IVE Wraps Up Successful Japan Fan-Con Tour with 100,000 Fans
K-pop sensation IVE has successfully concluded their Japan fan-concert tour ‘IVE SCOUT’ IN JAPAN, captivating nearly 100,000 fans across four major cities. The tour commenced in mid-April and wrapped up with a final performance at Yokohama’s K-Arena on April 30.
Beginning in Nagoya, the hometown of member REI, and continuing through Fukuoka, Kobe, and Yokohama, the group held a total of 11 shows across the nation. This marks IVE’s second large-scale fan engagement in Japan following their debut fan-con ‘The Prom Queens’, which gathered over 57,000 fans.
Throughout the tour, IVE unveiled several first-time performances of tracks from their third mini-album IVE EMPATHY — including the pre-release single REBEL HEART, the title track ATTITUDE, and fan-favorite B-sides TKO and THANK U. Of particular note, member GAEUL contributed directly to the choreography for “TKO,” showcasing her artistic involvement.
IVE thrilled the audience with a compilation of their iconic hits such as their Japanese debut song ELEVEN (Japanese Version), I Am, Kitsch, Love Dive, and After Like. The group also presented original Japanese songs and unique unit stages created to highlight each member’s individual charm.
Special fan service segments like “DIVE MISSION: Move it, Do it!” gave fans a personalized experience as members participated in challenges submitted by fans, ranging from trending dances to vocal showcases. Their thoughtful efforts, including personal handwritten Japanese messages, further deepened their connection with local fans.
Through their agency STARSHIP Entertainment, the group shared their heartfelt thoughts: “Meeting our DIVE fans throughout Japan filled us with joy. Seeing your support gave us even more strength. We are truly grateful and promise to return with even better performances. We love you, DIVE!”
Meanwhile, IVE plans to launch Season 6 of their reality web-series ‘1.2.3 IVE’ on their official YouTube channel starting May 9, airing every Friday at 7:30 PM (KST).
