Production

The word "Note" from the concert name refers to a scent note of a fragrance. The concert was divided into four different sections and for each, the hall was filled with respective scent notes through installed fragrance sprays as he performed songs that matched the scent. The scent notes were floral, woody, aqua, and Onew note which Onew himself created in the hope of making his concert more memorable for fans.^[7]

The concert had a three-sided rotating stage set using an ultra-large turntable with a diameter of seven meters. In addition, an S-shaped curved main LED, color laser, and bubble machine were used during the concert.^[3]
