IVE has added another trophy with their new song 'XOXZ'.

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.
