IVE's visuals shone particularly bright. IVE adorned the cover of the March issue of fashion and lifestyle magazine "Cosmopolitan." IVE won the "Cosmopolitan Artist Award" at the 40th Golden Disc Awards. A special cover project was conducted to commemorate the brilliant significance of this award and the dazzling presence that IVE has built with their unique music and iconic style. The group cut was shot backstage at the Golden Disc Awards held in January this year at Taipei Dome, Taiwan. Individual covers of each member were also released. The concepts of the six individual covers, capturing each member's charm, were inspired by IVE's songs that excite listeners. The impressive lyrics of numerous hit songs served as keywords for each. Yujin's cover, which invigorated the shooting site with her refreshing bright energy, was conducted under the "Victory" concept. The gravure, expressing a positive "Queen's Mind" like her bold voice that introduced IVE's representative song, was shot in collaboration with the jewelry house Pomellato, showcasing colorful gemstones. As the new semester and new season approach, Gaul teamed up with the brand "Polène." This gravure, themed "IT GIRL," expresses the "now's Gaul" who shines anywhere and anytime. In the released cover, Gaul paired the new 2026 collection piece "Cyme Tote Edition Textured Dark Cherry" from "Polène," showcasing a classic yet sensory styling. The deep dark cherry color and leather silhouette harmonized beautifully with Gaul, receiving much praise from the site. Sometimes cute, sometimes chic, Rei displayed a diverse charm that could not be confined to a single image in front of the camera. As an ambassador for Romiu, Rei reinterpreted the brand's diverse lens collection in her own mood. She expressively showcased the temperature and atmosphere of her gaze, which changed with the color and design of the lenses. Wearing various lenses, Rei completed entirely different atmospheres with each cut, earning praise from the staff. Wonyoung, who perfectly understood the theme "Bad Girl," overwhelmed the site with a fashion model-like aura. She effortlessly posed to highlight Bulgari's jewelry as an ambassador, and the shoot progressed smoothly, with cheers for her perfect beauty from every angle. Heading into spring, Liz approached the shoot with the fragrance brand "Juliette Has a Gun," depicting a fairy-like figure in a fantastical manner under the theme "ENCHANTING." She plans to showcase a wide range of moods, from refreshing and cool to mysterious and elegant, alongside the brand's diverse perfumes. Lastly, Iso captured a deeper atmosphere and elegant presence in her gravure under the concept "Royal" with Gucci. In the released cuts, she showcased styling that traverses classic and modern, expressing both the freshness of being 20 and a mature mood, completing perfect cuts. After the shoot, interviews were conducted. Yujin, loved for her sincere and hardworking demeanor in any scene, shared her secret to making the opportunities given to her "hers": "What I always think is cool is someone who is always working hard. I strive not to neglect anything. Everything I am doing now is something I feel I am building up one by one." Gaul, as a fifth-year debut artist, expressed, "I have confidence in loving and believing in myself." She noted that the process of solidifying her unique color and charm was possible because of DIVE (IVE's fans), stating, "Thanks to the fans' interest, I was able to grow more and unleash my potential." Sometimes cute, sometimes mature, Rei, who has always shown diverse charms to DIVE, said, "A rainbow is not just one color, but various colors. Like that rainbow, I want to show endless diversity." Wonyoung, who never loses herself in any situation, revealed that her core is similar to "FUN FEARLESS FEMALE." "When starting something new, I tend to be bold. I think that kind of attitude can make people feel happy. So I think the keyword 'FFF' really suits me," she expressed, candidly showcasing her strong core. Meanwhile, Liz, feeling that IVE is already a fifth-year debut artist, stated, "The most important goal is not to forget the original intention as the years go by," and continued with a bright and positive answer, "If I always do my best and enjoy every day, I think I can grow naturally." The youngest member of IVE, Iso, who turned 20 this year, welcomed 2026 as a meaningful year. She expressed, "Every day feels like a dream," and shared her aspiration to grow into a person with her own standards, saying, "I want to live firmly rooted within the standards I set for myself, not being swayed by anything." The six individual covers of IVE, along with the group cover and many more gravure photos, will be published in the March issue and on the website. Interviews and digital content filled with IVE's candid thoughts will also be released sequentially through the website and social media.
