The text further read that Wendy and Taeyeon's names were present in the SMTOWN Live in Seoul performance lineup from the beginning and that negotiations have been with them to confirm their participation in the event. Their frustration was evident in the line, "If you (the artists) are so dissatisfied, just please leave."
Another text mentioned that the artists have not been able to fulfill their roles as sunbaenim (senior). "They think they can get away with just a Bubble message? I have a lot to say after seeing the news articles" included in the same text.
