In each case, venues were filled to their 50% capacity limits. Thousands more fans, many from overseas and oblivious to the lack of foreign-language translations, followed a livecast on Naver Now.

The session wrapped with a further round of photo-taking, Song posing, and fond farewells between stars and the adoring crowds.
