‘MZ wannabe icon’ IVE(An Yu-jin, Ga-eul, Lay, Jang Won-young, Liz, Lee Seo)has started their Japan fan concert tour.

On the 12th and 13th, Ive held a Nagoya concert as part of their Japanese fan-con tour ‘’ IVE SCOUT’ ‘IN JAPAN’ ‘at the Aichi Sky Expo in Nagoya, Japan.With local fans also showing special expectations for the fan-con being held for the first time in Lay’s hometown of Nagoya, the members announced a splendid start to the tour by performing two concerts a day for a total of four times.

On this day, Ive opened the concert with ‘REBEL HEART’ and’ I AM ‘.The members came up on stage in their uniforms and showed off their dazzling visuals with each member’s unique colors, and they immediately took over the atmosphere with their stable live performance.

After finishing the stage, Ive exchanged greetings in Japanese with Dive(official fan club name), whom he had not seen in a long time.They had time to get closer to their fans by talking about their recent activities and TMI, and then they performed their Japanese debut song ‘ELEVEN - Japanese ver’, leaving a deep impression on them.

There were also special unit stages that can only be seen at fan concerts.Ahn Yu-jin, Ga-eul, and Lay performed the Japanese version of Orange Caramel’s “Magical Girl”, while Jang Won-young, Liz, and Lee Seo performed Dua Lipa’s “Levitating”, drawing enthusiastic cheers.In particular, the cute appearance of the members struggling to win the magic wand on the “Magical Girl” stage brought laughter, while the sophisticated visuals of the members in suits on the “Levitating” stage drew admiration from fans.The excitement on site reached its peak as the stage of “TKO” from the new album was also revealed for the first time in Japan.

As it was a fan concert, there was also a ‘DIVE MISSION : Move it, Do it !’ corner where they performed various missions sent by Japanese DIVEs.The members filled the concert hall with joy by performing various missions ranging from locally popular challenges to challenges that were popular in the past, and after completing all the missions, they all commemorated the moment by taking a picture holding a ‘Mini B’ bouquet.

After that, Ive performed the title song of his second Japanese album, “CRUSH”, during the first and third performances, and the title song of his first Japanese album, “WAVE”, during the second and fourth performances.Since both songs are original Japanese songs that topped local charts, fans cheered loudly and completed the stage together.

In addition to this, Ive completely captivated local fans with a relay of mega hits such as ‘Kitsch’, ‘LOVE DIVE’, and ‘After LIKE’, and decorated the finale of the concert with the title song of the new album, ‘ATTITUDE’.

As Ive left the stage after finishing the stage, fans poured in to request an encore.As if responding, the members made a surprise appearance singing “THANK U” from the new album and personally handed out signed balls to express their sincere gratitude.Ive then performed “NOT YOUR GIRL” as an encore, and conveyed a deep lingering feeling by making eye contact with each fan and singing passionately until the end.

Lay, who successfully completed the fan-con in his hometown of Nagoya, shared his thoughts through his agency Starship Entertainment, saying, “I was so happy and touched.This was a moment I had dreamed of for a long time, so I think it will remain an unforgettable memory for the rest of my life.I would like to thank everyone who made these precious memories with me.” He continued, “I always try my best, but this concert made me want to work harder once again.I will do my best on stage for the upcoming Fukuoka, Kobe, and Yokohama concerts with a grateful heart.Dive, I really love you!”

Meanwhile, Ive will continue his Japanese fan concert tour ‘’ IVE SCOUT’’ IN JAPAN at Marine Messe Fukuoka on the 21st and 22nd, Kobe World Memorial Hall on the 25th and 26th, K -Arena Yokohama on the 29th and 30th.
