GOT The Beat Were Invited To Perform At Coachella — But Didn’t Go For One Unexpected Reason, According To Girls’ Generation’s Hyoyeon
Girls’ Generation‘s Hyoyeon reveals that the SM Entertainment supergroup, GOT The Beat, was actually invited to perform at one of the biggest music events in the world…but had to decline.
GOT The Beat is a group consisting of some of SM Entertainment’s greatest female artists. The members include Hyoyeon, Girls’ Generation’s Taeyeon, BoA, Red Velvet‘s Seulgi and Wendy, and aespa‘s Karina and Winter.
Hyoyeon recently guested on the Cultwo Show, an SBS radio show, where she spilled many interesting tidbits, including about her next solo album.

Given that GOT The Beat’s mini album, Stamp On It, was recently released, Hyoyeon was naturally asked quite a bit about it, and she got hilariously real. As she introduced the group, she almost forgot about the aespa members (looking to Super Junior‘s Yesung for help)…

…and amused fans by seemingly reading out the introduction from a script on her phone.

But one of the most interesting things to come out was her confession that GOT The Beat had actually been invited to perform at none other than Coachella.
I am the only one that knows this but we got an invitation from Coachella…
— Hyoyeon
The invitation came at the time when the group first made its debut with “Step Back,” and, unfortunately, they were forced to decline it. According to Hyoyeon, this was because “at the time, we had only one song, so we couldn’t go.”
Netizens were understandably shocked to hear the news…
HOLD UP. DID HYO JUST SPILL THAT GOT THE BEAT ACTUALLY RECEIVED AN INVITATION FOR COACHELLA BUT THEY COULDN'T GO BECAUSE THEY DON'T HAVE ENOUGH SONGS?

…and many have expressed frustration with SM Entertainment over the fact that GOT The Beat were forced to decline an invitation to such a huge event.
GOT The Beat were invited to perform at Coachella, but they didn't go because they only had 1 song (Step Back) at the time
SM is so unserious.. How do you say no to an opportunity that you are GIVEN that would push your new super group and HELP them and the company grow like??

After all, the fact that the group had only one song at the time did not seem to be a problem on Coachella’s side, as some fans pointed out.
SM's “GOT The Beat only have 1 song so we didnt let them perform at Coachella” is so shit bc
– They were still invited to perform despite them having only 1 song
– They already have existing discographies. HyoTaeBoA scould'be had solos, WenSeul duet, aespa were invited too

Now that the group has released Stamp On It, however, a performance at Coachella can no longer be ruled out! Perhaps fans will get to see them perform there yet.
