Chogiwa – IZ*ONE just finished their concert. It was a full 160 minutes of living the dream for their fans around the world. Though during pandemic, IZ*ONE has been working hard to please their global fans by presenting them a beautiful concert entitled “Oneiric Theatre” which is inspired by their latest album Oneiric Diary.
The Concept
The concept of “Oneiric Theatre” is really unique. The word oneiric itself refers to metaphor of dream-like-states because it is actually what IZ*ONE wanted to show to their WIZ*ONE, a dreamland which has four different dream islands, first is Twelve Rainbow Island, Starlight Island, Flower Garden Island and Sky Island.
The challenges of presenting their fans a beautiful dreamland has been successfully accomplished by using AR (Augmented reality) & XR (Expanded reality) technology to make the concepts look super realistic.

IZ*ONE presented their global fans with several of their magical songs like Secret Story of the Swan, Merry Go Round and their debut song Rococo in the beginning. They continued with O’My, Pretty, You & I, Memory, and Someday.
They didn’t only sing their original song but also covered some popular songs such as Cattalena from Orange Caramel, Monster from Red Velvet and Gangsta from Kehlani.
The highlight of the concert is when IZ*ONE sang some of their hit singles in medley accompanied by live band. They sang La Vie en Rose, Violeta and FIESTA to represents the Flower Garden Island concept.
