IVE Continues Rising in Japan’s Music Scene
IVE first entered the Japanese market in 2022 with the Japanese version of their hit debut song ‘ELEVEN’.

Most recently, IVE contributed ‘DARE ME’ as the opening song for NTV’s Sunday drama, further boosting their presence among local viewers. This fan concert tour is expected to deepen their connection with Japanese fans and create lasting memories.

With their Japan tour in full swing, IVE is solidifying their spot as a global K-pop powerhouse.
