Translating their musical success into live performances, IVE attracted a total of 127,000 fans during their second world tour 'SHOW WHAT I AM', with concerts held at the Kyocera Dome Osaka and Tokyo Dome. This attendance set a new personal record for the group.
Expanding their presence on Japanese television, IVE appeared on popular programs including 'Venue 101', 'CDTV Live! Live!', and 'The Music Day'.
