🔥 IVE Flies to LA for Global K-pop Takeover
IVE (An Yujin, Gaeul, Rei, Jang Wonyoung, Liz, and Leeseo) has officially departed for Los Angeles to perform at KCON LA 2025, taking place from August 1 to 3 at the Crypto.com Arena and LA Convention Center. Their participation was confirmed on July 31, stirring massive anticipation among global fans.
During this year’s KCON, IVE will light up the M COUNTDOWN stage on opening day (August 1), presenting diverse performances that are expected to send the crowd into a frenzy.
👟 ‘TKO’ to Be Unleashed: A Broadcast First!
The real shocker? IVE is set to perform their track ‘TKO’ from their third mini album IVE EMPATHY—for the first time on broadcast. The choreography, partially crafted by member Gaeul herself, promises a dynamic showcase of IVE’s evolving artistry.
Fans are buzzing about what other songs IVE might bring to the stage. With their trademark energy and commanding stage presence, the group’s KCON set is bound to be unforgettable.
🌍 From LA to the World: IVE’s Expanding Footprint
This isn’t IVE’s first KCON rodeo. Back in KCON LA 2023, the group wowed fans with hits like Kitsch and I AM, even creating unforgettable moments during the “Dream Stage” by performing I AM alongside lucky fans.
Since then, IVE’s star has only risen. They’ve performed at global festivals like Lollapalooza in Chicago, Berlin, and Paris, as well as Summer Sonic 2024. Their first U.S. tour—despite not having an official American debut at the time—sold out venues in Los Angeles, Oakland, and Newark, solidifying their global fanbase and market power.
✈️ Comeback Confirmed for Late August
Following KCON LA 2025, IVE is preparing for a Korean comeback at the end of August, ramping up excitement from both domestic and international fans. Their upward trajectory shows no signs of slowing down.
With new stages, new energy, and a highly anticipated comeback on the horizon, IVE is set to dominate the second half of 2025.
