Major U.S. foreign media focused on the news of the group IVE (IVE, Ahn Yu-jin, Autumn, Ray, Jang Won-young, Liz, and Lee Seo).

On the 3rd (local time), the U.S. music media Billboard highlighted IVE's second full-length album "REVIVE+" released on the 23rd of last month.

Billboard said, "IVE's new album presents a more refined musical direction," adding, "A strong group song that expands the sound, and solo songs that reveal each member's personality and musical spectrum are harmoniously combined."

"We have opened a new era in which we further expand the meaning of the name 'IVE' as an individual and a group while maintaining the team's unique chemistry," he added, noting that the solo tracks of all members in the second regular album were included.

In particular, the pre-released double title song "BANG BANG" was released on the 9th of last month prior to the release of its second full-length album, which first introduced the new musical direction and energy presented by the album through the intense sound and subjective message of the EDM genre.

This interest from foreign media is also leading to actual chart performance. According to the latest chart released by Billboard on the 3rd (March 7), "Bang Bang" has been on the Billboard Global 200 and Billboard Global Excl. U.S. charts for two consecutive weeks. The new report 'Revive Plus' also entered the Billboard 'World Albums' chart at No. 19, proving IVE's global influence.

The regional charts also showed an even upward trend. "Bang Bang" has been in third place for two consecutive weeks on the Billboard Korea Hot 100 chart (March 7), and continues to be highly popular, ranking fourth on the "Global K-Song" chart. In addition, the Billboard Japan "Hot 100" chart and three regional song charts in Asia succeeded in charting for two consecutive weeks, proving the keen interest of global fans.

In addition to the Billboard chart, IVE continues to perform on various music platforms. The second full-length album "Revive Plus" showed its presence in the global market by ranking 7th in Spotify's "Weekly Top Album Debut Global" and 8th in the "Weekly Top Album Debut U.S." In particular, the pre-release song "Bang Bang" topped major domestic music platforms in real time and daily charts, topping the weekly charts and winning four music broadcasts. In addition, it maintained a perfect all-kill as of 10 a.m. on the 4th, re-proving the powerful "IVE syndrome" that encompasses both domestic and foreign countries.

As such, IVE is showing its presence as a hit maker by simultaneously garnering favorable reviews from foreign media and global chart performance through its second full-length album "Revive Plus."

Meanwhile, IVE will appear on Mnet's "M Countdown," which will air at 6 p.m. on the 5th, and continue its activities with another title song "BLACKHOLE" (Black Hole) from its second full-length album.
