Idols like SNSD these days are being watched like hawks, especially when they just won 1st place on mid-year special Music Bank’s K-Chart. SNSD’s leader Taeyeon gives a speech that stirred up some heat from netizens.

Previously on the show, a fan witnessed “Taeyeon’s earpiece/in-ear monitor wasn’t working well during the stage rehearsal. She requested help from the staff and after two recordings, Taeyeon seemed displeased. Even though the staff were clearing the stage, she was still frustrated and refused to leave the stage.”

As if that wasn’t bad enough, Taeyeon apparently couldn’t hear her own voice because of the broken earpiece so she cracked some notes during her performance of Kelly Clarkson’s ‘My Life Would Suck Without You’. Check out that part in the video below at the 2:53 mark:

Afterward, as SNSD received their award, Taeyeon thanked the crowd and the fans in her acceptance speech. However, she also left a short remark, “I hope Music Bank creates an environment for singers to do better.”

Many netizens were angered by this statement by saying things like “I understand that Taeyeon is frustrated but I think it was careless of her to be saying those kinds of things on a live broadcast”, “She should’ve watched her mouth,” “A singer just talked about the stage environment; don’t you think these reactions are a little too sensitive?” “How frustrated must she have been to have gone that far?” “If the earpiece was indeed broken, Taeyeon’s remark shouldn’t become an issue,” etc.

What do you guys think? Is this really a ‘controversial issue’ or just another over-reaction?
