SNSD's agency SM Entertainment said on the 20th, "SNSD performed a solo concert in Taiwan and they performed over 30 songs, they were performing it live and of course due to the intense choreography on some songs, the other members may not have sung very properly, but they danced and took the stage to entertain the fans in Taiwan and worked hard."

The official continued, "The taiwanese fans of SNSD at the concert showed a lot of enthusiasm during the performances, it was SNSD's first concert in the country and they were very passionate during their performances, it seems a bit unfair that they are being accuse of lip syncing during the concert."

It was said that during the performances, the members would sing and the song would continue but there would be times where the song comes but some member's mouth's would not be in sync with the music."

Meanwhile, SNSD had their "1ST ASIAN TOUR CONCERT: Into the new world" in Taiwan last 16th and 17th of October and had over 24,000 fans in attendance.

[News] SNSD criticized for lip syncing during Taiwanese concert

With SNSD busily promoting in both Korea and Japan, their recent performance in Taiwan has been put on the chopping block of a Taiwanese entertainment broadcast for lip syncing.

Taiwanese entertainment channel 综艺娱乐频道 reported, “On October 17th, SNSD held their second overseas concert in Taiwan and filled the concert hall with thousands of fans. The excitement was amazing.”

However, the channel went on to report, “Unfortunately, when the cameras would get a close up on the members’ faces as they were performing one of their hit tracks, the music would continue without the members even putting the mics against their faces.”

The host had already asked for understanding in advance, reasoning that it was difficult for celebrities to dance and sing at the same time.

Representatives of SM Entertainment also expressed their disappointment with SNSD being swept in controversy for lip syncing at their Taiwanese concert.

SME stated in a call with Newsen on October 20th, “They sang over 30 songs at the concert and the overall completion level of the concert was extremely high. The audience enjoyed the concert immensely, and so we’re very disappointed in having such a controversy come about.”

Although some Taiwanese supported the girls by leaving comments such as, “It does not seem like they were lip syncing,” others commented, “It’s such a waste of money. Why would you attend the concert then? Might as well just listen to the CD.

SNSD’s Taiwanese concert managed to garner 24,000 fans, the best record any foreign female artist has achieved thus far.
