'MZ wannabe icon' IVE (IVE: An Yujin·Gaeul·Ray·Jang Wonyoung·Liz·Lee Seo) revealed the leader An Yujin's video, completing the puzzle of the coming soon videos.
Starship Entertainment posted the new record coming soon film 'An Yujin edition' on IVE's official SNS channels on Feb. 23.
In the released video, An Yujin's segment began with her spending a languid day inside a room. Lying on a blue grass mat blowing bubblegum, or enjoying leisure in a white knit in a sunlit room, the scenes evoked a youthful film. Especially, her clear, deep gaze at the camera while on a blue blanket and her pure visuals created An Yujin's characteristic dreamy atmosphere and captivated viewers.
But the tranquil mood took a turn with a sharp alarm from the digital clock on the table. The digital clock placed next to a car key with a red ribbon keyring, lying side by side, began a countdown to 6 p.m. on Feb. 9 as the alarm sounded, and the accompanying guitar riff was identical to the melody in the preceding members' videos, heightening immersion.
Along with this, the 'car key' placed beside the clock recalled the red old car in the preceding coming soon film for Liz, hinting at a link between the films. In this way, IVE densely built the narrative through clues in each released coming soon video, completing a cinematic series like an omnibus film with sensuous visuals that highlight each member's charms. With the release of An Yujin's video unveiling all members' coming soon films and continuing to generate buzz day after day, curiosity is growing over what music and content will showcase the stature of the 'IVE syndrome' once again through the pre-release on Feb. 9 ahead of the full comeback.
An Yujin has continued to be active as IVE's leader and an all-arounder representing K-pop. Building on solid vocal skills, she broadened her musical spectrum by participating in drama OSTs and by contributing lyrics to IVE's first full-length album track 'Heroine.' Through various entertainment programs such as tvN's Earth Arcade series, Netflix's Crime Scene Returns, and Zero, she demonstrated distinctive variety show skills. Recently, she proved her popularity as an 'MZ wannabe icon' by winning the female variety idol category at the 2026 Korea First Brand Awards. As An Yujin continues activities spanning music to variety, attention is focused on what new charms she will use to captivate K-pop listeners with this new release.
Meanwhile, IVE is set to make its first comeback of the new year at the end of February, and is expected to release the pre-release track on the 9th.
