The group IVE (IVE: An Yujin, Gaeul, Rei, Jang Wonyoung, Liz, Lee Seo) has released a preview of the challenge for the title track from their new album, "Looks Can Kill."

On the 12th, IVE released a preview audio clip of "Looks Can Kill," which is set to be pre-released on the 19th. The group also unexpectedly posted a challenge video through its official social media channels, including TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube.

IVE, which has been generating buzz with a differentiated concept and diverse teaser content, revealed part of the new track's audio and its signature choreography for the first time through this early release of the challenge.

In the released video, An Yujin, Gaeul, and Jang Wonyoung appear against the backdrop of IVE's previously unveiled "Hero Academy." The three perform a dance routine in which they make gun shapes with their hands and mimic firing, capturing attention with an individualistic hero performance unique to IVE. Their powerful energy is evident through movements that extend their arms outward.

The catchy chorus repeating over the upbeat beat, along with the intense and witty lyrics "I kill them with the rhythm as if dancing" and "Looks can kill, we're so lethal," captivates the ears. The performance evokes IVE's fatal presence, which is radiated simply by their appearance.

"Looks Can Kill" begins with an intense synth pad rhythm that immediately grabs the listener's attention. Drums and electronic sounds blend over a heavy, rough bass, capturing a confident and energetic mood. It showcases IVE's overwhelming dominance, as if they end the competition the moment they appear.

The group's agency, Starship Entertainment, stated, "Seo Ji-eum, Lil Cherry, and Rei participated in the lyrics, conveying IVE's signature confidence and subjective attitude. The repeating chorus and witty lyrics combine to create a strongly addictive melody that is hard to forget once heard."

Meanwhile, IVE expanded its hero universe through the video for "HERO TRAINING CENTER: HERO COMICS" and concept photos in the "Hero Comics" version.

Through the tracklist, the group announced Gaeul's, Rei's, and Liz's participation in the songwriting process, as well as a prestigious lineup of contributors from both domestic and international scenes.

IVE will pre-release the title track "Looks Can Kill" on the 19th, followed by the release of the eponymous mini-album on the 26th, marking the start of its full comeback activities.
