The Seoul Music Awards has released an official statement and apology for accidentally creating a hole in their stage that Girls' Generation memberTaeyeon fell through.
Yesterday, shocking footage of Taeyeon falling through the stage after performing with Taetiseo surfaced online. The award's organizers explain how the accident was able to occur.
"As they were leaving the stage, the lift on the stage floor was suddenly moved. There was miscommunication between the stage team staff and the lift was pulled down by about 1 meter on a stage that was 1.8 meters high. Taeyeon then slipped and fell into the hole. After seeing this, the Taetiseo members and their backup dancers 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.'," the statement said.
A high ranking official for the Seoul Music Awards contacted SM Entertainment to apologize for the accident and offer their support in any recovery efforts. SM Entertainment responded by saying that Taeyeon's injuries were not serious and thanking them for reaching out.
"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," the statement said.
