Girl group IVE (IVE) members Ahn Yu-jin and Ray stimulated curiosity about their second full-length album through campaign films.

Starship Entertainment, the agency, posted the contents of Ray and Ahn Yu-jin sequentially on its official SNS in IVE on the 14th, "THE NARCISSISTIC GURLS CAMPAIGN" of its second full-length album "REVIVE+" scheduled to be released on the 23rd.

The released photos and short videos showed the two members defining self-love in their own way. First, Ray completed a trendy mood with kitschy headphones and styling featuring nail art. Along with the caption "Skill: Selective Listening," Ray's immersion in his world and music despite the uproar around him revealed a subjective attitude that focused on his inner self and what he liked rather than others' eyes or situations. In particular, in the scene of sitting around with the members and focusing on meditation, the narration, "I'm just pretty / No reason / Existence is reason" is added, releasing narcissism with a confident energy of self-positivity.

Ahn Yu-jin, who appeared in full-bang hairstyling, delivered a witty message through an onion experiment. In the experiment, Ahn Yu-jin drew attention by expressing "I love you" on onions that read "I love you" while expressing "I don't love you" instead of direct expression on onions that need to be heard "bad words." Through this, even the language of negativity was redefined as the standard of love, imprinting the message 'Attitude: Girls Full of Love!' Then, he held a cookie and completed the "The Narcissistic Girls Campaign" by adding a lovely charm along with the words "I love you" and "I love you (me) too."

Ahn Yu-jin and Ray are continuing their active activities not only in team activities but also in individual areas. First of all, Ahn Yu-jin won the entertainment idol category at the "2026 Korea First Brand Awards" in January, recognizing her entertainment skills through the tvN "Pyong-Pyong-Pyong-Earth Entertainment Room" series and Netflix's "Crime Scene" Returns and Zero, as well as hosting skills for the fourth and sixth consecutive year of SBS's "Music Awards." Ray was recognized as a "trend setter" last year, leading the trend on TikTok and other platforms, and received the "Best Trend Leader" award at the "TikTok Awards 2025."

Through this report, IVE plans to expand its direction from the existing "self-love" and "self-confidence" narratives to a self-regarding and loving attitude. The new narrative of the second full-length album, which broadens its gaze from "I" to "Us," is expected to lead to the title song "BLACKHOLE" and mark the beginning of a new chapter.

"BANG BANG", which was pre-released on the 9th, settled at the top of domestic and foreign music charts immediately after its release, proving its powerful music power and popularity at the same time.

IVE's second full-length album "REVIVE+" will be released on various online music sites at 6 p.m. (KST) on the 23rd.
