On April 17th, SNSD was met with an unfortunate accident involving a male audience member who trespassed onto their stage at the "Angel Price Music Festival" at the Lotte World ice rink. Towards the end of their performance of "Run Devil Run", a male audience member intruded on their stage from the back and attempted to pull Taeyeon away by grabbing her wrist. The other SNSD members were caught off-guard, but Sunny reacted quickest and tried to stop him but could not do so. The show's host, comedian Oh Jung Tae managed to stop the man, and security staff intervened thereafter by apprehending the man and preventing any further accidents from occurring. Audience members reportedly looked on with shock, and were further impressed with Taeyeon's professional attitude in returning and performing until the end. A representative of SM Entertainment stated after the incident, "During the latter part of the event, there was an unexpected accident. Taeyeon, however, handled the matter bravely, and security staff prevented the situation from becoming more severe. At first, the audience and concert representatives all thought that a staff member was going on stage. After the concert, SNSD returned back to their dorms and are currently resting. We're glad that the incident did not escalate into something more severe." With footage and pictures of the incident spreading on the internet, netizens have been posting messages of protest against representatives of the concert.
