Taeyeon explained her reason to cancel the live performance as reported by Seoul Daily News. She said there was an audio problem for the performance, so she decided to cancel her stage appearance. The 27-year old singer posted an explanation on his Instagram page, but later she removed the post.
However, things become more confusing. There are many speculations regarding the real reason for the cancellation. One of the speculations is that the event organizer MNet did not want the performance to take place, so they persuade her to cancel her joint performance with Wiz.
Another speculation related to the marketing issue. Taeyeon's stage performance with Wiz would not promote her new album, 11:11, so her marketing team decided to cancel the performance and to make her perform solo. Taeyeon did perform on 2016 MAMA on separate stage from Wiz. She sang her first single as solo artist “Rain.”
