 'Gymnics → Tokyo Dome Accepted' Abe records 1,000 days after his debut



'MZ wannabe iKON'IV celebrated its 1,000th day on the 26th.

For the past 1,000 days, Ive has stood tall as a `global trend' by continuously treading footsteps such as 'first', 'ultimate', 'ultimate', 'ultimate', 'ultimate', and 'ultimate'ultimate'ultimate' in line with the modifier 'MZ wannabe icon' before the team name. Like the team name 'I HAVE = IVE', it has captured the global music market with 'Complete Group' through its subjective and imposing charm.

Eve's debut single 'ELEVEN' led a new direction in girl group narratives, deflecting the growth narrative that was considered the formula of the K-pop rookie group at the time. Songs that unraveled the narcissism-based self-love of six girls became sensational, occupying all domestic and international music charts. The public's taste, and the narrative of the rookie group, has changed since Ive. Even in their most recent EP 2nd album 'VE SWITCH', they built their own territory by organically continuing their subjective and confident messages.



Even though he was a rookie, he advocated 'completed group', so his skills were also an absolute prerequisite. Less than half a year after his debut, Ib was told by Forbes, a U.S. economic magazine, that "it is clear that Ib will have a bigger futureIt was rated ", and less than a month ago, Ive was rocked by Rolling Stone, an American music magazine, in `Rollapalooza Chicago.'have won favorable reviews of " IVE has consistently demonstrated its skills, developed further, and demonstrated the identity they have advocated from December 2022 when it started as a 'completed group'.

Ive, who led the syndrome-level popularity upon his debut, is called 'Record Maker'. They topped Melon's annual chart a year after their debut, and took the first step in winning the Rookie of the Year award, the Main Prize, and the Grand Prize at the same time at the domestic music awards ceremony. In addition, he won the No. 1 trophy in music broadcasting seven days after his debut with 'Eleven' and earned the title of 'No. 1 in the shortest period among girl groups of all time'. With this song, he won 13 awards, achieving the highest number of girl group debut songs in music broadcasts in history, and all-kill terrestrial music broadcasting triple crowns, setting the record of the most triple crowns of girl group debut songs in history. In particular, it became the third million seller in K-pop girl group history, and continued to be popular, selling 1 million albums for four consecutive years.

IVE has expanded its influence not only in Korea but also globally. British music magazine NME's selection of '2022 K-pop best songs 25' and 'The NME 100: Essential emerging artists for 2023)'; US current affairs magazine Time's selection of '2022 best K-pop songs and albums'; and the US Grammy's selection of '10 K-pop rookie girl groups' have consistently paid attention to IVE's songs. And in May, Ive wrote a feat of being named in Forbes' 「ForbES 30 UNDER 30 ASIA 2024 LIST」. Abe was the only K-pop artist on the list.

Abe has clearly shown his skills and presence by expanding his stage to the world. Ive recently performed on stages of global music festivals such as the United States 'Lollapalooza Chicago' and Japan 'SUMMER SONIC' to draw enthusiastic responses from local fans. Foreign media also praised their performances and poured out articles that highlighted them. Abe, who has drawn successive praise at the global festival, added a new nickname 'Global Festival Powerhouse'.

Ive performed a total of 11 songs for 45 minutes on the stage of 'Lapalooza Chicago' at Grant Park, Chicago, Illinois on the 3rd (local time). On this day, Ive's stage was evaluated as perfect for the setlist, live skills, and even the comments leading the performance. The Chicago Sun Time, a local U.S. media outlet, performed admirably as a girl group representing K-pop" he evaluated.

Abe continued the enthusiasm of the 'Lollapalooza' by taking the stage of 'Summer Sonic 2024' held at Osaka Manbak Memorial Park in Japan on the 17th and at ZOZO Marine Town & Makuhari Messe in Tokyo on the 18th. After whirring a total of nine heated live songs for about 40 minutes on both stages of 'Summer Sonic 2024', Ive provided band sessions and quality live performances.

▶ World Tour of 27 Cities in 19 Countries Don Ives Enters Tokyo Dome To Be Finished 'Ives Syndrome Is Currently Ongoing'

In October last year, more than two years after its debut, Ive held his first world tour 'IVE THE 1ST WORLD TOUR 'SHOW WHAT I HAVE' and met with fans all over the world. Starting with the Seoul performance in October last year, they have the final finale of the 37th 420,000-audit performance in 27 cities in 19 countries, including Asia, the Americas, Europe, and South America. Despite the first visit to most countries and cities, from overseas fans and Dive (official fan club name) who love K-pop, Ive entered the U.S. Arena with all the tickets sold out from the start of the tour in the U.S., and received a commemorative plaque from London 'THE O2'Arena, England, which entered as part of a European performance.

At the Seoul encore concert held on the 10th and 11th, the 4th generation girl group entered 'KSPO DOME' (formerly: Gymnastics Stadium). Abe, who started his tour at Jamsil Indoor Gymnasium in Seoul, showed remarkable growth by performing an encore at 'KSPO DOME', which is called the stage of singers' dreams. Despite the size of the concert hall, Ive sold out all the tickets for both performances.

Ahead of the world tour's final performance in Japan, Abe will enter the Tokyo Dome, another dream stage for singers. Abe is scheduled to perform at the Tokyo Dome in Japan on September 4 and 5, and this performance was also sold out in an instant. A total of 95,000 people will visit the concert hall to see Ives on both days. Abe is the seventh K-pop girl group to enter the Tokyo Dome. The Tokyo Dome, which can accommodate up to 50,000 audiences at a time, is a symbolic venue for singers who have reached the top in Japan. Abe left a meaningful mark by decorating the finale of his first tour at Tokyo Dome.

Ive has been steadily showing his performance for 1,000 days and developing his skills, writing a remarkable growth history with 'MZ wannabe icon'. It is expected that they will write meaningful records with other new activities in the future.
