IVE has shone as the champion of two music programs. IVE won first place in the 4th week of February with the double title track 'BANG BANG' from their 2nd full album 'REVIVE+' on KBS 2TV's 'Music Bank' aired yesterday (27th). This marks their record of being the champion of two music programs following 'M COUNTDOWN'. Through their agency STARSHIP Entertainment, they conveyed their feelings, saying, 'We are truly happy to be able to be with DIVE (the name of their fans) through the stage, and we are grateful to receive such a good result of being number one twice.' They added, 'Since this is our 2nd full album, we have worked hard for a long time, and we are really happy to receive so much love. We will do our best to repay you with better stages and music, using the support you always send us as our strength.' On this day’s broadcast, IVE took the stage of 'Music Bank' with another title track 'BLACKHOLE' from their 2nd full album. They appeared in styling that matched a far crop jacket with a black skirt, captivating attention with their unique dignified yet elegant mood. Starting with Liz's fantastical singing voice in the intro, Yujin's high notes resonated refreshingly in the latter part, proving IVE's unwavering live performance skills and elevating the atmosphere. The performance utilizing a long table boasted overwhelming scale like the song title 'BLACKHOLE', and the isolation dance using the hook lyrics 'Look at me' induced strong addiction. Previously, with 'BANG BANG', IVE recorded the first perfect all-kill among songs released in 2026, dominating the daily charts of major domestic music platforms and becoming the center of attention. Following this, the title track 'BLACKHOLE' released on the 23rd and other tracks have established themselves on charts both domestically and internationally, proving their enduring popularity once again. IVE will continue their activities today on MBC's 'Show Music Core' with the title track 'BLACKHOLE'.
