On MBC's "Radio Star," SNSD Tiffany showed off her sassy side when she sniped at SM Entertainment for asking her to pay for parking fee and coffee after leaving the company.
In a recent episode of the entertainment show aired on May 15, Tiffany Young, a member of the "Nation's Girl Group" SNSD shared various anecdotes about her former agency, SM Entertainment.
In particular, the female star expressed her frustration with the company & sympathized with the saying:
"It's hard to say that SM Entertainment is cold, but they don't pay as much attention to Girls' Generation as they did in their prime."
Tiffany said:
"I left SM Entertainment after celebrating our 10th debut anniversary but went back to work for a while because of Girls' Generation's 15th anniversary project.
But the parking lot was different & changed a lot in the new building that I didn't know. On the first day of work, they told me to take out my pass. They asked me, 'How did you get here?' I said, ‘I’m here for Girls’ Generation’s rehearsal,’ and he took one look at me and said, ‘Can you give me your ID?’ He asked me to wait next to him, and I thought 'Okay, it was very unfamiliar.' Also, the new building in Seongsu-dong costs a lot of parking fees."
The star continued to criticize SM, saying:
"I was at SM Entertainment for 13 years, but when I asked for a cup of Americano at the company cafe, they said, 'It's 4,500 won.'
Just then, Sunny came and told me to order it under her name, so I drank it under her name. I was like, 'This building was bought because of me/us!"
Previously Super Junior members who left SM Entertainment also complained about the label asking them to pay for parking fees.
One of them was Kyuhyun, who moved to Antenna after contract expiration with SM. In a broadcast with JTBC's "Knowing Bros," he revealed:
"After moving to Antenna, I went to my former agency SM Entertainment to practice as Super Junior. But they told me to pay the parking fee separately. Still, I'm Super Junior."
Later on, Kyuhyun explained the situation and clarified that it was just a misunderstanding, saying:
"I thought it was too much, but it turned out that SM Entertainment also rents in that building, and all their employees pay parking fees. I thought I had made a big mistake. I apologize from the bottom of my heart. I thought it was just me and I got teary-eyed while saying this, but it was a misunderstanding on my part."
Meanwhile, Tiffany Young played the role of Rachel Jung in the OTT Disney+ original series "Uncle Samsik," which premiered on the 15th.
