Billboard Praises IVE's Tour... "Leaders of K-Pop"

IVE successfully concluded their first North American tour, receiving high praise from local media.

On May 4th (Korean time), Billboard published an article on their website titled "Recap of IVE's North American Tour Newark Finale: Leaving a Deep Inspiration."

From April 13th to 29th, IVE toured six cities in the United States for their first world tour, "SHOW WHAT I HAVE."

The media outlet specifically highlighted the Newark performance, stating, "IVE is the leader of a new generation leading K-pop," and praised their "emotional finale."

The concert setlist was also mentioned.

IVE performed a total of 24 songs that day, including eight songs that entered the Billboard charts, album tracks, and cover songs.

The highlight was the stage for "Mine." Using umbrella props, it was reminiscent of the musical "Singin' in the Rain."

The chilling concept of the VCR also received high praise.

The unit and solo performances also caught attention.

The article explained, "They covered songs ranging from Ariana Grande to Indonesian singer Niki and British singer Richard Sanderson."

The media outlet added, "IVE reminded us that as the prom queens of K-pop, they have created a distinct identity and color that no one can imitate."

The final stage was decorated with their first English single, "All Night." Before leaving the stage, IVE repeatedly sang the chorus of the song more than seven times.

They also officially announced plans to release a new mini-album, "IVE SWITCH." The article concluded, "They promised more activities with fans in the future."
