On August 10-11, Kpop group IVE (including Gaeul, Yujin, Rei, Wonyoung, Liz, Leeseo) successfully held the last two concerts for their first world tour titled "Show What I Have", at the Olympic Gymnastics Arena (KSPO Dome) in Seoul, South Korea.

After kicking off their world tour last October at Jamsil Indoor Stadium, IVE has held 37 shows in 27 cities in 19 countries, including stops in Japan, Asia, Europe, North America, and South America.

This girl group debuted nearly 3 years ago, but has already reached an important milestone by performing at both KSPO Dome in Seoul (Korea) and Tokyo Dome in Tokyo (Japan) - large stages that many artists dream of.

The concert at the KSPO Dome opened with a bang, with the group performing their hit song “I Am” in all-white outfits. Fans cheered, seemingly oblivious to the sweltering weather.

Jang Won Young expressed, “We have been busy touring overseas for the past 10 months and I really missed our Korean fans. Thank you for coming.”

Known for their energetic performances, IVE opted for a live band, rather than playing the usual recorded soundtrack.

A series of the group's hit songs such as “Eleven", “Accendio”, “Love Dive”, “Kitsch”, “After LIKE”, along with a rock version of “Royal” were performed. There were also solo stages for each member, allowing each person to shine.

Japanese member Rei shared, "I was worried whether we could successfully complete this tour in 10 months traveling around the world. But standing here today, it still feels unreal. Despite the summer heat, the scenery created by DIVE (IVE's fandom) is as beautiful as cherry blossoms in spring.

As the concert was coming to an end, Yujin added, "It's sad to think that the tour is coming to an end. I'm not sure when we'll see each other again, but I love performing and can't wait to see you all again soon.

I will continue to work hard. I am also really grateful to all the staff who have worked so hard with us.”

In Korea, IVE is often called the “child president” because the group has many young fans, especially elementary school students.

But the concert at the KSPO Dome saw a mix of Gen Z fans and Millennials in attendance, creating a lively atmosphere.

Outside the venue, the sight of parents waiting to pick up their children also created a memorable moment.

Before the final shows of the world tour, IVE attracted attention with a performance at Lollapalooza Chicago - a major American music festival.
