[talk] “Parents and children together”… ‘First President’ Ive’s concert ‘a true sight’

The true value of 'President' Ive was proven even before the concert.

Ive is currently holding an encore concert for his first world tour 'Show What I Have (IVE THE 1ST WORLD TOUR 'SHOW WHAT I HAVE' - ENCORE)' at the KSPO Dome (Gymnastics Arena) in Songpa-gu, Seoul for two days on the 10th and 11th.

From his debut song 'ELEVEN' to his recently released 'Must Have', Ive has been receiving much love for his popular appeal. He also delivered a live performance that exceeded expectations at the 'Lollapalooza' concert held in Chicago, USA on the 3rd, drawing an explosive response.

The encore concert in Seoul, which followed before the heat died down, is also full of anticipation. In particular, it is meaningful as it is Ive's first time entering a gymnastics stadium. Fans also visited the venue in person to add to the atmosphere.

Fans of all ages and genders gathered at the gymnastics stadium. In particular, the sight of Dive (fandom name) and parents from all over the country, as befitting the 'first president', was a sight to behold. Mothers and daughters in matching clothes were waiting for the concert while cooling off with hand fans. Also, despite the hot weather, many were seen exchanging photocards of the I.V. members near the gymnastics stadium.

The cafe was also full of dives trying to escape the heat. 8-year-old Bae-sian, who came with his parents, smiled shyly and said, "I came from Gumi with my mom and dad," and "I was so excited to see the Ive sisters."

He continued, "I like the Ives because they're pretty. I like Ray the best," and "I like 'Ascendio' the best among their songs. It's my first concert, so I'm looking forward to the performance."

The parents who were sitting together said, "We left at 7 AM. We tried to get tickets here and there to succeed. We couldn't get tickets on the curb, so we sat together instead of apart, so it's fortunate."

In addition, another parent of an elementary school student who dives said, "I was only able to get one ticket, so my daughter ended up watching the concert alone. I'm going to wait nearby until it's over and pick her up," and shouted to her daughter, "Find a good seat and have fun. When you're seated, call me. Fighting!"

After concluding the Seoul encore concert, Ive will enter Tokyo Dome for the Japanese encore concert held on September 4th and 5th.

Haha, I heard that if you actually go to a concert, there are quite a few elementary school kids there, so I think it's the elementary school president!
