On the afternoon of November 23, about 100 media representatives streamed into the conference room at The Ritz-Carlton, Millenia Singapore to attend the SMTOWN Live World Tour III Press Conference. Those in attendance were not only media from Singapore but also countries like Malaysia, Indonesia and the Philippines.

Representatives from each of the SM groups attended the Press Conference. The artists who attended were Kangta , BoA, TVXQ (Yunho and Changmin), Super Junior
(Donghae), Girls' Generation (Seohyun), SHINee (Onew), f(x) (Victoria) and EXO (K: Suho & M: Kris).

Everyone was mostly dressed in accordance to the classic black and white outfit theme, except for f(x) Victoria who stood out in her one-piece red dress.

After introducing themselves it was time for questions. The emcee started off by asking Kangta how it felt to be holding his first SMTOWN concert in Singapore, and replied he was really looking forward to it and that it been a long time since he was last in the country, but its still really beautiful. He also wished that the fans would be able to enjoy a great performance through SM town.

And then the second question was posted to the ever-so-charming Yunho of TVXQ. How does it feel to be performing at the "Marina Bay Floating Platform" where normally many large scale events like the Singapore National Day Parade and the Youth Olympic Games take place. Yunho replied honestly that, this is the first time he has performed on water. He thought that the view is really beautiful and was certain that the evening view would be even better.

BoA expressed her happiness to see her fans once again since her last visit to Singapore back in 2003 for the Asian music awards.

Victoria felt that the SMTOWN concert is a very interesting experience because hoobaes and sunbaes who meet each other backstage actually use this chance to catch up with each other and cheer each other on. Donghae also said that there was once a time when they had a drink with Yunho and he was feeling a little tipsy and started to do a move which was really fantastic, which he would like to show everyone one day.

After hearing that fans were queuing 7 days before the concert, Seohyun expressed that she was really thankful for the support, but at the same time also very worried that the fans would fall sick, and that they would perform their very best for the fans

The press conference closed with Yunho's last words that, the most important part of the SMTown concert would be the audience, the fans!
