The girl group IVE has captivated global fans with its diverse activities.
On the 14th, IVE appeared on the popular Japanese music program 'Venue 101.' That day, IVE guest-starred, captivating attention not only with witty talk but also with the first live performance of their new song 'DARE ME.'
IVE, appearing in lovely red-toned styling, brightened the venue. Through various talks with the MCs, they shared small stories like memories of songs from 10 years ago and their favorite foods, showcasing their innate sense of entertainment, and radiated a cheerful atmosphere through the 'APT.' game, delivering a delightful talk show.
They also unveiled the stage of IVE's Japanese original new song 'DARE ME,' released on April 21st, drawing passionate responses not only from the venue but also from fans. They displayed solid live performance with dreamy vocals and showcased refreshing stages filled with IVE's unique freshness through synchronization movements using benches. Particularly, Gaeul, Rey, An Yujin, and Jang Wonyoung enhanced the warm mood of the song with partner dances that seemed to hold hands or lean on each other.
'DARE ME' is the opening song for the Japanese NTV Sunday drama 'Dame manene! - Talent that doesn't sell, manages!', and after its release, it entered the Billboard Japan 'Hot Shot Songs' chart and 'Download Songs' chart, proving IVE's hot local popularity by also entering the Line Music 'Top 100' weekly chart and Rakuten Music's latest weekly chart.
