To show their gratitude to their fans, known as MYs, and to the audience, the four-member group from SM Entertainment delivered three remarkable performances, including their hits “Set the Tone”and “Armageddon.”

While these songs energised the crowd, it was their encore performance of “Supernova”that truly amazed spectators.

Karina, Giselle, Winter, and NingNing performed live without backtrack or in-ear monitors, earning immense respect from netizens. Fans were impressed by their ability to sing the track live, notably in a crowded venue where such audio techniques are generally crucial.
