In the last episode of KBS 2TV 'Crazy Rich Korean' season 1, which aired on the 17th, Ive members appeared in the studio to unravel their breathless journey to the stage of the world's four major music festivals 'Rollapalooza Berlin'.
IVE is a rich group of hits in its fifth year since its debut, having topped music programs in seven days and winning the first place, the rookie award, and the grand prize in the shortest period of time for a girl group. Ive, the only K-pop artist to be listed on Forbes 'Asian Influential 30 Under 30', was invited to the stage 'Lollapalooza' this year, following Chicago last year. The hot scene and behind-the-scenes of 'Lollapalooza Berlin', which Ive performed as a headliner this year, were revealed only through 'Crazy Rich Korean'.
After traveling for more than 20 hours from Incheon, Abe immediately began rehearsals immediately after arriving in Berlin. The airport was warmly welcomed by a large number of local fans, and there were more than 60 staff members, making the stage real. In rehearsals, bands and dance teams joined to create an environment that was almost like an actual performance, and Ive matched the sound reorganized into a festival version, modified choreography, and complex large movements and comments. In particular, despite the time difference and fatigue, all of them performed high-pitched and live perfectly, showing a professional appearance.

On the day of the performance, despite the bad weather and heavy rain, the members continued to practice niche and check their conditions, and raised the atmosphere by conveying positive energy to each other. Major German media companies and MTV in the U.S. arrived at the scene to add to the enthusiasm for coverage, and the members answered questions in fluent English without hesitation.
IVE, who exploded energy at the beginning with 'REBEL HEART', which was selected as Billboard's best K-pop song, drew 50,000 audience chants and shouts in 'I AM'. Even on the previous day's changed protruding stage, he fully digested 'Baddie' to prove his ability to cope with the crisis.
The performance culminated in the performance of 'LOVE DIVE', which had numerous records, including 10 music broadcasts, the grand slam of major awards, 200 million views of the challenge, and 500 million views of the music video. The performance, which continued from the most complicated movement to 'Kitsch', the debut song 'ELEVEN', 'All Night', and the encore stage 'After LIKE', was a time to share the energy of K-pop with audiences around the world. Even the tearful girl fans and overseas fans chanting the fan chant in Korean 'Lollapalooza' stage was filled with emotion and joy.
The venue for this performance was the 1936 Berlin Olympic Stadium, where the history of Son Ki-jung, the first Korean marathon gold medalist, and Nam Seung-ryong, the bronze medalist, is located. Ive's stage marked another Korean record in this space.
Throughout season 1, "Crazy Rich Korean" has shed light on a truly rich life completed through immersion, teamwork, and communication with people rather than brilliant achievements. Ive's 'Lollapalooza' stage journey marked the end of season 1 with an intensive display of the message. At the end of the show, the possibility of season 2 was mentioned, leaving expectations on how to illuminate the main characters of another crazy passion. The production team further raised viewers' curiosity about the follow-up season by saying that "various discussions are in progress.".
