IVE has taken over Japan's five major sports dailies.

IVE, the 'MZ wannabe icon' (IVE : An Yujin, Gaeul, Rei, Jang Wonyoung, Liz, Leeseo), drew intense attention from major local media with their second entry into the Tokyo Dome.

According to their agency Starship Entertainment, as IVE prepares to hold their second world tour, "SHOW WHAT I AM," at Tokyo Dome today (the 24th), the five major Japanese sports dailies (Daily Sports, Sankei Sports, Nikkan Sports, Sports Hochi, Sports Nippon) put news of IVE's Tokyo Dome concert on their front pages, further fueling the excitement. Through interviews with the members, each outlet highlighted their pre-show excitement and determination, as well as the special meaning of the Tokyo Dome stage, further heightening local fans' anticipation.

Outlets highlighted members' comments as headlines, such as "It is truly an honor to be able to perform at Tokyo Dome again" and "We want to show an even more grown version of ourselves," underscoring the strong interest in IVE's return to Tokyo Dome. In interviews, the members added, "The Tokyo Dome stage is a truly special place. We want to take the stage doing our very best, without forgetting our gratitude," recalling the emotion of their first Tokyo Dome show, and they openly expressed their deep affection for fans by saying, "We want to make happy memories with DIVE (the official fan club name)."

IVE's Tokyo Dome concert this time comes about one year and nine months after the September 2024 encore show of their first world tour, 'SHOW WHAT I HAVE.' Returning to Tokyo Dome, they are expected to captivate the audience with an even tighter set list and live performance, showcasing the six members' individuality and the group's signature energy. In particular, they plan to prove their capabilities as a 'performance-oriented artist' through more advanced performance skills and stage command.

With the enthusiasm reaching a peak, heating up not only local fans but also major media, IVE will leave another meaningful mark in Japan through today's Tokyo Dome concert. As they continue the 'IVE syndrome' by showing remarkable growth and presence with every stage, expectations are even higher for their performance at this show.

Meanwhile, after finishing the Tokyo Dome concert, IVE will carry the momentum of their world tour to North America in July and August.
