The group IVE (IVE, An Yoo-jin, Gaeul, Reiyu, Jang Won-young, Liz, Lee Seo) successfully concluded its music show activities for "Looks Can Kill," showcasing its presence both on and off stage.

IVE put the final period to its music show promotions for the new mini-album "Looks Can Kill" with the broadcast of SBS's "Inkigayo" on the 1st.

Through this activity, IVE expanded the message of "self-confidence" it has conveyed since its debut into that of a "girl hero." The group unfolded the story that anyone can be the protagonist and hero in their own life through IVE's signature confident energy and powerful performance. It once again clearly revealed its unique color.

Through its agency, Starship Entertainment, IVE stated, "This album felt fresh as a spin-off project that contains a slightly different story while connecting with the image we have shown so far. When we first heard about the 'girl hero' concept, we were excited to see what kind of stage we could present, and we wanted to express it in our own fun way." The group added, "Thanks to the support of DIVE (the official fan club name), we were able to perform on stage happily and felt joyful. Going forward, we want to create many good memories with DIVE through music and stages that carry IVE's unique color" .

IVE began its comeback activities last month on the 19th with a "Looks Can Kill" performance at the "Spotify DIVE ACADEMY" event. On music shows, it further enhanced its presence with distinctive styling, such as hero suits, and dynamic group choreography.

In the spin-off film for the track "CRUMBS," the members enjoyed a party with baby DIVEs, conveying a kitschy and lovable atmosphere while revealing a different charm from the title track. On broadcasts and web content, they appealed to audiences with their approachable charm through witty banter and chemistry. They also showcased their musical capabilities and variety show sense by demonstrating solid vocals through various vocal content.

An Yoo-jin's ultra-fast choreography, reminiscent of teleportation, gained attention along with the nickname "Quickjin" (a portmanteau of Quick Silver and An Yoo-jin). Various versions of challenges, such as the "Gini Uri Gwaet-eo" and "Kkeung-sit Kkeung-sit" parts, as well as short-form content, received significant interest, pushing the cumulative total views of related videos on IVE's official SNS past 100 million.

Around the release of the new album, IVE recorded number one positions on various charts, including the Melon Global-K Chart, the Hanteo Chart Weekly World and Social Charts, the Circle Chart Weekly Download Chart, and YouTube Music Video Trending Worldwide. It ranked in the top tier of the Melon TOP100 and Bugs Daily and Weekly Charts, and also entered the Japanese Billboard Japan "Hot 100" and Oricon Weekly Digital Single Chart.

Remix tracks that allow listeners to enjoy "Looks Can Kill" in various moods are also being released. Previously, a remix featuring global producer Alawn and hip-hop musician Tiger JK, a Sped Up version that increases the tempo of the original track to emphasize speed and energy, and the "Inverness Remix" were made public. The "Captain Cuts Remix" will be released at 2 p.m. on the 4th.
