IVE successfully finished their fan concert tour in Japan, performing in four cities over eleven shows. The Japan tour attracted 100,000 fans and featured new songs, personal choreography, and emotional fan interactions. This tour further proved that IVE continues to expand their global impact through music, energy, and connection.
IVE Completes Successful Japan Fan Tour
IVE launched their Japan fan concert tour, IVE SCOUT IN JAPAN, with excitement and enthusiasm from both members and fans. The journey started on March 12 in Nagoya, the hometown of Rei, and continued through Fukuoka, Kobe, and Yokohama. Each city hosted multiple shows, with a total of 11 performances held over three weeks. The final concert took place on March 30 at the massive K-Arena Yokohama, closing the tour with a packed audience and emotional energy. At every stop, IVE delivered powerful stages while building warm, direct connections with their growing Japanese fanbase.
Doubling Their Audience, Doubling Their Impact
This tour drew more than 100,000 fans, nearly doubling the turnout from their previous Japan fan event The Prom Queens, which had 57,000 attendees. The explosive attendance showcased not only their popularity in Japan, but also their expanding influence in the global K-pop scene. IVE’s growing presence shows clear signs of long-term global reach, especially within the competitive landscape of fourth-generation idol groups. The group’s ability to attract large crowds and sustain momentum reflects their strong connection with international audiences.
Fresh tracks and choreography power IVE tour across Japan
As part of the tour, IVE performed several new tracks from their third mini-album IVE EMPATHY for the very first time in Japan. The group presented ‘REBEL HEART‘ and ‘ATTITUDE’, along with B-side songs ‘TKO‘ and ‘THANK U’, adding freshness to the setlist. Member Gaeul personally participated in choreographing ‘TKO’, giving fans a unique performance shaped by her creative input. These new stages highlighted IVE’s evolving artistry and offered a glimpse into their musical growth, which fans welcomed with excitement and pride.
Crowd Favorites and Heartfelt Moments
Alongside their new songs, IVE performed fan-favorite hits that have become signature tracks in both Korea and Japan. Songs like ‘ELEVEN – Japanese ver.’, ‘I AM’, ‘Kitsch’, ‘LOVE DIVE’, and ‘After LIKE’ filled the venues with energy and loud cheers. Between performances, the members shared personal messages in Japanese, carefully prepared to express their gratitude and affection. These heartfelt interactions deepened the emotional bond with local fans, making each night feel like a shared celebration rather than just a concert.
Gratitude flows from IVE as Japan tour comes to a close
After wrapping up the tour, IVE expressed sincere appreciation to their fans through a message shared by Starship Entertainment. They said meeting DIVEs across various cities brought them joy and gave them renewed strength. “Seeing how much you enjoyed the shows gave us energy we never expected,” the group said. “We’re truly grateful for every moment and promise to return with even better performances. Thank you always, and we love you, DIVE!” Their message showed not only love for their fans but also their deep commitment to growth and connection.
