IVE (An Yujin, Gaeul, Rei, Jang Wonyoung, Liz, Lee Seo) will return on the 25th with their mini album 'IVE SECRET'.
The agency Starship Entertainment announced the comeback on the 25th through the moving poster of the fourth mini album 'IVE SECRET' posted on IVE's official SNS channel on the 31st of last month.
The released moving poster captured attention by utilizing member-specific objects that reflect the unique personalities of the six members. Unique objects such as baby animals with wings, a moving paper crane, a tumbler, and a toy gun with wings coming out of the barrel appeared, hinting at different symbolism and meanings, stimulating fans' curiosity.
In particular, the back view of the members holding objects creates an atmosphere as if they are hiding something, further enhancing the secretive and dreamy mood of the new release. Additionally, the phrase "'XOXZ' COMING SOON" posted on SNS hints that the title track is 'XOXZ', raising expectations for the comeback.
'IVE SECRET' is the new release about seven months after the third mini album 'IVE EMPATHY', which was released in February. IVE proved their strong album power by achieving five consecutive million sellers with 'IVE EMPATHY', and they made a distinct presence by winning a total of 15 music show trophies with the pre-release track 'REBEL HEART' and the title track 'ATTITUDE' ('REBEL HEART' 11 wins, 'ATTITUDE' 4 wins).
On the 25th, IVE will continue their success with the new album 'IVE SECRET' and the title track 'XOXZ'. Previously, they received explosive responses from global fans by unexpectedly previewing part of the title track 'XOXZ' at the '2025 SBS Gayo Daejeon Summer'. Expectations are high for their activities that will dominate playlists this year.
