The group IVE (IVE: Ahn Yujin·Gaeul·Ray·Jang Wonyoung·Liz·Leeseo) will make a comeback in Korea's pop music scene in February ahead of their second world tour.
Starship Entertainment said on the 17th, "IVE is aiming to return at the end of February and is concentrating on final work to achieve a more complete album."
This comeback comes about six months after the release of their fourth mini album last August, IVE SECRET. Starting with "LOVE DIVE," released in 2022, IVE exceeded 1 million copies in total sales through the fourth mini album, becoming "seven consecutive million sellers." Beginning with the "perfect all-kill (PAK)" of "REBEL HEART," last year IVE hit with "ATTITUDE" and "XOXZ," winning 20 trophies on music shows. They also recorded 28 awards, including grand prizes at earlier award ceremonies, continuing the stature of the "IVE syndrome."
Their achievements in the global market are also remarkable. IVE topped Billboard's Emerging Artists chart and appeared on the Billboard Artist 100 as well as the World Albums, Top Current Album Sales, Top Album Sales, and Global (excluding U.S.) charts, and at year-end was named one of Billboard and The Hollywood Reporter's "2025 best K-pop songs," recognizing their expanded musicality. Last year, they performed at Lollapalooza in Berlin and Paris, becoming the first K-pop girl group to perform in three cities over two consecutive years. They then solidified their status as a "global festival powerhouse" by appearing at Japan's Rock in Japan Festival 2025.
Meanwhile, after finishing their February comeback activities, IVE will embark on full-scale global activities with their second world tour, "SHOW WHAT I AM." Having opened the world tour in October last year at Seoul KSPO Dome, IVE has confirmed an April concert at Kyocera Dome Osaka in Japan and will continue touring in various countries across Asia, Europe, the Americas and Oceania to meet global fans.<
