'MZ wannabe icon' IVE (An Yujin, Gaeul, Rei, Jang Wonyoung, Liz, Lee Seo) will return with their mini album 'IVE SECRET' on the 25th.
The agency Starship Entertainment revealed the comeback news on the 31st of last month through IVE's official SNS channels, posting a moving poster for their fourth mini album 'IVE SECRET'.
The released moving poster captivates attention with unique objects representing the six members and their individual colors. Featuring figures of baby animals with wings, moving paper cranes, tumblers, and toy guns with wings coming out of the muzzle, these unique objects suggest different symbolism and meanings, sparking fans' curiosity.
In particular, the back view of the members holding the objects creates an atmosphere as if they are hiding something, heightening the secretive and dreamlike mood of the new album. Additionally, the phrase "'XOXZ' coming soon" shared on social media hints that the title track is 'XOXZ', further increasing anticipation for the comeback.
'IVE SECRET' is a new release about seven months after the third mini album 'IVE EMPATHY', which was released in February. IVE has proven its powerful album impact by achieving five consecutive million sellers with 'IVE EMPATHY', and with the pre-release track 'REBEL HEART' and the title track 'ATTITUDE', they garnered a total of 15 music show wins ('REBEL HEART' 11 wins, 'ATTITUDE' 4 wins), establishing a distinct presence.
On the 25th, IVE will continue their success with the new album 'IVE SECRET' and the title track 'XOXZ'. Previously, they gained explosive responses from global fans by surprising them with a sneak peek of the title track 'XOXZ' during the '2025 SBS Gayo Daejeon Summer'. Expectations are high for their activities that will dominate playlists this year.
Meanwhile, IVE is set to release their fourth mini album 'IVE SECRET' and the title track 'XOXZ' on the 25th and will begin their full-fledged comeback activities.
