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:

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.

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."

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.

Sica says: no problem, I\'m taking care of taengoo in the hole 

1 meter is a really long distance. both sides were very professional about it (although im sure behind the curtains it probably wasn\'t). I\'m glad she\'s okay and hopefully this is a scary forewarning to avoid these kinds of issues

I\'m glad that the situation was dealt with very professionally.

The fact that there was a public incident and apology means that there will most likely be an active effort to get rid of such problems in the future. That\'s great. Although this initial scenario was horrible, perhaps it has drawn much-needed attention to faults in stage structure. 

And it\'s lucky that TaeYeon isn\'t hurt too badly. Pulled muscles, etc. are incredibly painful, but when you think about what

could have happened after she fell six feet in high heels... Anyways, I hope she recovers soon and doesn\'t sustain more injuries. 

I\'m so greatful that this situation wasn\'t blown into terrible proportions; they handled the incident very professionally and respectfully - both sides at that. I do hope that Taeyeon unnie is able to heal nicely before continuing on :3

At least they apologized and acknowledged their mistake.. Just hoping that Taeyeon is okay and gets better soon.

No need to apology....its all because that bitch fault not careful

It is hard to see a hole in the ground when its dark and you are not expecting it. Not to mention she is wearing higheels. Don\'t call people a female dog....

Well, the only bitch that I know is your mom, so better STFO, jackass

senyap ah bodoh how the hell are you supposed to see stuff in the dark smh

I bet if Jessica fell through that hole, they would have just stood there. kekeke

You profile name describes who you are. Thank you for your time.

I hope that future concert venues are more cautious when it comes to the safety for the artists.

Come on haters, keep blaming Taeyeon it\'s ok. :D

In the end she will be the one with all of the money (thanks to your endless free promotion, even tho it\'s negative, but it sill makes her name floating high through articles, hehehe) and being praised by your oppars.

And you will remain sitting there, behind the computer typing free promotions for her.

Omg!! She fell 2 meters?? That\'s alot!!! I hope she\'s fine~ TT
