IVE Los Angeles Kia Forum Concert: Group Returns to LA for Massive 27-Song Show

Top-tier K-pop girl group IVE has heated up the West Coast, successfully completing their landmark performance at the iconic Kia Forum in Los Angeles, California.

On August 1 (local time), the group held their second world tour, SHOW WHAT I AM, at the IVE Los Angeles Kia Forum Concert. Marking their return to the arena two years after their first 2024 tour SHOW WHAT I HAVE, IVE demonstrated incredible growth, stage presence, and live vocal power.

Expanded Arena Tour: From Toronto to Los Angeles

This second world tour reflects IVE’s expanding global footprint, scaling up from 6 North American cities to 8 cities across the U.S. and Canada (including Toronto, Montreal, and Vancouver).

Supported by a heavy live band sound and high-concept VCR visuals, the sextet seamlessly transitioned from dark, charismatic concepts to vibrant, energetic pop stages throughout the night.

Highlight of the Night: Original Solo Stages by All 6 Members

A major highlight of the IVE Los Angeles Kia Forum Concert was that every member performed an original solo track—moving away from covers or unit stages to highlight their individual artistries:

• Jang Wonyoung (“8”): Captivated the arena in a striking red ensemble with a alluring performance.

• Rei (“IN YOUR HEART”): Showcased her songwriting and composing skills.

• Liz (“UNREAL”): Delivered powerful, crystal-clear live vocals.

• Gaeul (“ODD”): Personally participated in planning and directing her stage concept.

• Leeseo (“SUPER ICY”): Took on a bold voguing dance performance.

• An Yujin (“FORCE”): Unleashed explosive stage presence and energy.

Overwhelming Sing-Alongs and Encores

Reuniting as a full group, IVE launched into “♥beats”—featuring choreography created by member Gaeul—before storming through mega-hits like “ATTITUDE”, “LOVE DIVE”, and “I AM”. They closed the main set with a high-energy performance of “BANG BANG”.

During the encore, local LA fans responded with deafening sing-alongs in Korean and English, filling the arena as the group performed “Supernova Love” and “Kitsch”.

“We will finish the rest of our tour safely and promise to return to Los Angeles as soon as possible,” the members expressed warmly to the crowd in fluent English.
