The members, styled with colorful blue and yellow eyeshadows and voluminous permed hair, create a dreamy mood with quiet music, stimulating curiosity in scenes where they whisper something. Midway, a scene where an angel emoji turns into devil horns shifts the atmosphere. The members reveal their hidden sides with confident poses, playful expressions, and free gestures, showcasing their cool and contrasting charm. Notably, Gaul posts a wanted poster of Rei, and scenes of searching for clues with a magnifying glass and evidence in a bag heighten viewers' curiosity. At the end of the video, the '[*****]' from the beginning changes to the word 'SECRET', leaving a lingering impression. The album 'IVE SECRET', set to release on the 25th, includes six tracks, featuring the title song 'XOXZ' with Wonyoung participating, and 'Midnight Kiss' with Liz contributing to the lyrics, enhancing its quality.
