In 2022, IVE achieved first place just one week after their debut, winning both the Rookie of the Year and Grand Prize awards in the same year.
Their global popularity earned them an invitation to Lollapalooza for two consecutive years. They achieved headliner status in just 1,319 days after their debut.
Even after a 20-hour flight, the members proved to be true professionals as they jumped straight into rehearsal without jet lag.
As the headliner, the girls prepared a massive performance of over 55 minutes with 14 songs.
Leader Ahn Yujin showcased her leadership skills as she offered opinions when the order of the setlist for six songs was suddenly changed.
The members agreed that they admired her leadership, “She takes care of everything. So charismatic.”
IVE, who began their hair and makeup nine hours before the show, and even sat through interviews, expressed concerns about the weather.
Liz became embroiled in rumors about her bangs falling out during this process and clarified the speculations.
My bang hairpiece slowly started to fall out. I thought it would be better to remove it myself than to have it fall off during the performance, so I took it off. My bangs were all over the place. It was like I was losing my hair.

After a successful performance, Ahn Yujin expressed her shock that more people knew their songs than expected.
