IVE Kicks Off Second World Tour "SHOW WHAT I AM" in Seoul
K-pop powerhouse IVE begins their highly anticipated global tour with three consecutive shows at KSPO DOME
Seoul, South Korea - Global K-pop sensation IVE is set to launch their second world tour, "SHOW WHAT I AM," with a three-night run at Seoul's KSPO DOME (formerly Olympic Gymnastics Arena) from October 31 through November 2, 2025.
According to Starship Entertainment, the six-member group-comprising An Yujin, Gaeul, Rei, Jang Wonyoung, Liz, and Leeseo-will showcase an upgraded performance experience following the immense success of their first world tour. Their 2023 "SHOW WHAT I HAVE" tour reached approximately 420,000 fans across 19 countries spanning Asia, North America, Europe, and Latin America.
A Year of Chart Domination
IVE has dominated the Korean music scene throughout 2025 with a string of consecutive hits. The group kicked off the year with "REBEL HEART," which achieved a Perfect All-Kill (PAK) on all major Korean music charts in early February-their fifth career PAK following previous hits "After LIKE" (2022), "Kitsch," "I AM," and "Baddie" (all in 2023). The track earned an impressive 11 music show wins and was later recognized by Billboard as one of the "25 Best K-Pop Songs of 2025."
This success continued with "ATTITUDE" (4 wins) and "XOXZ" (5 wins) from their subsequent album releases. In total, IVE has collected 20 music broadcast trophies this year alone, cementing their status as one of K-pop's most dominant acts.
Proving Their Festival Prowess
The tour comes on the heels of IVE's remarkable festival season, where they solidified their reputation as premier live performers. Following their breakthrough performance at Lollapalooza Chicago in 2024, which earned praise from Rolling Stone and Billboard, IVE made history in 2025 by becoming the first K-pop girl group to perform at Lollapalooza three times.
At Lollapalooza Berlin on July 12, 2025, IVE delivered a stunning 55-minute set that included a memorable moment when tens of thousands of German fans sang along in Korean to their hit "After LIKE." The performance showcased their explosive energy and flawless live vocals backed by a full band. They followed this with another powerful showing at Lollapalooza Paris on July 20, where they handled a mid-performance technical issue with professionalism, restarting the affected song to deliver a complete performance for fans.
The group also performed at the ROCK IN JAPAN FESTIVAL 2025, further expanding their global festival presence and demonstrating their ability to captivate diverse international audiences.
What to Expect from "SHOW WHAT I AM"
The new world tour promises several exciting highlights:
Enhanced Setlist: IVE will perform songs from their 2025 releases, including tracks from their third mini-album "IVE EMPATHY" (released in February) and fourth mini-album "IVE SECRET" (released in August). Fans can expect never-before-performed B-side tracks alongside the group's catalog of mega-hits.
Individual Solo Stages: Each of the six members will unveil exclusive solo performances optimized for their unique vocal colors, performance styles, and artistic personas. These individual stages will showcase the distinct charms and talents of Yujin, Gaeul, Rei, Wonyoung, Liz, and Leeseo-performances that can only be experienced at the "SHOW WHAT I AM" tour.
Live Band Accompaniment: Building on their acclaimed festival performances, the tour will feature grand orchestral arrangements with a live band, adding depth and intensity to their already powerful stage presence.
Global Livestream: The final Seoul show on November 2 will be simultaneously livestreamed worldwide through Beyond LIVE, allowing international DIVEs (IVE's official fandom) to join the experience online.
