Taeyeon delights 20,000 in Macao show
Taeyeon hosted her first solo standalone show in Macao over the weekend which drew about 20,000 in the audience, said label SM Entertainment on Monday.
Under the title, 'The Tense in Asia,' she welcomed her fans with a medley of hit songs that spanned across genres.
Before closing the show, the songstress thanked the audience for letting her come to the city and filling up the venue, vowing to cherish the memory.
She will carry on with the tour in Singapore this coming weekend. The tour is her sixth as a solo singer and marks the tenth anniversary of her solo debut. It began in Seoul in March and will also take her to Bangkok and Hong Kong in May and June.
A two-day concert in Tokyo slated to be held earlier this month was canceled abruptly due to a logistical issue, and she shared on her personal Instagram account her global fan alliance's April 24 demand for an apology and compensation plans from her label, SM Entertainment.

Hybe to sell entire stake in SM Entertainment to China's Tencent
K-pop powerhouse Hybe said Tuesday it will sell its entire stake in rival SM Entertainment to China's Tencent for 200 billion won ($145.5 million). In a regulatory filing, Hybe said it will dispose of 2,212,237 shares of SM Entertainment, which represents a 9.38 percent stake in the company. The shares will be sold at 110,000 won each, totaling about 243.3 billion won for the full transaction. The sale is scheduled to be completed Friday after the market closes through an after-hours block trade. Hybe acquired the stake in 2023 during a high-profile battle to take over SM Entertainment's management rights. "We divested non-core assets as part of a choice and concentration strategy," the company said. "Secured funds will be used to secure future growth engines," it added. (Yonhap)
