The hidden behind-the-scenes story of IVE's headliner stage at 'Lollapalooza Berlin', known as the 'MZ wannabe icon', will be unveiled in the final broadcast of season 1 of 'Crazy Rich Korean'.
On the 17th, 'Crazy Rich Korean', airing on KBS2, will vividly depict the breathless journey of IVE members Gaeul, Rei, Liz, and Leeseo as they head to the stage of the world's four major music festivals, 'Lollapalooza Berlin'.
Having achieved the fastest wins in music shows and awards for best new artist, and selected as one of Forbes' '30 Under 30 Asia', IVE has been invited to 'Lollapalooza' for two consecutive years and this year will take the stage as the headliner for the main stage finale.
Immediately after a 20-hour long-haul flight, IVE dives into rehearsal without any adjustment to the time difference. They showcase their 'pro' side by synchronizing the rearranged sound and modified choreography with the band and dance team as if in a real performance. Even facing an unexpected issue with a 'protruding stage' the day before the show, leader Yujin calmly leads the team, demonstrating crisis management leadership, while all members familiarize themselves with the new choreography in thorough preparation.
A different scene unfolds at the MC's desk as the MCs directly learn the choreography for 'LOVE DIVE' from IVE members, while a self-proclaimed 'IVE superfan', Gwaktube, showcases a hit song dance medley, proving his fan spirit.
On the day of the performance, IVE, who did not stop their practice even amid heavy rain and strong winds, leads the global cheering, showcasing a moment where 50,000 spectators unite as one. Liz's hair loss issue during the rain and the 1,319-day journey from debut to 'Lollapalooza' culminate in IVE's finale stage, and the hot energy from the scene will be fully captured in the broadcast.
'Crazy Rich Korean' is a documentary variety that highlights the 'real rich life' created through immersion in one's work, teamwork, and interpersonal connections, rather than glamorous achievements. The final episode will convey the messages of 'crazy passion, love, effort, and dreams' that permeate IVE's journey on the global stage and will conclude the season.
In particular, this broadcast will not just show behind-the-scenes of the performance, but also the process of creating the best stage amid variables and pressures, revealing the teamwork and professionalism involved. Expectations are rising among viewers on how this intense narrative will expand in season 2 as they turn the final page together.
Meanwhile, the final episode of 'Crazy Rich Korean', featuring IVE, will air on the 17th at 9:20 p.m. on KBS2.
