IVE is officially returning this summer!
On July 24 KST, STARSHIP Entertainment confirmed that IVE is preparing for a comeback slated for the end of August, marking their first return in six months since their EP ‘IVE EMPATHY’ released in February this year.
IVE’s last pre-release single, ‘REBEL HEART’, made waves across the charts, achieving a perfect all-kill on all six major Korean music platforms and collecting 11 trophies on domestic music shows. Alongside the title track ‘ATTITUDE’, the album earned a total of 15 music show wins and became IVE’s fifth consecutive million-seller, solidifying their chart-dominating streak.
In addition to their record-breaking album, IVE reached another milestone with their music festival appearances this month. After performing on the main stages at Lollapalooza Berlin and Paris this year, they became the first K-pop girl group to perform in three Lollapalooza cities, including Lollapalooza Chicago in 2024, over two consecutive years.
Meanwhile, IVE is scheduled to drop their 3rd Japanese EP ‘Be Alright’ on July 30 and perform during halftime at the ‘Coupang Play Series Game 1’ between Team K League and Newcastle United F.C. at Suwon World Cup Stadium the same day.
