Group IVE (IVE) wrapped up its activities with a brilliant performance.

IVE (Ahn Yu-jin, Autumn, Ray, Jang Won-young, Liz, and Lee Seo) marked the grand finale of the activities of "BANG BANG" and "BLACKHOLE", the double title song of their second studio album "REVIVE+" after the SBS "Inkigayo" stage aired on the 8th.

The IVE is Mnet's "M Countdown," KBS 2TV's "Music Bank," MBC's "Show!" They performed "Black Hole" and "Bang Bang" on "Music Core" and SBS "Inkigayo." Among them, "Music Bank" and "Show!" In "Music Core" and "Inkigayo," "Bang Bang" topped terrestrial music broadcasts for two consecutive weeks, ending a meaningful period. As a result, IVE won seven "Bang Bang" and one "Black Hole" with this new performance, making it an overwhelming eight in music broadcasting.

Through this activity, IVE simultaneously demonstrated an expanded narrative and musical spectrum. Those who have delivered the message of "self-confidence" centered on "I" have redefined IVE's narcissism by expanding their eyes to "we" in this album. These attempts were well received by the public and led to various grades. "Bang Bang" dominated major music charts in Korea and became the first song released in 2026 to record a perfect all-kill (PAK), achieving the sixth PAK in the team's career. At the same time, major domestic weekly charts also swept the top spot.

The response from the global market was also enthusiastic. The U.S. Billboard praised IVE's newsletter, saying, "We have opened a new era to expand the meaning of the name IVE." "Bang Bang" has been on Billboard's "Global 200" and "Global (excluding the U.S.)" charts for two consecutive weeks, and its second regular album has entered the top of Spotify's global charts, proving its strong music power across all tracks.

Through his agency Starship Entertainment, IVE said, "I thought a lot about it and worked hard to show you a new look while preparing for the second full-length album, and I think it was a memorable activity for a long time because many people, including Dive (official fan club name), showed great love."

"I'm really happy that I got the first place as a gift to commemorate the last performance, and thank you again for showing a lot of love for both 'Bang Bang' and 'Black Hole'. We will have a fan concert and a world tour soon, so please continue to support us," he added.

During the two-week period from the 26th of last month, IVE provided a dreamy mood of "Black Hole" and a reversal charm that exchanged the energetic charisma of "Bang Bang." On the "Black Hole" stage, IVE showed a variety of performances using a long table, and on the "Bang Bang" stage, he left a strong addiction with EDM sound and point choreography such as "Keeping Dance," "Shoulder Dance," and "Aaya Dance." In addition, it received a lot of love not only for the choreography challenge with various artists but also for SNS background music and received great response.

Meanwhile, IVE will hold the "2026 IVE Fourth Fan Concert 'DIVE Into IVE' (2026 IVE THE 4TH FAN CONCERT 'DIVE Into IVE'" at Incheon Inspire Arena from the 21st to the 22nd and meet with fans.
