Debuted on December 1, 2021... Growing as a 4th Generation Icon
Comeback with New Album in January
Group IVE surprised fans by announcing their comeback next month with a new album to celebrate their 3rd debut anniversary.
On the 1st, their agency Starship Entertainment stated, "IVE is preparing their new album with great care, aiming to make a comeback in January 2025 as Starship's first act of the year," adding, "Please give lots of support to IVE as they take another leap forward."
IVE debuted on December 1, 2021, with "ELEVEN" and has since released hit songs such as "LOVE DIVE," "After Like," "I Am," and "Haya," establishing themselves as a leading 4th generation K-pop girl group.
They successfully concluded their first world tour, which began in October last year, with 37 performances across 28 cities in 19 countries. Among these, they sold out solo concerts at the KSPO Dome (Gymnastics Arena) in Olympic Park, known as the "holy ground of K-pop," and the Tokyo Dome in Japan, the "dream stage," attracting 95,000 attendees over two days, proving their prowess.
IVE also left a strong impression at global music festivals. They performed at the United States' Lollapalooza Chicago and Japan's SUMMER SONIC 2024, engraving their name in the minds of global fans. On July 20 next year, they will take the stage at Lollapalooza Paris held at Hippodrome ParisLongchamp in France, aiming to captivate European fans.
IVE is gaining worldwide attention, being the only K-pop artist included in Forbes' "30 Under 30 Asia" list announced last May. Riding this momentum, they plan to focus on global activities next year. They will release a new album next month and officially kick off their promotions.
IVE's new album will come nine months after their second mini-album, "IVE SWITCH," released in April this year. Through this new album, they are determined to showcase a clearer identity and diverse performances.
IVE leader An Yujin expressed through their agency, "I am grateful that DIVE (the fandom name) has always supported and waited by our side for the past three years, and I am so happy to have received so much love," adding, "In 2025, we will repay you with energetic and better music and performances."
