Bringing serious Baddie energy to the stage, IVE had Singapore DIVEs on their feet from start to finish at the IVE WORLD TOUR < SHOW WHAT I AM > IN SINGAPORE on 9 May 2026. The K-pop powerhouse returned to Singapore with a night that highlighted both their star power and evolving artistry as beyond their hit songs, this concert tour also featured solo stages, marking a first for IVE.
They opened strong with “GOTCHA”, “XOXZ” and “Baddie”, appearing in sleek black two-piece leather outfits. The momentum continued with “Ice Queen” and “BLACKHOLE”, before a brief greeting as they made their way to the extended stage for “TKO” and “Holy Moly”. “My Satisfaction” shifted the mood into a more sultry direction, with life-sized chess pieces on stage evoking a dramatic, game-like concept reminiscent of Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone movie scenes.
The highlight of the night was undoubtedly the solo stages. Wonyoung opened the segment with “8”, appearing in a striking black and red outfit, while dancers in white made her stand out even more. The playful lyric “five, six, seven, I ate” sparked loud fan chants that rang clearly through the stadium, with her performance fully matching its confident energy. She ended the stage with a bright, playful wink before wrapping up her solo. Wonyoung also shared that the choreography incorporated the number 8 as a symbol of infinity, encouraging fans to listen to the song whenever they wanted to feel “forever confident”.
Rei, who shared that she wanted fans to fall into her charm while enjoying her solo song, followed with “In Your Heart”. The track delivered a bright Gen Z-inspired concept filled with playful poses, heart gestures, and crab leg-style dance moves. Dressed in white and pink, she carried the performance across the extended stage with an easy, natural charm.
Liz delivered one of our favourite and most memorable stages of the night with “Unreal”. Dressed in a flowing floral dress, she showcased her live vocals as confetti filled the stage, creating an ethereal atmosphere that felt both delicate and powerful. In her introduction to the song, Liz noted that it matched Singapore’s warm summer feel and encouraged fans to pay close attention to the lyrics.
Gaeul followed with “Odd”, performing against a moonlit backdrop in a soft, boho-inspired look. Beginning on a sofa before moving along the extended walkway, she brought a dreamy and artistic mood to the stage. Having participated in writing the lyrics, she expressed her hope that DIVE could see the world in a more beautiful way through the song.
Leeseo’s “Super ICY” shifted the tone again with a cool, ice princess-inspired concept and sharp choreography, featuring dynamic floor work that highlighted the song’s edgy dance energy.
Yujin’s “Force” closed the solo section with a powerful dance break and commanding stage presence. Despite the demanding choreography, she maintained steady vocals while executing high-energy moves, including performing on a rising stage lift. Fully embodying a confident, mature girl-crush image, she even prompted fans to “make some noise” during the performance.
Together, the solo stages highlighted the distinct identity of each member, showcasing their individual artistry within one cohesive show.
The group then returned to the stage through a creative live opening segment, filming themselves backstage as they shared a selfie and team cheer before making their entrance on stage. Dressed in elegant white outfits with wing details at the back, they re-emerged with a softer angelic concept for “WOW”. The mood then shifted into a more relaxed and interactive section with “Off The Record”, where the members moved across the extended stage engaging closely with fans, followed by “FLU”.
The talk segment came later in the concert, with the members expressing how energetic Singapore DIVEs were. They made playful attempts at Singlish, with Rei memorably introducing herself as “Hi I am Rei, DIVE jiayou!”, which drew laughter from the crowd as it was quite random. The group reflected on returning to Singapore after two years and shared how they worked hard to show a stronger side of IVE on this tour.
The second highlight of the concert was the title track medley of “ATTITUDE”, “LOVE DIVE”, “REBEL HEART” and “I AM”. The members transitioned into striking black and gold ensembles on stage, and the crowd filled the stadium with loud fan chants and continuous singalongs, as the segment featured some of their most well-loved hits.
While waiting for the encore, a DIVE dance segment featured selected fans on screen. The segment included a mix of participants, including a young fan during “LOVE DIVE” and a male fan during “ELEVEN” who humorously recreated the viral 6–7 trend, sending the crowd into laughter. The members later shared that they had watched the segment backstage and praised that DIVEs were the best and were all great dancers.
During their final comments, the members thanked fans for their strong support, with Liz expressing how happy she was to see so many DIVEs in Singapore. Yujin promised they would return as soon as possible, while Gaeul ended things off with a playful remark, grinning as she said that both she and DIVE had “slayed” that day.
The concert closed with “Supernova Love”, featuring Wonyoung at the DJ console as the members spread across the stage, followed by “After LIKE”, which drew one of the loudest singalongs of the night, especially the part where the girls sing ‘what’s after like‘. The group moved around all sides of the stage for final interactions, making sure to greet fans up close before saying goodbye.
Overall, the show balanced elegant, sultry, and powerful girl-crush concepts seamlessly, highlighting IVE’s versatility and growth as performers. The members’ English communication skills, particularly from Wonyoung and Yujin, also stood out as they spoke fluently and made a clear effort to convey their sincerity to DIVEs. The concert was a polished and confident showcase, as expected of one of Korea’s top girl groups, and it left anticipation high for their next return to Singapore.
