However, it sparked major backlash from fans.

Netizens shared confusion about how it was digital and that only half of the concert was being included, as well as the lack of physical content compared to past concert releases and the surprising focus on solo aspects. In particular, they pointed out the high price the release costs compared to what is provided.

Remember when they used to sell the concert package on dvd format, with the full setlist, behind the scenes clips, plus a nice little random photocard and maybe a preorder benefit, all for under 50,000 krw? 🤧

this is the first time ever i don’t think i’ll buy the digital code. one of my fav things about past releases was always the behind-the-scenes/making of. doesn’t sound like much? special “clips”? sound short. interviews w/ “experts”? not the members? also not the full setlist?

My friends, I advise you to look closely at the details for these. There’s no physical media, only a digital code for Weverse, and on top of that this doesn’t include the full show. Half the concert is missing including the IDOL parade and most of the encore set. Very odd.
