In the released poster, Pentagon showed a warm atmosphere while leaning against each other against the backdrop of the Milky Way in the night sky where daisy petals flutter.[6] The keyword 'L:VE' can be interpreted in various meanings and is expecting to show a variety of appearances to their fans.[4] The tickets can be purchased through Interpark from November 26.[6][7] We L:ve's official merchandise was available; pre-sale from November 11-16 and general sale began on November 17.[8] A series of behind-the-scene pictures, special clips and videos were posted everyday on the group's official social media accounts.[9][10][11]

On November 28, Pentagon announced through their social media accounts that their online concert 'WE L:VE' was postponed as Yeo One and Pentagon is self-quarantine. Yeo One underwent voluntary COVID-19 testing because he was in the same location with someone who tested positive. His result was confirmed negative. Cube stated, "To prevent any unexpected circumstances, the rest of Pentagon members decided to get tested for COVID-19 and self-quarantine themselves.", and further apologized to those who have been waiting for the concert.[12][13]

On December 3, Pentagon announced the rescheduled date for '2020 Pentagon Online Concert [WE L:VE]' slated for December 13 at 3pm KST.[14]

After the end of the countdown, Pentagon opened the stage with intense stages such as "Basquiat", "Gorilla" and "Can You Feel It".[15] After the songs, Pentagon took a breather to interact with their fans as they introduced themselves and greeted fans in various languages such as Japanese, Hindi, French, and German and more.[16] The member apologized saying, "We should have had a concert two weeks ago, but I'm sorry to see you only now. It's a more confusing time than ever. I am really grateful for being able to meet you on the stage like this." Next was, "The Black Hall", a song that had been much requested by their fans for the group to perform. In Chapter II - We L:ve with Color, the group performed unit stages according to the member's personality, starting with a supercool performance by Hui and Shinwon. The duo performed their unreleased self-composed song "WTH", which was unveiled for the first time. The second unit performance was performed by Yuto and Wooseok. They presented a fun hip-hop stage wherein they performed the tracks, "Poison (독)", "Always Difficult Always Beautiful", and "Repeat:II (도돌이표)". Yanan and Hongseok presented a warm winter sensibility with Ailee's "I Will Go to You Like the First Snow". Lastly, Yeo One and Kino showcased a rendition of Taemin's "Move".[15] On this day, Jinho, a member who enlisted in the military in May, watched the performance online and communicated in real time through comments, giving a different fun and impression. Jinho showed off his strong friendship by sending passionate support to each stage of the Pentagon. Fans also responded with comments, and held comment events such as 'I love Pentagon' and 'We are always with Pentagon'.[1] Next, Pentagon start with a classroom skit during Chapter III - We L:ve Young, where Pentagon members introduced themselves, including member Jinho to their teacher Yeo One and their new classmate Kino.[16] They continued to present stages with their hit songs from "Happiness" (Korean version), "Shine", "Naughty Boy" and "Spring Snow".[15] During Chapter IV - We L:ve on Stage, the group expressed the meaning of 'stage' means to them. Hui expressed that the stage is not just his workplace but also his battlefield where he feels most pressured and where he has the most hardships and where it brings him the greatest pain. The stage is also a place that brings me the greatest happiness, as well as the greatest joy and achievements. It is a space where contradicting emotions exist". In this section, Pentagon performed never-before-seen "Paradise (별이 빛나는 이 밤)" and "You Like" as well as "Sha La La" and "Daisy". Before the final chapter We L:ve in Universe, a special video "To Universe" with words from Pentagon for their fans was displayed. Next was "Nostalgia" as an encore song where they showed the unibong choreography made by member Kino.
