IVE has added another trophy with their new song 'XOXZ'. On the 19th, during the broadcast of SBS 'Popular Song', the title track 'XOXZ' from IVE's 4th mini album 'IVE SECRET' won first place for the third week of October. Following the trophy won on the 18th's MBC 'Show! Music Core', 'XOXZ' has achieved five wins on music programs. With a month having passed since the end of its activities, attention is focused on their future movements. Furthermore, the MC of 'Popular Song', Iso, received the trophy on behalf of the group, which became a topic of discussion. In response, IVE conveyed their gratitude through their agency STARSHIP Entertainment on the 20th. They expressed, 'Thanks to the unwavering support and love we received even after our activities ended, we believe 'XOXZ' was able to win first place again. We want to express our gratitude to everyone at the company and staff who worked with us during the 'XOXZ' activities, and to our fans, DIVE, who always send us great love.' Released in August, 'XOXZ' is a song inspired by the English expression 'XOXO', featuring a new term 'XOXZ' in IVE's style. It expresses the message 'I love you, good night. And let's meet in dreams' like a code, boldly and delicately depicting feelings that do not end with simple emotions. Earlier this year, starting with 'REBEL HEART', which achieved a 'Perfect All Kill' on Korean domestic charts, followed by the hit 'ATTITUDE', and now 'XOXZ', IVE has recorded three consecutive hits, dominating the playlists of music fans both domestically and internationally. 'REBEL HEART' achieved 11 wins, 'ATTITUDE' 4 wins, and 'XOXZ' 5 wins, bringing their total to 20 music program trophies this year, solidifying the 'IVE Syndrome'. They will open their world tour 'IVE WORLD TOUR 'SHOW WHAT I AM'' at the Seoul KSPO DOME from October 31 to November 2, raising expectations for their future global activities.
