Imitate DBSK, SS501 challenge HongKou and also used extended stage

This is not the first time SS501 is holding their concert in Shanghai, also they are closed friends with DBSK, therefore this time their Shanghai HongKou Football Stadium's concert will also imitate the stage of DBSK who had held their concert in HongKou around 1 month ago. Extending the stage to form a T-shape, this will shorten the distance between fans and the artist. 'Korean fans' are very supportive of this and currently seats which are closer to the T stage were almost sold out. Some fans even tried to analyse the position of which their favourite members like to stand before finalizing their seating location. From this we can see the 'professionalism' of the fans.

For safety, bodyguard are deployed, Kim Hyun Joong appeal for fans to save their energy for concert

Previously when DBSK, ShinHwa, Rain and other Korean star arrived in Shanghai, none was not surrounded by crowds of fans chasing after them and thus causing the airport and many places to be very chaotic and out of controlled. For their Shanghai concert this time, SS501 leader Kim Hyun Joong expressed that he hope all fans should be more rational and put in all their energy and passion in the concert, in order to create the best effect concert together with 5 of them. However if fans definitely wanted to welcome them in the airport, he hope they will obey the rules of the airport and try not to affect other travellers. He believes SS501 fans are of high qualities.

Even so, their Korean management company will still deploy one professional bodyguard for each member, and requested the Shanghai organizer to employed another 20 securities to protect them 24-hour per day, this approach not only ensure the safety of the 5 members, but also to fully protect SS501's fans.

Same like many idol groups who have close relationship like brothers, the 5 members of SS501 has requested to use at least a 9 seater (or bigger) vehicle to transport them around. All 5 of them wanted to be transport around in the same vehicle. Because of this, they don't even mind the brand or standard of the vehicle. For the entire trip, they have not list down any difficult reception requests. During the rehearsal and concert day, other than preparing their 3 meals, they have also requested additional staple food like sandwich, cake, chocolate and sweets.
