IVE emits six colors of charm, raising expectations for their comeback. On the 16th, their agency STARSHIP Entertainment released the second concept photo for the 4th EP 'IVE SECRET' through IVE's official SNS. The released photo further expresses the atmosphere of the previously unveiled mood sampler, receiving a hot response. From Yujin, who exudes cool charisma, to Gaul, who showcases new charm with curly hair, Rei showing unique individuality, Wonyoung completing an adorable visual with long hair, Liz standing out with pink hair, and Iso radiating photogenic charm, each of the six members caught attention with different colors. The subsequent unit cuts highlighted the members' chemistry, while the group cut maximized IVE's diverse charm, attracting attention. In future promotions, various concepts themed around the album name 'IVE SECRET' are planned. The title track 'XOXZ', releasing on the 25th, features impressive low rap and minimal vocal harmonies over 808 bass, brass, and heavy drums. The lyrics were completed in collaboration between lyricist Seo Ji-eum, who created the 'Narcissism Trilogy' with 'ELEVEN', 'LOVE DIVE', and 'After LIKE', and member Wonyoung, raising fan expectations. IVE debuted in December 2021 with 'ELEVEN' and has continued on a 'non-stop large crowd road', establishing their position as a representative K-POP group. They achieved five consecutive million-sellers with the 3rd EP 'IVE EMPATHY' released in February, recorded a 'perfect all-kill' on major domestic charts with the pre-released song 'REBEL HEART', and showcased strong music power. Last month, they performed at Lollapalooza, successfully completing shows in Berlin and Paris, proving their global popularity once again. As they leave notable achievements beyond Korea, anticipation is rising for their fresh whirlwind in the K-POP scene with the 4th EP 'IVE SECRET' and title track 'XOXZ'. IVE will announce the 4th EP 'IVE SECRET' and title track 'XOXZ' through various music streaming sites at 6 PM on the 25th, entering their comeback activities.
