Ive shared the behind-the-scenes of Japan's 'Summer Sonic 2024'.

On the 21st, Ive uploaded a behind-the-scenes video for 'Summer Sonic 2024' on YouTube. 'Summer Sonic 2024' is Japan's biggest festival. Ive performed on stages in Osaka and Tokyo on the 17th and 18th.

Rei was visibly excited. "Watching many senior artists perform, I imagined how fun it would be for us to perform too. Now that we get to perform for two days, I'm really going to enjoy it," she said eagerly.

Ive warmed up their vocals and practiced audience engagement phrases. Ahn Yujin fine-tuned details for the 'Wave' stage. They also prepared for any unexpected situations.

The backstage was vibrant. The members were already hyped and sweating before the stage, trying to boost their excitement.

The weather in Osaka was hot. After the stage, Jang Wonyoung said, "I don't usually sweat, but after performing two songs, it felt like dancing in a sauna."

The second stage was in Tokyo. Ahn Yujin confessed her jinx. "With this long hairstyle, I feel like I can dance and sing better," she revealed.

Lizzo and Lee Seo sang 'I Am' in a children's rhyme version, assisted by Ahn Yujin. They added gentle dissonance, lightening up the atmosphere.

The finale stage in Tokyo was also a success. Ive said, "It was such an honor to perform in Osaka and Tokyo for two days. We're so grateful that so many DIves came to see us, even causing entry restrictions for the first time."
