“… From the beginning, it was informed that fans should not remain on the first floor, but they refused to leave, so SM Entertainment has decided to cancel the press conference.”
It seems the main reason for the cancellation was due to some fans refusing to leave the first floor even after the numerous warnings from the event officials. The fans were notified the first floor was only for press and official relating to the event, but the crowd refused to move to the 2nd or 3rd floor.
Llegamos y nos ubicamos en el 1° piso. De @Noi_X nos pidieron usar el 2° y el 3° porque el 1° era exclusivo para prensa por órdenes de la SM. Si había gente ahí, no habría conferencia.
Esto pasa cuando uno es civilizada y sale perdiendo porque cree en el sentido común ajeno… pic.twitter.com/qiKPQ3XkPf— Rose goes to #SMTownInChile 🇨🇱 (@LadyJasonette) January 17, 2019

people weren’t supposed to be on the first floor for safety measures and they were told in various occasions yet they didn’t pay attention, so sm had to cancel everything
I was so close to attend the event but it was too late
I feel bad for the idols, they wanted to do it :(((— #PreciousChaeyeonDay (@weloved_izone) January 18, 2019
So, sm had to cancel the press conf bc some fans were misbehaving. They refused to go to the other floors even though they told them an hour before. Sooo because of those fans SM decided to cancel it. So sad for the ppl who did behave 😭😭😭 https://t.co/4YCPzthXCE

Some fans pointed out the officials behind the event should’ve made more efforts to secure the venue since they knew it was a popular mall with so many different access points.
