The group IVE has sparked excitement for their comeback with six members showcasing their unique charms.
On the 16th, their agency Starship Entertainment revealed the second concept photo for IVE's fourth mini album 'IVE SECRET' through IVE's official social media.
The revealed photo diversifies the atmosphere presented in the previously unveiled mood sampler and garnered a warm response. From the cool charisma of An Yujin and the new allure of Ga-eul with her Kurly hair, to the unique charm of Rei, the lovely visuals completed by Jang Wonyoung with her bang hair, the individuality expressed by Liz with her pink hair, and the photogenic charm of Lee Seo, the six members captivated attention in different colors.
In the subsequent unit cuts, the members' distinctive chemistry stood out, while the group cut maximized IVE's multifaceted charm, providing a visual treat.
In particular, various concepts themed around 'SECRET' from the album title 'IVE SECRET' will be unveiled in the upcoming promotions.
The title track 'XOXZ' from the mini album 'IVE SECRET', set to be released on the 25th, is an impressive song characterized by deep rap and minimal vocal harmonies, laid over an 808 bass, brass, and heavy drums. Lyricist Seo Ji-eum, who created the 'Narcissism trilogy' with tracks 'ELEVEN', 'LOVE DIVE', and 'After LIKE', collaborated with member Jang Wonyoung to complete the lyrics, raising fans' expectations.
Debuting in December 2021 with the song 'ELEVEN', IVE has continued its 'nonstop trend' and established itself as a representative group of K-pop. With their third mini album 'IVE EMPATHY' released in February, they achieved five consecutive million sellers and showcased their powerful music capabilities by recording a 'perfect all kill' on major domestic music charts with the pre-released track 'REBEL HEART.'
Last month, they also made a splash at the world's four major music festivals, Lollapalooza, successfully completing performances in Berlin and Paris, further proving their global popularity. As they continue to achieve remarkable results on the world stage, expectations are high for their new release 'IVE SECRET' and the title track 'XOXZ', which are set to create fresh waves in the K-pop scene once again.
IVE will announce their fourth mini album 'IVE SECRET' and the title track 'XOXZ' on various music sites at 6 p.m. (Korean time) on the 25th and will kick off their comeback activities.
