'MZ wannabe icon' IVE (Ahn Yu-jin, Ga-eul, Rae, Jang Won-young, Liz, Lee Seo) has revealed all concept photos for their new album and completed their comeback preparations.
The agency Starship Entertainment released the final concept photo of the upcoming fourth mini album 'IVE SECRET' on the official IVE social media on the 20th.
In the released photo, IVE exudes overwhelming charisma in outfits that highlight the contrast of black and white. The members completed a simple yet intense mood by matching white T-shirts with black shorts and boots, and their T-shirts displayed lettering such as 'Killin' Cute', 'I'm lovely TROUBLE', and 'PRETTY RUDE', showcasing their individual identities.
In particular, the group shot reached a peak with a chic yet provocative cover girl mood, stirring the global fanbase. Despite minimalist styling, all six members expressed their unique charms and the team's characteristic confidence, showcasing the pinnacle of the 'pretty but dangerous' cover girl concept and heightening expectations for their comeback.
IVE officially started their comeback preparations by unveiling part of their new title track 'XOXZ' through the '2025 K-Pop Festival Summer'. They subsequently elevated anticipation by releasing various teasers related to the album title 'IVE SECRET' with the theme of 'secret', and recently drew explosive reactions by pre-releasing performance highlights and audio through a dance challenge.
IVE solidified their presence in various global charts and music shows with their mini album 'IVE EMPATHY', pre-release track 'REBEL HEART', and title track 'ATTITUDE', which were released in February. As the world's music fans focus on their comeback after about seven months, anticipation builds over what new records IVE will set with their new album 'IVE SECRET' and title track 'XOXZ'.
Meanwhile, IVE will release their mini album 'IVE SECRET' and title track 'XOXZ' on the 25th at 6 p.m. (KST) through various music streaming platforms and will begin their full-fledged comeback activities.
