TVXQ's Hompage Flooded With Complaints As SM Concert is Cancelled

[-ochre.livejournal.com]

After the 'SM TWON LIVE '09' was postponed indefinitely by SM Entertainment who said the reason was the lawsuit between the agency and TVXQ's three members, Xiah Junsu, Micky Yoochun and YoungWoong Jaejoong, the fans' criticism has been flooding in.

SM released an official statement on the 7th of Augus stating that, "The 'SM TOWN LIVE '09' that was scheduled to be held on August 16th at the Seoul Jamsil Olympic Stadium has been postponed indefinitely."

SM also stated that all ticket holders would be receiving a full refund but the fans' rage did not subside easily. On TVXQ's Hompage, posts of disappointment came from not only TVXQ fans, but from fans of other singers who were to be performing in the SM TOWN concert.

TVXQ fans stated, "We put a lot of effort and money into making events, and now they've become obsolete," "How are they going to compensate for our efforts to secure tickets?" "We even rented a car to go, how are going to compensate for that?" "We've waited one year, and this is what we get?" They showed such strong reactions and protested to SM Entertainment. Some fans said that SM was trying to place the blame on TVXQ by saying that the concert was postponed because of the group and harshly criticized SM for what they did.

The fans of fellow SM Entertainment singers such as SHINee and Super Junior also showed their discontent and sided with and supported the fans of TVXQ.

Some fans said they would visit SM to give their complaints while other said they would boycott SM goods. There has also been a suggestion for all the fans to gather and rally against SM on the 16th at the Jamsil Olympic Stadium at the time the concert was supposed to happen.

SM said, "SM TOWN LIVE '09 was a concert that was extremely popular with tickets being sold out as soon as they were put on sale, so we are very sorry to be giving out this unfortunate news," and "We promise to bring a better SM TOWN LIVE concert in the future to those fans and families who wish to come to these concerts."

[rikayla.livejournal.com]

Will we be expecting a Only13-like protest then? :O
But that would be kinda nice to see, all those fanclubs unified.

[zulutangoromeo.livejournal.com]

Kinda nice, or a frightening coming together of crazy people with disposable incomes?

SM should never have underestimated the resilience of upper-middle class teenagers in a first world country with time time time on their hands. THERE WILL BE BLOOD.

[hp-groupie.livejournal.com]

They are ANGRY. Goodness. Watch it SM. But then again, I'd be a LITTLE bit pissed too.

Also, did you mean to write the same thing twice in your subject?

However, can't say they didn't see it coming with the whole current situation.

sme's response is so lame

[iiluminate.livejournal.com]

SM's plan to put the blame on DBSK and to set the other fanclubs agaisnt Cassiopiea just blew up on their own faces. It's nice to see SMtown fanclubs being united for once.

Oh dear, SM. You think they, being a music entertainment company, would know that you never NEVER ever piss off fangirls. tsk.

[xxsmiiles.livejournal.com]

Dude, if all the fanclubs unite, SM is done...

[honeydice.livejournal.com]

SM shouldn't postpone it. Even if there's the lawsuit going on, just let them continue their activities, isn't that what they promised?

[blooberrie.livejournal.com]

Jaechunsu's injunction was approved. No SM activities for the boys so no concert.

[umbrella-smile.livejournal.com]

Wow fans are catching on to SM's "lets blame everything that goes wrong on TVXQ" scheme.
Bravo Kfans, Bravo!

[music3chick.livejournal.com]

Exactly. When I said the title, I expected the worse.
Go Cassies!

[midnitexsonata.livejournal.com]

I still believe they are trying to kill jang ri in's chances at a comeback.

[rikayla.livejournal.com]

[memoryofsunday.livejournal.com]

I'm actually slightly confused by this article.

So, is SM TOWN 09 canceled or postponed?

and

Are the fans angry at SM for canceling/postponing the concert or are they blaming TVXQ because of the lawsuit? The way the article is written, I'm having a hard time figuring it out.

Either way, SM is making a bitch move. ]:

[iiluminate.livejournal.com]

SM town is postponed indefinetly.
Fans are angry at SM for postponing the concert. They are also angry at SM for putting the blame on TVXQ.

In other words, the fanclubs are united because they are angry at SM.
