Fans, dressed in pink according to the dress code, filled the seats and held slogans with messages such as ‘Thank you for inviting us to SU’ and ‘If eternity exists, it would be our story with Suho’. They sang along to ‘Love, Let’s Do It’ and ‘Made In You’, and organized various events such as flashing lights and paper airplane throwing during the encore stage, which moved Suho to tears as he read the messages on the paper airplanes.
