Are SM Intentionally Sabotaging Taeyeon? (2 Viewers)

[Darkyoda47]

The MV will be released on Friday
The song will be released on SUNDAY. Let me repeat that. S U N D A Y.
What's going on?
Not to mention, the comeback is just a single, not even an album.
Are SM fucking with Taeyeon because she's refusing to resign or something?

what the hell is going on with sm

 

[RandAlThor]

Full week.
Doesn't the charting week start on Sunday?

Red Flavor was a Sunday drop too if i remember correctly.
yep it was released digitally on July 9, 2017 and physically on July 10. After them doing it live a few days before at smtown.

It's such a weird choice to do it like that, I don't understand SM.. It seems like the best to release them at the same time too..

I'm hoping we'll get the full length a little later this year and this is more of a "gift to fans" single of some sort. But yeah I was very surprised and disappointed when I saw that it wasn't even a mini.... Everyone was sure we would get her 2nd album but nope.

Let's just hope for the best though. At least we get something from the queen

Are you sure? Releasing on the weekend is very very weird. The charts are lower on the weekend, which means not a lot of people will check out the song.
And no it starts on Monday.

Idk but they better treat her well like she deserves <.< and she should’ve got a full album but two is better than none c: and if the songs are good, even better <3 I just hope she’s happy

I don't see the issue?

Yea wiki has it "was released digitally on July 9, 2017 and physically on July 10 "

Basically SM has been super weird with the gg for some time.
Something new was also really strange.

What would be Extra strange is if its a station song which is currently SM's only method for Digital only releases that i know of.

 

[Bopper]

SM’s timetable lately is a mess, so its not surprising Taeyeon is also affected.

 

[feepit]

I'm honestly just glad that we're getting something although I'm pissed that it's not an album.

Taeyeon is not even promoting this single, right?
This whole promotion tactic reminds me of Holiday which is why I think there might be chance we'll hear news of Taeyeon leaving SM soon.

Releasing on a Sunday is the issue lol.

But why?

she did not promote Something New either. Promoting that would have got another 30- 40k sales ez.
Maybe she hates promoting now?
Does not seem like her, because she is so good with junior artists.

 

[RandAlThor]

But why?

unique listeners lowest day is Sunday, Therefore worst day to release historically.
Not as crazy as say releasing Avengers End Game on Sunday but still weird.

 

[Darkyoda47]

But why?

Because the charts fall on the weekend. Okay when this weekend comes compare Friday's ULs to Sunday's ULs. You'll see quite a big drop. Sunday, for who knows what reason, is when people least listen to music lol. Well, at least on Melon.

Well I mean Taeyeon is lazy
But hating to promote? I highly doubt it. This has SM written all over it.

 

[Elliah]

Came to think of it... Taeyeon hasn't promoted on music shows since Fine in March 2017....
Make Me Love You, This Christmas, Something New..... none were promoted

I'm assuming it is her choice but it's kind of sad she doesn't promote. I hope she wants to promote again. I don't think it will be with this though since it's a digital single album, but one can hope
