Girl group IVE (IVE, An Yu-jin, Gaeul, Rei, Jang Won-young, Liz, Lee Seo) has once again demonstrated their immense power in Japan with a platinum certification from the Recording Industry Association of Japan.

According to the gold disc recognition works announced by the Recording Industry Association of Japan on the 10th, 2026, IVE received platinum certification for their fourth Japanese album 'LUCID DREAM'. The platinum certification from the Recording Industry Association of Japan is awarded to works that have achieved cumulative shipments of over 250,000 copies.

Released in May, 'LUCID DREAM' immediately topped Oricon's 'Weekly Combined Album Ranking', marking the group's third time reaching number one on this chart. It also claimed the top spot on the 'Weekly Album Ranking', achieving a double crown on Oricon's weekly music charts, and set this year's highest record for overseas female artists with first-week sales of 120,000 copies.

Amidst sweeping major local charts including number one on Billboard Japan's 'Weekly Album Sales' chart, the addition of platinum certification from the Recording Industry Association of Japan further confirmed IVE's unparalleled presence in Japan.

IVE recorded their highest-ever audience count by mobilizing a total of 127,000 spectators through their Japanese dome tour, which included performances at Kyocera Dome Osaka and Tokyo Dome as part of their second world tour 'SHOW WHAT I AM'. In particular, this achievement was highlighted daily by Nikkan Sports, Sankei Sports, Sports Hochi, Sports Nippon, and Daily Sports, five major sports newspapers in Japan. It was also covered on major broadcast programs such as Fuji TV's 'Mezamashi TV' and TBS's 'THE TIME', underscoring IVE's formidable local influence and high level of public interest.

IVE further expanded their presence through local broadcasts. Since their debut, they have consistently broadened their connection with the public by appearing on NHK's popular music program 'Venue 101' and TBS's popular variety show 'Snow Man ni Shite Kudasai SP'. During this 'LUCID DREAM' promotional period, they appeared on TBS music broadcast 'CDTV Live! Live!' and Nippon TV's 'THE MUSIC DAY', and made a special appearance as the only K-pop artist on TV Asahi's 'Music Station 1500th Episode Summer 2-Hour Special', firmly imprinting their powerful presence.
