Prioritizing Stage Safety: Concerns Over Pyrotechnic Height and Heat

To prevent potential accidents, he was seen discussing safety measures, such as adjusting his movements or controlling the effects when performing on the protruding stage.

Throughout the rehearsal process, Wonho demonstrated a meticulous approach to his stage presence and safety. He noted that the height of the flames could pose a risk, leading to discussions on how to ensure safety while stepping out onto the stage protrusion.

"I Must Capture Their Attention with My Energy": Ambitions for the Waterbomb Crowd

He also mentioned plans to manage his schedule efficiently to prepare for the following day's activities.

During the preparation period, Wonho showed a more relaxed side, sharing glimpses of his daily life at the hotel. The video includes scenes of him resting and enjoying food and fruit. His dedication to managing his physical condition to stay focused for the performance was also evident through his recorded conversations.
