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. It expresses that IVE depicts who they are now while making listeners want to know more about their future, and that they are a group that keeps expanding their world and creating new scenes in every aspect, from image to music, without stopping at one answer. In addition, the "SPIN-OFF: CRUMBS FILM," released on the 26th at 6 p.m., expands the meaning of a hero as someone who creates positive change in reality, just as heroes in movies give dreams and courage to someone even outside the screen. In Japan, the EP is on sale with store-specific purchase bonuses at various CD shops, including selfie photo cards and serial numbers for prize drawings. 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.
