The group IVE has set the archipelago ablaze.

IVE (An Yu-jin, Gaeul, Rei, Jang Won-young, Liz, Lee Seo) held their second world tour, "SHOW WHAT I AM," at Tokyo Dome on the 24th. Having shared the stage with approximately 95,000 audience members during the encore of their first world tour at Tokyo Dome, IVE returned to the venue for their second world tour, demonstrating their expanded musical capabilities and proving their presence as a global artist.

Local attention poured in. News of IVE's Tokyo Dome performance simultaneously graced the front pages of Japan's five major sports newspapers: Daily Sports, Sankei Sports, Nikkan Sports, Sports Hochi, and Sports Nippon. As major sports newspapers representing Japan highlighted IVE's second entry into Tokyo Dome with significant coverage, the group's immense topicality and stature became palpable.

Earlier, in April, IVE made their first appearance at Kyocera Dome Osaka, leading to two sell-out shows and the additional opening of restricted-view seats, mobilizing approximately 90,000 audience members over two days. They then returned to the Tokyo Dome stage, completing their journey of connecting Japan's two major domes. In just over two months, they successively gathered tens of thousands of audience members at dome-sized venues.

This Tokyo Dome performance showcased grandeur from the very beginning. Following the opening VCR broadcast on a massive screen, a powerful and heavy live band sound echoed through Tokyo Dome, and IVE gradually revealed their silhouettes. Opening spectacularly with "GOTCHA," IVE instantly overwhelmed the atmosphere of the venue with flawless live vocals and powerful synchronized choreography.

They then relentlessly performed "XOXO," "Baddie," "Ice Queen," "BLACKHOLE," "TKO," "Holy Moly," and "My Satisfaction."

Additionally, solo stages featuring Jang Won-young's "8," Rei's "In Your Heart," Liz's "Unreal," Gaeul's "Odd," Lee Seo's "Super ICY," and An Yu-jin's "Force" captivated the audience, highlighting each member's distinct personality and talent.

Moreover, IVE concluded the performance with explosive energy until the end, featuring "ATTITUDE," the Japanese version of their representative hit "LOVE DIVE," "REBEL HEART," "I AM," and "BANG BANG."

Responding to the audience's fierce calls for an encore, IVE returned to the stage and sang "Wild Bird," drawing even closer to the crowd. They then delivered refreshing yet exhilarating energy with "Fireworks," a track from their second full album, beautifully illuminating the night at Tokyo Dome.

This Tokyo Dome performance demonstrated that IVE has not rested on the label of "complete idols" but has continuously grown on stage. They dominated the long running time with intense performances and steady live vocals, while skillfully guiding the entire concert with graceful stage manners and adept control of pacing.

Returning to Tokyo Dome, the venue of their first world tour's encore, for their second world tour, IVE proved their more solidified musical spectrum and abilities. Just like the tour title "SHOW WHAT I AM," IVE has honestly and confidently demonstrated what it means to be "IVE" on stage.
