Ive begins North American tour with first performance in Toronto

The group Ive is heading directly to fans on the North American continent. On July 21 (local time), Ive began their North American journey for their second world tour, 'SHOW WHAT I AM', at Scotiabank Arena in Toronto, Canada. This performance marks Ive's first solo concert in Canada and is expected to be a turning point that carries the heat from their previous Asia and Oceania tours to North America.

Touring 8 cities starting from Toronto, including Montreal and LA

This North American tour shows a difference in scale compared to previous ones. Compared to their first world tour 'SHOW WHAT I HAVE', when they visited six cities in the United States, they have expanded their schedule to a total of eight cities this time, including Canada. Starting with the Toronto performance, Ive will travel across North America, visiting Montreal, Newark, Austin, Los Angeles, Oakland, Seattle, and Vancouver in order.

Ive had already first announced the plans for this North American tour through Billboard in March. They have also steadily expanded their connection with local fans. They demonstrated their presence in the North American market by appearing on FOX11's 'Good Day LA', and they also drew attention from local media by selling out their Los Angeles and Newark performances during their first tour. In this tour, they are expected to showcase upgraded live vocals and performances based on the stage experience they have accumulated.

Global steps expanding to North America through Asia and Japan

Ive's current North American move is built upon a steady expansion over the past year. Having opened the doors to their second world tour through a Seoul performance last October, they have built a global fandom by touring major cities in Asia and Oceania. In particular, they proved their status as a 'performance powerhouse' capable of handling large-scale venues by successfully holding consecutive performances at Kyocera Dome and Tokyo Dome in Japan this past April and June.

Comprised of An Yu Jin, Gaeul, Rei, Jang Won-young, Liz, and Leeseo, Ive plans to further solidify their position as global pop artists through this tour. Based on the stage capabilities proven in Asia and Japan, they are in the process of expanding their sphere of activity by interacting directly with North American audiences.
