Rei and Liz of IVE previewed the mysterious story of their new album through a coming soon film. Their agency, STARSHIP Entertainment, released the coming soon films 'Rei Edition' and 'Liz Edition' today (22nd) via IVE's official SNS. First, Rei's footage starts with her cutely gearing up while holding nunchucks. In an interview, Rei spoke in Japanese, saying, 'I heard whistling from the hallway, so I went out, but no one was there.' She continued in a calm tone, 'Only a really nice scent remains. Well, I can tolerate that kind of sound.' However, on the other hand, she showed a sharp expression, violently hit a doll, and kicked a vending machine. The contrast between Rei's calm interview and her intense actions left a strong impression, further heightening curiosity for the new album. Particularly, Rei's interview content recalls the whistling sound and sightings mentioned in the previously released coming soon films of Wonyoung and Iso, suggesting that the story is interconnected. Following Rei, Liz's coming soon film was also released. In the footage, Liz is seen in a red car, wearing bright red lipstick and smiling. After closing the trunk and departing, a poster searching for Liz caught the eye. IVE is scheduled for their first comeback of the new year at the end of February, with a pre-release track set to drop on the 9th.
