In this video, IVE recreates the concepts and outfits from the time of the "LOVE DIVE" activities. Furthermore, a special arrangement audio combining the original song and a "PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS" song will also be unveiled for the first time in this video. Prior to this, on Tuesday, October 27, the collaboration key visual was released, and at 18:00 on the same day, a teaser trailer introducing special areas on the map "Rondo" and some items was released.

IVE, which debuted in Korea in 2021 and has rapidly grown into a global phenomenon, has released its EP "Looks Can Kill." The six-track EP includes the title song "Looks Can Kill," which was pre-released on October 19 at 6 p.m. The work begins with the concept of a "hero who can deliver a fatal blow simply by existing." While continuing the "Girl Fantasy" character IVE has shown so far, it presents a new "Girl Hero" as another ego following Cupid and a magical girl.

To commemorate the start of EP distribution, music streaming services are also running campaigns offering signed solo instant photos and group wide instant photos, drawing attention.
