Starship Entertainment received a double celebration. "Sisters" group IVE (IVE) and Kiki (KiiiKiii) have occupied the music charts. It's a festival. Starship Entertainment's two girl groups are competing in good faith at the top of the chart. IVE and Kiki, the "fourth-generation representative" and "monster newcomer," are double-jumping K-pop charts beyond the "competition for one-handed rice." Their report cards attract the public's attention in themselves.
◆In the 'Global Syndrome'..the strength of IVE
IVE (Ahn Yu-jin, Autumn, Ray, Jang Won-young, Liz, and Lee Seo), who was recognized as a "song queen" at the awards ceremony, including the Asian Artist Awards 2025 (AAA2025) held last year, dominated popularity and global fandom with a series of mega hits. The song "BANG BANG" (Bang Bang), from the 2nd studio album "REVIVE+," which was pre-released on the 9th, ranked No. 1 on YouTube at the same time as its release, and added a winning spirit with a new concept and musical transformation. Immediately after its release, it instantly settled in the top 10 of the major charts, and is ranking alongside Kiki. It is showing off its powerful sound source power without being swayed. "IVE" is a part that adds to the trust of the evaluation as a "song source queen."
◆Unexpected drama of 'Zhenjimi' Kiki, who broke the Mellon chart's ironcladness
What stands out the most is the fierce momentum of the five-member Kiki (Jiyu, Isol, Sui, Haum, Kiya) less than a year after their debut. The title song "404 (New Era)" of the mini second album "Delulu Pack," released on January 26, topped the Melon TOP 100 chart on February 10, 16 days after its release. In the early days of this comeback, the initial sales of the album decreased slightly compared to its debut, and there were certainly concerns. However, Kiki broke through it only with the power of music. It is all the more valuable because it was achieved by a rookie group on the chart, where the "strong pitch" was clear. The title song of the "Delulu Pack" "404 (New Era)" is a witty feature that solves the website error code "404" with freedom that exists without coordinates and addictive house beats that add Y2K sensibility to Gen Z's taste. It topped major music charts such as YouTube Music and Bugs.
◆ Positive synergy of K-pop, their beautiful companion
The chart occupation shown by IVE and Kiki is meaningful beyond the double slope of the agency Starship Entertainment. On top of IVE's solidly established popular success formula, Kiki is revitalizing her own "foolish freedom" with a weapon. Kiki, who still maintains a solid throne and makes way for the IVE, has made a fresh splash on music charts that were as solid as concrete. We sincerely support their pleasant companions on what kind of music and stage "Starship Sisters" will entertain the public's eyes and ears in the future.
