The fan club released a joint statement highlighting the fact that Zhang Yixing had been in South Korea for intensive training since November 25, with no personal schedule conflicts. This indicates that SM Entertainment allegedly failed to coordinate the schedule between Yixing's national mission and the fan meeting schedule. This failure of coordination became the main source of the scheduling issues that occurred.

4. Compensation for Tickets Considered Insufficient

Although SM Entertainment offered a full refund for event tickets, this action has faced sharp criticism. The agency is deemed negligent in providing compensation to fans for non-ticket expenses, such as airfare and hotel accommodation, which amount to around 5000 RMB per person. The failure to cover these consumer losses is seen as a disregard for the rights of fans who have made sacrifices.

5. Allegations of Disparities in Promotional Resource Treatment

The issue of disparities in the allocation of promotional resources reinforces the sense of dissatisfaction among fans.
