SM Entertainment has released an official statement responding to complaints by fans of Girls’ Generation’s Taeyeon.

Recently, some of Taeyeon’s fans have been protesting SM Entertainment’s management of the singer, even sending protest trucks to the company’s building to voice their concerns. Among other issues, fans have complained about the agency’s promotions and choice of venues for Taeyeon’s ongoing “THE ODD OF LOVE” tour, which some have criticized as too small. Other concerns included the lack of self-produced content for Taeyeon and SM Entertainment’s handling of legal action against malicious commenters.

On July 5, the agency finally responded to the protests by posting a statement on Taeyeon’s official social media accounts that are managed by SM Entertainment.

SM Entertainment’s full statement is as follows:
