[The Fact | Reporter Choi Hyun-jung] Group Ive heated up Lollapalooza.

Ive performed for about an hour on the MAIN EAST stage of the music festival 'Lollapalooza Paris' held at the Hippodrome ParisLongchamp in Paris, France at 7 PM on the 20th (local time).

Ive, who was invited to Berlin and Paris this year after 'Lollapalooza Chicago' last year, achieved the extraordinary record of being the first K-pop girl group to perform at 'Lollapalooza' for 2 consecutive years and in 3 cities through this performance.

On this day, Ive went on stage in burgundy and black as the main colors. The punk-mood styling with various materials such as chains, leather, and metal caught the attention by maximizing each member's individuality while creating a sense of unity.

Ive, who opened the concert with 'REBEL HEART', calmly finished the stage despite a sound transmission problem during the 'I AM' stage that followed, and then performed 'REBEL HEART' and 'I AM' again from the beginning to present a more complete performance to the audience. During this process, Ahn Yu-jin led the atmosphere on site with her calm and proactive response.

Ive, encouraged by the audience's even louder cheers, heated up the stage by performing a parade of hit songs including 'REBEL HEART', 'I AM', 'Baddie', 'LOVE DIVE', 'ATTITUDE', and 'Kitsch'.

In addition, the live on this day delivered a richer sound and sense of presence with the addition of a band session. The audience on site also responded by singing along to the Korean lyrics, heightening the atmosphere.

After finishing all the stages, Ive said through agency Starship Entertainment, "From the moment I prepared for 'Lollapalooza' to the time I went on stage and communicated with the audience, I was really happy and had fun." They added, "I would like to sincerely thank Dive (official fan club name) and the local audience for their warm welcome, and I would also like to express my deep gratitude to the fans who watched and cheered me on in Korea. I will work hard to show you a better side of myself in the future."

Meanwhile, Ive will attend the first match of the '2025 Coupang Play Series' between Team K-League and Newcastle United (hereinafter referred to as 'Newcastle') at Suwon World Cup Stadium on the 30th and perform a celebration and halftime stage.
