Additionally, the broadcast featured comeback stages from various artists. First, IVE made their return with their fourth mini-album 'IVE SECRET,' showcasing the title track 'XOXZ' and exuding dreamlike and sophisticated charm.
IVE's new song 'XOXZ' is inspired by the English expression 'XOXO,' creating a new term unique to IVE. The song conveys the message "I love you, sleep well. And let's meet in dreams" as a sort of code, expressing the complexity of hidden attitudes and emotions rather than a single feeling.
Next, Sunmi performed her new song 'BLUE!' showcasing poignant band sounds while playing the bass guitar.
Sunmi's new song 'BLUE!' captures the brightest and most beautiful sparkling moments of youth, which were also unstable and tumultuous, featuring a band sound enhanced by dreamlike textures, expressing the resonance of an unstable inner self with more amplitude.
Teen Top, celebrating their 15th anniversary, released a new mini-album 'Just 15, Just Teen Top' and made their comeback. Teen Top, performing their title track 'Cherry Pie,' caught attention with a more mature atmosphere and synchronized choreography.
Teen Top's new song 'Cherry Pie' depicts the first moment of love that suddenly arrived in a life filled with darkness, comparing the warmth and sweet emotions given by longtime fans to a cherry pie.
