The concert was approved for 15,000 people per session, which makes a total of 45,000 people, becoming the largest size since the COVID-19 outbreak.
However, the group’s agency and fans are concerned due to the rapid spread of COVID-19 recently.

The agency plans to arrange 5%(about 750 people) of personnel for quarantine management in each concert to thoroughly perform temperature check, make sure that people wear masks, and have them exit the concert by district after the performance to reduce the population density.
Member V said through the fan community platform “Weverse,” "Guys it’s really cold outside. Please wear your padded jackets. Put your gloves on. Bring a hand warmer. Just do everything that makes you warm.”
