Seoul Music Awards Apologizes For Taeyeon Accident

The 24th Seoul Music Awards committee recently issued an official apology for the accident in which Girls Generation's Taeyeon was involved in during the ceremony.

The official apology was issued on the 23rd through the event's main homepage, with the message stating, "We sincerely apologize for the incident involving Taeyeon at our awards ceremony. In regard to the accident where Taeyeon was forced to leave the performance, we would like to directly apologize to her fellow members, fans, and agency. "

The incident occurred when the lift located below the 1.8 meter high stage lowered by accident, creating a hole that Taeyeon eventually slipped into.

The awards committee reiterated that because they routinely check safety guidelines and regulations, they were taken aback when the accident occurred during the live ceremony.  

SM Entertainment released a statement in an interview with OSEN stating, "Taeyeon was taken to the hospital immediately after the accident and was tested for possible fractures. Fortunately, it turned out to be minor but she still suffered a back strain. We will be monitoring her status while she recovers."
