against the agency.

Netizens commented, "For 17 years this fandom stayed quiet because they thought they would cause trouble for Taeyeon. They didn't even release any protest statements in the past. Looking at their protest, the fandom is being reasonable too," "SM Entertainment really needs to wake up and do better," "They need to take action against Taeyeon's malicious commenters too," "When will SM Entertainment do work properly," "The way SM works, really makes me frustrated," and, "She has so little individual content too."

The commenters here are obviously ignorant and idiots, as Taeyeon is successful without promotion but its funny to say she has support when even a final poster of her tour wasnt published. No promo no clips but it doesnt look like it because she sells it out by no promo. To be fair, the Jakarta hall was expanded because of these trucks, and SM releasing a statement to pretent they’re working after the truck has been sent to promote their kwangya shit.

Lol Taeyeon is successful but if you follow her closely she always calls out SM with their incompentency, lack of promo and last min MV cancellations, no promo, etc. You want her success not her treatment!

I've come to think protests trucks do not work on big companies. Maybe works on smaller companies bcuz they have more to lose. But overall big companies like SME won't care. And the reality of it is if a company doesn't believe your artist is gonna make enough profit for their company compare to their bigger money earners, they're just be left in the corner.
