IVE

Starship Entertainment's IVE (아이브) debuted on December 1, 2021, and immediately set the tone for what 4th-generation K-pop could look like: polished, self-assured, and commercially dominant from day one. The six-member group, whose name stands for "I Have," launched with "Eleven" and never slowed down. Six number-one singles on the Circle Digital Chart followed in rapid succession, including "Love Dive," "After Like," and "Baddie." Their 2023 debut album I've IVE won Album of the Year at the Melon Music Awards. 2024 marked a new chapter: Jang Wonyoung and An Yujin carried the group's commercial firepower while the IVE SWITCH EP delivered the top-ten single "Heya." They performed at Lollapalooza Chicago for the first time, the first K-pop girl group to do so, and returned to the festival in Berlin and Paris in 2025. IVE EMPATHY (February 2025) deepened the narrative with the group's sixth number-one single "Rebel Heart" and the top-ten follow-up "Attitude." IVE SECRET arrived later that year with "XOXZ" as the lead. Their SHOW WHAT I AM World Tour ran across Asia, North America, and Europe, with the Seoul leg in October 2025 featuring solo performance stages for all six members: Gaeul, Rei, Liz, Leeseo, and both main members. The second studio album REVIVE+ (February 2026) featured double title tracks "BLACKHOLE" and "BANG BANG" alongside six individual member solos, cementing IVE as one of the defining acts of the 4th generation.
