The K-pop group IVE, consisting of members An Yujin, Gaeul, Rei, Jang Wonyoung, Liz, and Leeseo, is set to perform at Osaka's Kyocera Dome following their successful show at Tokyo Dome.
According to their agency, Starship Entertainment, IVE will hold their second world tour concert, 'SHOW WHAT I AM,' on April 18 and 19 at the Kyocera Dome in Osaka, Japan.
Previously, IVE completed their first world tour, 'SHOW WHAT I HAVE,' with 37 performances across 28 cities in 19 countries, attracting over 420,000 fans. Their encore performance at Tokyo Dome was a major highlight, with tickets selling out immediately and drawing a crowd of 95,000 over two days. The event garnered significant media attention, with local outlets featuring the concert on their front pages and producing special editions focused on the event.
After concluding their first world tour at Tokyo Dome, IVE kicked off their second world tour, 'SHOW WHAT I AM,' with a successful three-day performance at KSPO DOME from October 31 to November 2. The group showcased their strong teamwork and expanded musical capabilities, solidifying their unique identity. The concert featured unreleased solo stages by all members, flawless choreography, and live performances that captivated the audience, truly embodying the tour's theme.
IVE's impressive growth and their upcoming performance at another dome venue are supported by their remarkable achievements in Japan. Since their official debut in Japan in 2022, IVE has demonstrated strong ticket power, performing 11 shows in four cities during their 'IVE SCOUT' IN JAPAN fan concert tour in April, drawing approximately 100,000 attendees. Their third Japanese album, 'Be Alright,' released in July, topped Billboard Japan's 'Top Album Sales,' further cementing the 'IVE Syndrome' globally.
In September, IVE performed at the 'ROCK IN JAPAN FESTIVAL 2025,' one of Japan's top four rock festivals, delivering perfect live performances and receiving enthusiastic responses. They also appeared on major Japanese programs like NHK's 'Venue 101' and TBS's 'Let's Do It with Snow Man SP,' captivating local fans with their diverse charms.
Recently, IVE's song 'After LIKE,' released in August 2022, surpassed 200 million streams on Billboard Japan's chart, reaffirming their strong popularity in Japan. This marks their third song to achieve over 200 million streams, following their debut track 'ELEVEN' and second single 'LOVE DIVE,' showcasing their global music power. Anticipation is high for IVE's solo performance at Osaka's Kyocera Dome.
