Before the NCT 127 Performance, a bomb threat had been discovered circulating.

On November 4, it was revealed that a letter containing a bomb threat had been discovered circulating online and was directed at the Jakarta performance hall where NCT 127 was performing.

However, the device was not discovered during a detection dog search of the performance hall by the local police, and the show went ahead as scheduled.
