IVE has successfully wrapped up its first-ever solo concerts in Canada, marking a strong start to its North American leg of the world tour.

According to Starship Entertainment, IVE held its second world tour 'SHOW WHAT I AM' in Toronto on July 21 and Montreal on July 23 (local time).

The energy reached its peak during the latter part of the show, with performances of hit songs including 'ATTITUDE', 'LOVE DIVE', 'REBEL HEART' and 'I AM'. During 'BANG BANG', local fans were seen singing along to the Korean lyrics, demonstrating IVE's growing global popularity.

For the encore, IVE performed 'Supernova Love', 'Kitsch' and 'After LIKE', interacting closely with fans near the stage as the venue remained filled with cheers until the end.

"We're especially grateful because this was our first solo concert in Canada. Thanks to Dive's passionate support, we were able to begin our North American tour on a great note," IVE said through Starship Entertainment. "We will continue to create happy memories for more fans around the world."

Following the Canadian shows, IVE will continue its world tour across North America, visiting major cities including Newark, Austin, Los Angeles, Oakland, Seattle and Vancouver.
