IVE Open North American Tour With First Canada Shows
the girls opened the 'show what i am' na leg in toronto and montreal — their first-ever solo shows in canada — and dives sang every korean lyric right back. wonyoung soloing to '8' has me UNWELL.
the girlies said o canada and MEANT it. ive just kicked off the north american leg of their 'show what i am' world tour with their first-ever solo concerts in canada, and the footage has me spiraling.
they hit toronto on july 21 and montreal on july 23 — the group's first time headlining their own shows in canada since debut — and per starship the whole thing got upgraded: new styling, beefed-up staging, the works. mother tour is mothering.
setlist-wise they did not miss: opened with 'gotcha' and 'xoxz,' ran through 'love dive,' 'attitude,' 'i am' and 'rebel heart,' and during 'bang bang' the crowd sang the korean lyrics back word for word. the growth. the globalization. i'm emotional.
the solo stages were the main event, obviously — wonyoung took on '8' while rei, liz, gaeul, leeseo and yujin each got their moment to serve. six soloists in a trench coat, respectfully.
ive said through starship they were "able to begin our North American tour on a great note" thanks to dives, and same. next up: newark, austin, los angeles, oakland, seattle and vancouver. if she's coming to your city, lock in — this is not a drill.

IVE's 'I AM' Becomes Group's First MV to Hit 400 Million Views
the 2023 monster hit crossed 400M on youtube on august 30 — three years, four months and change to get there. iconic behavior only.
not IVE casually adding another trophy to the cabinet like it's nothing.
shortly before 1 p.m. KST on august 30, the music video for IVE's 2023 hit "I AM" crossed 400 million views on youtube — the group's FIRST mv ever to hit that milestone. the girlies did that.
for context: "I AM" dropped on april 10, 2023, which means it took about three years, four months and 19 days to get here. slow burn? maybe. but 400 million is 400 million and i'm not hearing any slander.
"I AM" being the one to break the record is honestly so fitting — it's THE main-character anthem. the manifestation queens ate and left zero crumbs. 💎
