The hidden story behind IVE’s rise to the stage of the global music festival “Lollapalooza Berlin” will be revealed for the first time on KBS 2TV’s “Crazy Rich Koreans,” airing on the 17th.

The upcoming broadcast features IVE members Gaeul, Rei, Liz, and Leeseo, who will share insights into their 1,319-day-long musical journey since debut and the process that led to their participation in one of the world’s top four music festivals—broadcasting their behind-the-scenes experiences for the first time.

IVE has made headlines for achieving the fastest music show win in history, sweeping major rookie and grand prizes at award ceremonies, and being named to Forbes’ “30 Under 30 Asia.” Invited to Lollapalooza for the second year in a row, the group capped off the 2024 edition as headliners on the main stage.

Despite a long-haul flight and no time to adjust to jet lag, IVE immediately launched into rehearsals, perfecting arrangements and choreography alongside their band and dance team, demonstrating the professionalism they are known for. Even when faced with unexpected variables—such as changes involving the extended stage—leader Yujin calmly took the lead, guiding the members as they quickly adapted and rehearsed new formations with precision.

The broadcast will also feature light-hearted moments, including IVE teaching the “Love Dive” choreography to hosts and Kwak Tube—a self-proclaimed IVE fan—showcasing a hit song dance medley, adding fun variety to the show.

On the day of their performance, IVE faced torrential rain and strong winds but persevered through repeated rehearsals. Their dedication paid off, as the group delivered a powerful set that united 50,000 festivalgoers in a thunderous singalong. The program will highlight not only the spectacular finale, but also behind-the-scenes anecdotes—such as Liz’s hair mishap due to the downpour—and vivid glimpses into IVE’s journey to Lollapalooza and the passionate atmosphere onsite.

The finale episode of “Crazy Rich Koreans,” featuring IVE, celebrates relentless hard work, teamwork, and a fiery passion for dreams. Viewers can expect to be moved by the group’s professionalism and synergy, as the broadcast goes beyond a typical performance to spotlight the team’s ability to overcome pressure and unforeseen challenges in pursuit of an unforgettable stage.

The final episode of “Crazy Rich Koreans,” starring IVE, is scheduled to air on KBS 2TV at 9:20 PM on the 17th.
