SNSD delay throws other artistes' schedules

7 Oct – Earlier, it was reported that South Korea's darlings SNSD has delayed their comeback album for simultaneous US release. Not only it upset fans, it's also made comeback plans of other artistes went awry.

According to allkpop website, a lot of singers and idol groups had planned their comeback dates to avoid being overshadowed by SNSD, but with SNSD's delayed schedule, all the other stars are readjusting their schedules.

A representative of one artist who was originally scheduled to make a comeback at the end of this month said, "With SNSD suddenly delaying their comeback, we're all worried whether it will overlap with ours. It's more beneficial for us on the digital charts, and gives us the chance to make headlines if there was a two week gap between their comeback and ours. It seems we'll just have to set another date."

Meanwhile, another representative added, "SNSD has made a lot of achievements overseas, and since it's their first Korean comeback in a while, they will surely gain a lot of headlines. We're trying to set a comeback date away from theirs, so we're all keeping our ears open for a final date."

The new date of SNSD comeback however is rumoured to be in the third week of October, but SM Entertainment has yet to confirm.
