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.

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.
