IAM Worldwide, known for its rapid growth in direct selling, is branching out into concert and event production with the launch of IAM Live. Its first event, IAM K-POP, will take place on March 29, 2025, at 6:00 PM at the SMART Araneta Coliseum. The festival will feature IRENE and SEULGI from Red Velvet, the K-pop group RIIZE, and P-pop act HORI7ON.

IAM Worldwide shared that the move to produce K-pop events is driven by a genuine appreciation for the genre and its growing influence. The company aims to offer fans a closer and more engaging way to enjoy K-pop and celebrate the vibrant energy that it represents.

“For us, being part of it as a fan is like living the dream of what K-pop has always been about—community, passion and excitement,” said IAM Worldwide.

The festival will feature IRENE and SEULGI, a sub-unit of Red Velvet formed by SM Entertainment in 2020. Known for songs like “Naughty” and “Monster,” the duo is set to perform a mix of solo tracks and sub-unit favorites. IRENE, Red Velvet’s leader and rapper, recently released her solo debut Like A Flower in 2024. SEULGI, known for her strong performances, launched her solo career in 2022 with 28 Reasons.

The lineup also includes RIIZE, a group that debuted in 2023. Their songs “Talk )”, “Boom Boom Bass” and “Get A Guitar” have gained attention both in South Korea and internationally. In a short time, RIIZE has earned recognition at award shows like the MAMA Awards, Melon Music Awards and Seoul Music Awards.

Adding to the event is HORI7ON, a seven-member group formed through ABS-CBN’s Dream Maker program. Their debut album Friend-SHIP under MLD Entertainment was well received when it was released in 2023.
