Global K-pop sensation IVE has officially announced major Japan tour dates for their second world tour, “SHOW WHAT I AM,” scheduling two highly anticipated concerts at the Kyocera Dome Osaka for April 18 and 19, 2026. This announcement solidifies the group’s immense popularity in Japan, building on a series of successful promotions and record-breaking achievements since their debut in the country.
A Trajectory of Dominance in the Japanese Market
Since making their official Japanese debut in 2022, IVE has demonstrated remarkable and consistent growth. The group’s latest streaming milestone further proves their staying power; their hit song “After LIKE,” released in August 2022, recently surpassed 200 million cumulative streams on Billboard Japan. This makes it their third song to achieve this feat, following the massive success of “ELEVEN” and “LOVE DIVE.” Earlier in 2025, the group connected with approximately 100,000 fans during their Japan fan-con tour, “‘IVE SCOUT’ IN JAPAN,” which ran for 11 shows across 4 cities in April 2025, showcasing their dedicated and expanding fanbase.
Building on the Success of the First IVE World Tour
The upcoming dome concerts are a direct follow-up to the phenomenal success of their first world tour, “SHOW WHAT I HAVE.” That tour, which concluded in 2024, saw IVE perform 37 shows in 28 cities across 19 countries, drawing an audience of approximately 420,000. The tour’s finale included two sold-out encore concerts at the prestigious Tokyo Dome, where they performed for 95,000 fans over two days, a significant milestone for any K-pop artist. This upcoming Japan tour is set to be even bigger.
Kicking Off the ‘SHOW WHAT I AM’ Era
The second IVE world tour, “SHOW WHAT I AM,” officially kicked off with three powerful concerts at the KSPO DOME in Seoul from October 31 to November 2, 2025. The momentum for this tour has been building throughout the year. In July 2025, IVE released their third Japanese album, “Be Alright,” which immediately topped Billboard Japan’s “Top Album Sales” chart. They also captivated a massive audience with a performance at the “ROCK IN JAPAN FESTIVAL 2025” in September 2025, further cementing their status as a must-see live act.
Continued Chart Success and Future Outlook
The group’s incredible journey is marked by sustained chart success and an ever-growing global presence. The consistent performance of their music on streaming platforms highlights their deep connection with listeners and their ability to produce hit after hit. As one of the leading groups of their generation, IVE’s expansion into larger venues like the Kyocera Dome Osaka sets a new standard. Their influence continues to grow, raising exciting questions about what will shape the future of Korean music on the global stage. With tickets for the Osaka K-pop concert dates expected to be in high demand, IVE is proving that their reign is just beginning.
