IVE's 'SHOW WHAT I AM' Tour: Members Shine with Debut Solo Performances
The weekend of October 31 to November 2, 2025, marked a milestone moment for global K-pop group IVE as they launched their second world tour, 'SHOW WHAT I AM' with three sold-out shows at Seoul's KSPO Dome. What made these concerts particularly special wasn't just the impressive attendance of over 28,200 fans, it was the fact that each member performed their own solo song for the very first time.
Six Members, Six Unique Musical Colors
The highlight of the concert series was undoubtedly the solo performances, where each IVE member showcased their individual artistry and distinct musical identity. This was a significant departure from their usual group performances and gave fans an intimate glimpse into each member's personal artistic vision.
Jang WonYoung kicked off the solo segment with her track "8," sharing an empowering message with fans about confidence and self-belief. Her performance demonstrated her growth as both a performer and an artist willing to show vulnerability alongside strength.
Rei captivated the audience with "In Your Heart," proving her ability to command the stage on her own and connect emotionally with thousands of fans.
Liz showcased her exceptional vocal abilities with "Unreal," a performance that highlighted why she's considered one of the group's strongest vocalists. Her technical prowess shone through in this solo spotlight.
Ga Eul brought powerful energy with "Odd," showing a different side of herself that fans don't always get to see in group performances.
Lee Seo, the youngest member, proved she's no longer just the maknae with "Super Icy," delivering high-energy choreography and commanding presence.
Ahn YuJin closed the solo segment with "Force," bringing a commanding and confident performance that left fans buzzing.
A Show Built on Authenticity
The tour's title, 'SHOW WHAT I AM,' reflects IVE's evolution as artists. Moving beyond their previous 'SHOW WHAT I HAVE' tour, which attracted an impressive 420,000 attendees across 19 countries—this new tour represents a more mature, authentic presentation of who the members are today.
Running nearly three hours with a packed setlist of 27 songs, most performed with a live band, the concerts demonstrated IVE's commitment to delivering a premium experience. The live instrumentation added depth and richness to their performances, elevating the energy in the massive venue.
Emotional Connections and Future Promises
The members didn't hold back their emotions during the final Seoul show. Liz expressed gratitude for the collaborative process: "As we prepared for this concert, we shared a lot of our own opinions and worked hard to show a cooler, better version of ourselves."
Jang Won Young reflected on the meaning behind their work: "Thanks to DIVEs, the work I do is filled with meaning. I really wanted to tell you all thank you and I love you."
Perhaps most excitingly, Ahn YuJin teased bigger things to come: "Thank you so much for filling this huge venue for three days. Next time, let's meet at an even bigger place!"
What's Next for IVE
With Seoul conquered, IVE is now set to take 'SHOW WHAT I AM' global, with tour dates planned across Asia, the Americas, Europe, and Oceania. International fans are eagerly awaiting announcements for their regions, hoping to witness these special solo stages and the group's continued artistic growth.
The debut of these solo songs represents more than just new music, it's a statement about IVE's maturity as artists and their confidence in showing individual personalities alongside their powerful group dynamic. As they prepare to tour the world, one thing is clear: IVE isn't just showing what they have anymore; they're showing exactly who they are.
