Through their agency Starship Entertainment, IVE said, "We are truly thankful and happy to be able to share happy moments with DIVE (official fandom name) since our comeback," and added, "Because DIVE always sends us great love, we are even more motivated in our activities, so please continue to cheer for us through the remainder of our promotions." They went on to add, "We once again thank everyone who loves IVE's music."
On the broadcast, IVE showcased the stage for their new song 'BLACKHOLE,' revealing a strong presence. Appearing in six distinct suit stylings, IVE heightened the immersion of the stage with a dynamic performance using a long table, and the members' charismatic group choreography combined with captivating vocals that seized the audience's ears overwhelmed the atmosphere on site. In particular, lively facial expressions, including the 'look at me' dance that uses the point choreography, amplified the immersion.
BANG BANG, which led IVE's winning streak, is a song that stands out for its intense energy based on EDM and electronic sounds, and it received a hot response with its addictive sound and intuitive performance. As proof of interest, 'BANG BANG' achieved a perfect all-kill (PAK) on the digital charts and topped the weekly charts as well, receiving a lot of love.

The other double title track, 'BLACKHOLE,' is a song in which cinematic sound and a shuffle rhythm harmonize, redefining IVE-style narcissism through assertive lyrics such as "If you want it, anything will come true" and further expanding IVE's unique narrative.
