Girl group IVE has officially signaled their February comeback with the release of a “Coming Soon” film.
On the 21st, Starship Entertainment posted the first teaser, titled “Jang Wonyoung Ver.”, on IVE’s official SNS channels, marking the opening chapter of their upcoming release.
The video delivers an intense sense of immersion through stylish, atmosphere-driven direction. In a silent corridor, the sound of Jang Wonyoung’s whistle and the steady rhythm of her high heels heighten a sense of mystery and tension. Appearing in a white trench coat, Wonyoung fills the screen with a cold yet elegant aura.
In particular, her image holding a red apple while walking toward an unknown destination sparks strong curiosity, evoking an iconic scene from the film “Kill Bill” and amplifying anticipation for IVE’s new music. The video ends with a countdown pointing to February 9 at 6 p.m., building excitement for a pre-release track ahead of the group’s late-February comeback.
Opening this comeback era, Jang Wonyoung has steadily expanded her musical involvement through active participation in songwriting. She is credited as a lyricist on the title tracks “ATTITUDE” from IVE’s 3rd mini album and “XOXZ” from their 4th mini album, contributing to the group’s message and identity. She also ranked No. 1 in the girl group individual brand reputation index as of January 2026, reaffirming her strong musical influence and public presence.
This comeback comes approximately six months after the release of IVE’s 4th mini album “IVE SECRET” last August, drawing heightened attention from both domestic and global listeners as the group launches their first release of the year.
IVE, set to return in late February, will continue to build anticipation by unveiling a variety of content following the “Coming Soon” film.
