SM delays SNSD's Comeback due to "loss of video data"


After dropping several teasers and confirming the date for the release of SNSD's new song and video "Mr. Mr", SM have announced that the comeback could possibly be delayed up to three weeks due to "loss of data".

SM told Dispatch:

"We are currently discussing all the alternative possibilities related to Girls' Generation comeback. However, we are still in the middle of the discussion, we are planning to proceed the promotions for the comeback as scheduled" (this means, they will still have promotions AFTER the release of the music video, unlike what some people predict that they won't have any promotion week).


When Dispatch went on to further question SM, by suggesting that SNSD comes back before the release of their music video, SM went on to answer like this:

"We aren't thinking about the official comeback now. The most priority thing is the music video. Without any doubts, the music video is the start of Girls' Generation's promotions. The start of the comeback should be the music video. The quality is crucial more than any thing else. We really apologize to the fans who are anticipating in such a long time. Once things become settled, we will eventually reveal it. The lost data contained crucial scenes of the music video. The worst situation could happen, we have to re-shoot the video. We are currently exploring all the possible options in different perceptions. Please excuse us."

This is the same company that was able to keep SNSD's "Dancing Video" safely in tact for over four years, and now they have magically "lost" the most important parts of the "Mr. Mr" video. Call me a cynic, but I'm really not buying SM's bullshit excuse.

I firmly believe that SM is delaying SNSD's comeback because of YG's sudden announcement that 2NE1's second album would be released on the 24th of January - the same date as SNSD's EP. 2NE1 has a higher chance to sweep awards on music shows if they comeback a couple of days after SNSD, rather than on the same day. 

SM probably smelled YG's  shit plot for 2NE1's glory (because he still thinks that they are a top group lmao), and decided that they'd rather fight this war head-to-head. Any explanation has to how SM could lose such crucial footage would completely go over my head because they have never been this careless before, and it seems so stupid that no back-ups were made. Why would SM do something so careless that it means they'd have to spend additional money to re-film?

I refuse to believe in such a bullshit excuse.

  1. Why would they be scared of 2ne1? I know GG sucks now compared to the past, but they are still there on the top while 2ne1 is like the lowest rank girl groups for me at least.

  2. I doubt it. 2NE1 couldn't even beat APINK last year. Blackjacks were shitting all over forums getting pissed. Given SM's ingenious marketing idea, even if Girl's Generation loses out in the trophy sweeping, they'll probably bring EXO back as usual. SM would have Girl's Generation comeback twice this year, depending on how Mr Mr does.

  3. I'm not saying that SM is scared of YG or 2NE1, they just want to fully crush 2NE1 after YG's arrogant statement.

    1. Which was probably YG's plan all along. If 2NE1 gets crushed by Soshi it gives him an excuse to replace 2NE1 with his YG GG

  4. This is SM attempting to remove all doubt about the whole top girl-group thing. They want to stomp out 2NE1's weaker claim to the throne.

  5. If anything, SNSD is afraid of Sunmi rather than 2NE1.

  8. Tao was jacking off to some TaoHun fanfic and accidentally skeeted all over the USB stick. He wasn't punished too severely. They just banned him from wearing leather shorts and leggings for a week.

  10. I always thought it was brcause SM was, as usual, drip feeding fans. They know that delaying the comeback will only raise anticipation.

  11. So basically the fans get shit on because of SM's and YG's massive egos.

  12. Ugh. Why S.M.? For once I was hoping they would release SOMETHING on time...

    Oh and 2NE1 is my second favorite girl group. F(x) is my first and SNSD is my 3rd. Sorry but I'm not sorry.

  13. Stellar, Sunmi > Overrated SNSD, 2NE1.

  14. I figure they are more worried about Sunmi than anything.

    Sunny looks nice.
