‘MZ wannabe icon’ IVE (IVE: Ahn Yu-jin·Gaeul·Rei·Jang Won-young·Liz·Leeseo) signaled the start of a double-pronged hit through promotions for their new song.

After releasing their second full-length album ‘REVIVE+(Revive Plus)’ on the 23rd of last month and making their comeback, IVE appeared on Mnet ‘M Countdown’, KBS2 ‘Music Bank’, MBC ‘Show! Music Core’, and SBS ‘Inkigayo’, showcasing the stage for the double title track ‘BLACKHOLE(Blackhole)’.

For this stage, IVE completed a performance of overwhelming scale, featuring clever choreography using a long table and visualizing a ‘black hole’. The ‘Look at Me’ point move, which highlights each member’s individuality, drew eyes, while assertive lyrics such as ‘If I want it, anything will come true / Shine like my crown, boldly all the way / I have nothing to fear, I will show you something new’ are redefining IVE-style narcissism and garnering a heated response.

At the same time, the record-setting march of another double title track, ‘BANG BANG(Bang Bang)’, released on the 9th of last month, is still ongoing. In the week they unveiled their ‘Blackhole’ comeback stage, IVE lifted first-place trophies in succession on ‘M Countdown’, ‘Music Bank’, ‘Show! Music Core’, and ‘Inkigayo’ with ‘BANG BANG’, recording four music-show wins. In addition, as of 9 a.m. on the 2nd, ‘BANG BANG’ remains No. 1 on the real-time and daily charts of major domestic music services, continuing its Perfect All-Kill (PAK), thereby proving a solid ‘IVE syndrome’.

The second full-length album ‘Revive Plus’ expands the focus from the ‘self-assurance’ IVE has showcased to ‘us’, and, through diverse genres and narratives, proves a deepened musical spectrum. As the new song ‘Blackhole’ has not only settled in the upper ranks of domestic music charts but is also steadily rising on key overseas charts, expectations are mounting for a continued surge in popularity.

With the double title tracks of contrasting charms‘BANG BANG’, offering intense addictiveness, and ‘Blackhole’, drawing listeners in with an overwhelming performanceposting strong results and kicking off a double-pronged hit, attention is turning to the new records IVE will write with this round of activities.

Meanwhile, having successfully wrapped its first week of comeback activities with the new song ‘BLACKHOLE(Blackhole)’, IVE will continue promoting the new release through music shows and a variety of content.
