Although Kim Heechul and Choi Siwon were unable to participate in the concert this time, but the appearance of SJ-M members Henry and Zhou Mi, who are both active in the Chinese music industry, brought several highlights to the stage. The SJ members expressed that: "Although Siwon and Heechul could not make it, but we will work even harder in their stead." SJ, who has a large number of members, also brought a variety of performances through SJ-M and SJ-K.R.Y. The R&B version of Sorry, Sorry-Answer sung by Kyuhyun, Ryeowook and Yesung, and also the joint stage between Henry, Zhou Mi, Minho, Key and Onew also created an amazing atmosphere at the venue.
The fans, who were wearing masks with the SJ members' images on them, sang along to the Korean lyrics and shouted fanchants at the same time. They could even mimic the entire song and choreography of SJ's new song Mr. Simple, which was just recently released in Japan on the 2nd (of September), causing people to be awed by SJ's sky high popularity. Aside from that, Leeteuk and Shindong also showed off their humorous sides on stage; after their performance, Leeteuk greeted the fans while stealing looks at the Japanese phrases written on his hand, his look of concentration causing everyone to laugh uncontrollably.
During the press conference after the concert had ended, Leeteuk expressed that: "3 years ago I hoped to age faster, but right now I'm hoping that the time could stop at this particular moment. I feel very blessed living like this every day, so I really hope that time could stop. During Super Show which only has SJ's members standing on the stage, it's very exciting and interesting, but in SMTOWN Live, there are people from all walks of life and various nationalities who could enjoy the concert together. We will also hold the Super Show concert in Osaka on the 10th and 11th of December." Later on, he added that: "I'm planning to enlist next year, and before this happens I wish to be able to stand in Tokyo Dome (again). The fans liked Kangta's rendition of his self-composed song "Light"* a lot, and the passionate fans allowed me to feel the blessings from within".
According to reports, the number of fans who came for the concert had broken the attendance records amongst the Asian artists, hitting 150,000 audiences in the span of 3 days, and it holds great significance for SME. The concert, which was initially planned to be held over two days, had an extra session added in the end. There were more than 600,000 people who wanted to purchase the tickets, and the tickets were completely sold out. There were also more than 800 media personnel who reported about the situation of the concert, allowing people to experience the explosive popularity of the Hallyu wave once again.
Aside from that, the SMTOWN World Tour will be opening at New York, USA on the 23rd of October.
