IVE "Show What I have" Tour comes to Atlanta

Written by: Mehana Rosario

IVE, a six-member K-pop girl group, recently visited Atlanta for their “Show What I Have” world tour. As a seasoned concertgoer, I was very excited to see what the group would bring to the table. As I entered the arena, there were so many DIVE (IVE’s fandom) gathered around that before I even got to my seat, you could hear the screams of excitement. The fans showed their love for the group by dressing in different outfits inspired by IVE’s music videos and performances. As I watched the seats around me fill in and the music began to roar, I knew the show was about to begin!

Once the girls took the stage, they opened with their hit song “I AM.” I was immediately blown away by the group’s performance. Their vocals and dance are something else! The main vocalist, Yujin, stood out with her signature high note in the song. One thing I love about K-pop concerts is how you can truly feel how much time and effort the artist has put into their shows. The girls did not disappoint and executed every move flawlessly.
In between songs, the girls made sure to interact with the crowd and speak about their time in Atlanta. During this time, they talked about visiting places like the aquarium, attending an Atlanta Hawks game, and eating delicious foods. The main rapper, Rei, even talked about going to Target and buying a Bratz doll! The girls were very grateful towards their fans, and DIVE made sure to return that love by keeping up the energy. As the concert progressed, the girls showed their charm and teamwork with solo and duo performances.Nearing the end, the girls performed their most recent song, “All Night,” and danced the night away alongside the crowd. Throughout the show, the girls proved their amazing abilities and were able to put on an amazing show! Hopefully, in the future, they’ll return to Atlanta and put on another great show.

AleXa "Sick of You" in ATL

AleXa brought her revolution back to Atlanta on the “Sick of You” tour this past Tuesday at The Masquerade. Not only was she able to perform some of her most loved songs, she was also teasing the fans by introducing some new unreleased tracks this tour. One of the highlights of the show is when she performed her newly released single “Sick.” Being a fan of the song itself, I couldn't wait to hear live and she certainly did not disappoint as she sang the song flawlessly and with her emotion filling up the venue.One thing I noticed that stood out for me was AleXa’s relationship with her fans. It almost seemed like a friendship more than an artist and fan exchange. She had one segment where she even asked her fans to submit some problems and she would give her best advice to the scenario. It was interesting to see both the fans and artists being very comfortable with each other and honest and overall just having a great time together. You could tell AleXa has a very warm and energetic personality and she shows it well. There is not one moment she let the hype die in the venue!Something I will never get tired of is seeing a fan see an artist they admire. it was beautiful not only to see the artist giving her all to put on a show but also to see the fans cheer and get excited when their favorite song came on or when AleXa completed their heart or waved back. We can't wait to see what the next part of AleXa’s Revolution is and we hope a trip back to Atlanta isn’t too far away.
