'MZ wannabe icon' IVE (IVE: Ahn Yujin·Gaeul·Ray·Jang Wonyoung·Reeze·Leeseo) left 'SHOW WHAT I AM' across North America.
IVE held the second world tour 'SHOW WHAT I AM' at Rogers Arena in Vancouver, Canada, on the 9th (local time) and delivered a dazzling finale to its North American performances. Performing solo in Vancouver for the first time, IVE wrapped up its North American journey by drawing powerful live vocals and performances and eliciting loud singalongs from local fans.
This North American tour showed IVE's growth in both the number of cities and its range of activity. After visiting six North American cities on their first world tour in 2024, 'SHOW WHAT I HAVE,' IVE expanded the schedule to eight cities on the second tour. They notably added three Canadian cities — Toronto, Montreal and Vancouver — and held all shows at arena-level venues, proving their increased global influence.
Starting the North American tour in Toronto on the 21st of last month, IVE visited Montreal, Newark, Austin, Los Angeles, Oakland and Seattle before arriving in Vancouver. They showcased an even broader musical spectrum with overwhelming live vocals and performances across major North American venues, including the Kia Forum in Los Angeles, which they returned to after two years.
IVE completed the final night of the North American tour by performing 27 songs nonstop, from a powerful opening and distinctive solo stages to a parade of hits and an encore. While dominating the stage with solid live vocals and precise choreography, they also introduced songs in English and drew responses, narrowing the distance with local fans.
Through their agency Starship Entertainment, IVE said, "We were truly happy to become one through dives and music. Even in cities we visited for the first time, the loud cheers and singalongs warmly welcomed us, giving us great strength at every show. When we meet again, we will repay you with even better music and performances," and added, "We will do our best to prepare so we can show great stages for the remaining world tour dates. Please look forward to and support us until the end."
