The 'MZ Wannabe Icon' IVE has heightened the excitement for their comeback by releasing trailer photos that highlight the concept of their new album.
On the 6th, their agency Starship Entertainment unveiled the trailer photos for IVE's third EP album 'IVE EMPATHY' through IVE's official SNS channels.
In the photos, IVE captivates with a dreamy yet natural charm. The members express various emotions with their unique expressions, and the warm color tones, collage editing, and doodles depict the moments of six youths.
In particular, the members' appearances from the third chapter of the 'EMPATHY!' trailer video released on the 5th were captured in individual, unit, and group photos, adding to the joy of waiting for their comeback.
First, An Yujin created a funky mood by pairing a denim jacket with leather pants, showing smiles and playful expressions. Gaeul showcased a casual charm in a crop top and training pants, expressing various emotions. Rei flaunted her 'concept master' side in a suit while holding an umbrella, either with a blank expression or with her eyes closed.
Jang Wonyoung boasted a hip yet girlish visual with a baseball cap, frilly dress, and fur jacket. Liz wore a pink hoodie that complemented her blonde hair while gazing at the camera, and finally, Lee Seo exuded a more mature vibe with a leather vest, unique dress, and long boots.
The unit photos were released featuring An Yujin and Jang Wonyoung, Gaeul and Liz, and Rei and Lee Seo. Posing as if they were sharing emotions by leaning on each other, holding hands, and smiling at one another, they embodied the theme of 'empathy' for this album, while their excellent expressions evoked smiles from fans with their 'special chemistry.'
In the group photos, IVE's unique team color stood out even more. They showcased their visuals while gazing at the camera and created a warm atmosphere by embracing a large heart object. Photos capturing the members' backs showed them turning back one by one with their arms crossed, further raising curiosity and anticipation for the new album.
Meanwhile, the response to the previously released 'EMPATHY!' trailer video has been overwhelmingly positive. The vivid acting and chemistry of the members have garnered attention not only from fans but also from the public, leading to it ranking first in YouTube's trending videos after its release, intensifying the excitement for their comeback.
On the other hand, IVE's new album 'IVE EMPATHY' is set to be released on February 3rd.
