Clips from the performance were livestreamed on Weverse, TikTok and YouTube, drawing viewers from 159 countries and regions.

Over the course of the tour, ILLIT performed a 24-song setlist that included hits such as "Magnetic," "Cherish (My Love)" and "Do the Dance," while interacting with fans through sing-alongs and dance challenges.

With the tour complete, the group is shifting its focus to promotions for its second Japanese single and a series of summer festival appearances, including Mezamashi WANGAN Festival and LuckyFes 2026 in August.
