According to SM Entertainment, TVXQ will hold their two-day concert, 'TVXQ! SPECIAL LIVE TOUR - T1ST0RY,' this weekend at the Olympic Park in Seoul, as originally planned.�

Furthermore, online ticket distributor Yes24 announced through a notice, "We plan to initiate preventative measures by spraying concertgoers with 100% harmless disinfectant." Additionally, the entire venue, including the stage, seating areas, and changing rooms, will be sterilized with the help of a company that uses nontoxic chemicals.�

Concertgoers were also advised to wear masks at all times, use hand sanitizers as often as possible, and cooperate the best they can with the implementation of the preventative measures.
