IVE (28 July, Qudos Bank Arena)
Aug. 27th, 2024 11:06 pmThis show was sold out, pretty impressive for a group that debuted just two and a half years ago. But IVE did have a head start, building the group around former IZ*ONE members Yujin and Wonyoung.
Their songs are so catchy, their styling so fun, and they seem really charming, so I was looking forward to this show, even with our nosebleed tickets. And they were very entertaining and charming! They played a good long set, with some interesting unit stages, and cute banter.
They have quite a grown-up image but all the members are quite young, and I think the concert actually does reflect that quite well in the sense that it felt like a very youth-friendly show - a bit of a tween show at times!
At the start of the show they had some technical issues, with the backing track cutting out early, so for a moment they were just singing with no track. The technical problem also meant they had to move one of their ments up and kill some time while it was fixed - they handled it well!
With the staging, I do think it was a slight disadvantage that the screens were vertical view, like fancams. Although this allowed for good close-ups of each member, I really missed being able to see their choreo and formations on the big screen.
Yujin was my bias going in and that didn't change, I think she's such a star and so charming. Rei was my unexpected concert fave, she has such a cool energy and is really cute in ments.
They mentioned they went to the zoo and chose some representative animals:
- Liz quokka
- Leeseo baby kangaroo
- Yujin wombat
- Wonyoung koala
- Gaeul puppy
- Rei capybara
Other notes:
- Wonyoung tried meat pies, she said she liked it but sorry Wonyoung I am sorry you had to do that lol
- Rei tried Timtams
- Wonyoung asked us if we preferred Coles or Woolies! HAHAHAHA. Rei: "I love Target."
- Liz thought the koala was the cutest at the zoo and Yujin says wombats were bigger than she expected.
- They also asked us to pick between summer vs winter.
- The encore had audience cam dance alongs and the fans were really cute.
- Gaeul in her ment wanted to try the "Aussie, Aussie, Aussie, oi oi oi" call and repeat chant - but on her first try she said "oi oi oi" rather than "Aussie, Aussie, Aussie"! Honestly so silly and cute.
