Not wanting to miss this opportunity to the showcase, fans started queuing outside IMM on Friday night and waited until 9am on Saturday to purchase SHINee's album which comes along with the showcase ticket. 3000 copies of albums that are worth $65* each were sold out on Saturday. After attending the "Singapore Entertainment Awards" celebration party on the previous night, fans rushed down to IMM and queued overnight for the second time in order to get to the front row to get closer to their idols.

Fans waited for a long time and although it started to rain heavily before SHINee arrive, they were still very enthusiastic throughout the whole showcase. Under the screams of all the fans, SHINee finally made their appearance with the help of umbrellas held by the staff. Everyone of them were thankful to the fans who waited under the heavy rain. Leader Onew also mentioned that they were all very happy to receive the Asia New Generation Award in Singapore.

SHINee performed 3 songs in total, 'Noona is Pretty', 'Jojo' and 'Ring Ding Dong' . All the fans enjoyed their performance and the atmosphere was very overwhelming.

Fans also specially sang a birthday song in korean for Jonghyun whose birthday falls on 8th of April. At first SHINee were confused when they heard the birthday song but after clarifying, the birthday boy then began smiling.

The showcase ended after 30 minutes, SHINee then rushed back to the hotel they are staying in to visit a disabled Korean fan who is permanently living here in Singapore. According to news, the Korean fan likes Minho the most among the members, she appeared to be very shy in front of her idols and is very thankful to SHINee for visiting her.
