IVE is making a comeback!
On July 31, STARSHIP Entertainment released six captivating moving posters on IVE’s social media channels, announcing the group’s comeback with their fourth mini album, ‘IVE SECRET’.
The teaser poster features each member with a unique object. From a toy gun, a pig with wings, a perfume bottle, a paper crane, a mobile phone, to a tumbler, the teasers show the backs of the six members holding the items. This intensifies the secretive, dreamy mood and teases the upcoming lead track, ‘XOXZ’.

Adding to the excitement, a teaser of ‘XOXZ’ was previously pre-released during the 2025 SBS Gayo Daejeon Summer, receiving an overwhelming response from fans and heightening anticipation for the full release.
This marks IVE’s first Korean comeback in seven months since their third mini album, ‘IVE EMPATHY’, was released earlier this year. The album earned them five consecutive million-seller records and 15 music show wins, including 11 for ‘REBEL HEART’ and 4 for ‘ATTITUDE’.
Most recently, IVE dropped their third Japanese EP, ‘Be Alright’, on July 30. The album includes two original tracks: ‘Be Alright’ and ‘DARE ME’, along with Japanese versions of ‘Accendio’, ‘Blue Heart’, and ‘WOW’.
IVE’s fourth mini album, ‘IVE SECRET’, is set to drop on August 25 at 6 PM KST (2:30 PM IST).
