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 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."
