Live Nation Singapore is thrilled to announce that one of the fastest-growing K-Pop groups, IVE, have announced their first global outing – 1ST WORLD TOUR ‘SHOW WHAT I HAVE’. The 24-date world tour will hit various cities across Southeast Asia, North America, Europe, the U.K., South America, Eastern Asia and Australia next year. IVE formed in 2021 and grew to major success following the release of their first single, ‘ELEVEN’ which went on to win multiple awards, alongside their other title tracks. This year, IVE released their first full-length album , selling more than 1.1 million copies in the first week. The group kicked off their 1ST WORLD TOUR ‘SHOW WHAT I HAVE’ with two incredible sold-out shows last month in Seoul. 

INNISFREE officially announced its rebranding at the end of February 2023. Drawing inspiration from its roots in Jeju Island, the brand unveils THE NEW ISLE: a place of inspiration, freedom, and active ingredients. The brand also proudly introduces a new brand ambassador, Kim Min-Gyu (member of SEVENTEEN) who will be joining Won-Young (member of IVE), INNISFREE'S brand ambassador since July 2021. The new brand slogan, Effective, Nature-Powered Skincare Discovered from the Island, carries the can-do spirit that is unique to INNISFREE of delving into the infinite nature and energy of the brand’s new island, THE NEW ISLE, while trailblazing the area of healthy beauty. THE NEW ISLE being newly introduced by INNISFREE is an isle in the midst of the blue green ocean filled with mystical energy, a place where everyone can enjoy the nature and be complete. THE NEW ISLE campaign video, which signals the transformation of INNISFREE, reinterprets the brand’s isle world view that carries the meaning, innis (island) and free (freedom), while pushing the boundaries of the new world view. The clip captures the spirit of pioneers, explorers, and challengers in the vast nature through the lively, energetic movements of the brand persona to convey THE NEW ISLE world view, INNISFREE’s newfound isle.

Looking back on 2021, it has been another amazing year for the KPOP industry yet again, from stunning debuts to addictive song releases. We simply can’t wait to check out what’s in for us, KPOP fans, in 2022!

Here are 2 groups that we believe you should look forward to in 2022! 

1. ATEEZ

Members: Seonghwa, Yunho, San, Yeosang, Hongjoong, Jongho, Wooyoung & Mingi

Although ATEEZ has already been named the leader of the 4th Generation KPOP groups several times, the team continues to soar to greater heights early into 2022!

The 8-member boy group had just completed their world tour ‘The Fellowship’ in the US and they have successfully sold out majority of their stops for the concert. More stops were planned in Europe but have been postponed due to the pandemic situation. (Hopefully Singapore and Malaysia will be included in their world tour stops one day!)

On 31 January 2022,  ATEEZ also released a new track, ‘Don’t Stop’ through the platform Universe. Although the team has been overseas for their world tour since mid-January, new achievements continue to follow them wherever they are!

‘Don’t Stop’ has ranked #1 in the iTunes Charts in at least 21 regions, including Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia! The song also debuted at #1 on the Worldwide iTunes song charts and this certainly is a huge achievement for a young 4th generation KPOP group!

ATEEZ has showed that the future of KPOP is indeed very bright and we are very much looking forward to ATEEZ’s activities in 2022!

2. IVE

Members: Gaeul, Liz, Wonyoung, Yujin, Leeseo & Rei

Another group to look forward to in 2022 are the monster rookies IVE! The group also consists of former IZ*ONE members Yujin and Wonyoung.

1,2,3,4,5,6,7, you make me feel like eleven!~ It took IVE 7 days to achieve their first win and the girls have a total of 11 music show wins till date!

Debuted on 1 December 2021, the STARSHIP Ent. rookie girl group has been making headlines for breaking the record to be the fastest girl group to achieve a music show win after debut.

Visual, vocals, dance, rap, style and charisma, the rising rookie girl group has them all and they have proven to be able to show duality through their strong performances! 

Check out some of IVE’s performance videos below!
