The concert was NU'EST's first offline concert in over two years following "Segno in Seoul" due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, with the pandemic causing numerous events and concerts to be cancelled.

And now that the pandemic is easing up, more and more K-Pop groups and solo artists are returning to full-blown concerts. Despite that, NU'EST held their concert safely and under strict quarantine guidelines.

According to reports, NU'EST fans in attendance had calmly watched the concert with their lightsticks. And instead of shouting fan chants in-between songs, they would use "clappers" instead of as a substitute.

Prior to the start of the concert, NU'EST had produced and distributed a placard which was sturdy and loud enough to be used as a paper clapper. NU'EST noted that thanks to the clapper, they were able to know the response of the audience, and that were was no difficulty in communicating with them at all.
