Girl group that was criticized as a disaster makes surprise appearance at Lollapalooza

Yonhap News reported that K-pop girl group IVE (comprising Yujin, Liz, Jang Won Young, Leeseo, Gaeul, Rei) performed on stage at one of the American music festivals “Lollapalooza Chicago,” held at Grant Park, Chicago, Illinois, on August 3 (local time).

This is IVE's first appearance at Lollapalooza, and also their first time on an international music festival stage.

The group opened with their hit song "I Am" and then performed 11 songs in about 45 minutes, including many of the group's other hits such as "Baddie", "Eleven", "Love Dive", “After Like", “Heya"...

Notably, IVE teamed up with the show's live band to perform rock versions of the songs “Royal” and “Accendio,” showcasing the group's unique appeal and ability to rock the stage.

The members performed confidently, dominating the stage with bright smiles. In particular, the group's live singing ability received a lot of compliments.

The reason the group's live performance at Lollapalooza created a good effect was because before that, IVE was a Kpop girl group that was heavily criticized for having many members who sang disastrous live and lip-synced, especially members Jang Won Young, Leeseo, and Gaeul.

But over the past year, the group's live singing ability has improved significantly with each comeback. Jang Won Young's voice on the Lollapalooza stage even caused a stir.

A post on online community theqoo about Won Young's performance received 53,000 reads and over 400 complimentary comments.

After the show, member Yujin shared through her agency, "We went on stage with the intention of showing everything that the members, band, and dance team had prepared together.

Dive (IVE's fandom) and the audience present welcomed us very warmly. So we were able to perform successfully.

It was a great experience. I will repay you with a good performance at the next concert."

IVE will hold the final concert of the world tour "Show What I Have" at KSPO Dome, Seoul (Korea) on August 10-11.

Next, the group will appear at the music festival “Summer Sonic 2024” held in Osaka (Japan) on August 17 and in Tokyo (Japan) on August 18.
