About IVE

IVE were assembled by Starship Entertainment as the agency's first proper girl-group launch in the post-IZ*ONE era, with the deliberate strategy of building around the two faces — An Yujin and Jang Wonyoung — whose IZ*ONE tenure had already cleared the international-fandom barrier that most rookie K-pop groups have to spend their first eighteen months crossing. IZ*ONE, the project group formed via Mnet's Produce 48 reality competition in 2018, had disbanded in April 2021 after the maximum two-and-a-half-year contract built into the project format, and the post-disbandment scramble for the most-marketable IZ*ONE members became one of the most-watched talent-acquisition moments in modern K-pop. Yujin and Wonyoung re-signed with Starship — both members had been Starship trainees before being seconded to IZ*ONE — and Starship built IVE around them. The remaining four members came through the Starship trainee pipeline: Gaeul, the main rapper and oldest non-IZ*ONE member, joined Starship after winning a 2018 audition; Rei, the Japanese rapper and lead dancer, joined Starship in 2019 after being scouted in Tokyo; Liz, the lead vocalist, joined as a child trainee; and Leeseo, the maknae and visual, joined Starship in 2019 at age thirteen. The debut single ELEVEN landed on December 1, 2021, and immediately cleared the top of the Circle Digital chart, the Melon and Genie streaming platforms, and the Korean radio rotation, with first-week album sales of 100,000-plus copies — already a respectable mid-tier K-pop debut number, made remarkable by the speed at which it cleared. LOVE DIVE in April 2022 followed and became the song that crossed IVE into the mainstream Korean cultural conversation, anchored by the dance-pop choreography and the multi-million-view music video. After LIKE in August 2022 sampled Gloria Gaynor's I Will Survive and pushed the group's chart and streaming numbers further. The two singles, along with the debut Eleven EP and the second EP After Like, established IVE as the breakout fourth-generation girl group of 2022 alongside NewJeans and (G)I-DLE's commercial run. I've IVE, the debut full-length studio album, dropped in April 2023 with the title track I AM and became a million-seller — the fastest fourth-generation girl group album to clear one million copies in its first week. The track Kitsch served as the pre-release. Baddie, the lead single of the I've MINE EP released in October 2023, pushed the production scale higher and the choreography into more aggressive dance-pop territory than the earlier title-track template. Either Way ran as the second single from the same EP. The I've MINE comeback in 2024 led with Accendio and Heya, and the late-2024 IVE EMPATHY EP led with REBEL HEART — the title track that became the centrepiece of the SHOW WHAT I HAVE Tour 2024–2025. The first headline world tour, SHOW WHAT I HAVE, opened in Seoul at the KSPO Dome with a multi-night stand in late 2023, then routed through Asia in early 2024 (Tokyo, Osaka, Hong Kong, Bangkok, Manila, Jakarta), then to North America in the summer 2024 leg (Newark, Atlanta, Houston, Toronto, Chicago, Los Angeles), then to continental Europe and the UK in the fall 2024 leg (Paris, Berlin, Amsterdam, London), and continued into 2025 with additional Asian and Western dates. The fandom — DIVE — has built one of the most engaged fourth-generation girl-group communities on YouTube, TikTok streaming, and chart-coordination platforms, and the official light stick is called the IVE Light Stick (in DIVE-coloured purple) with the standard Bluetooth-synchronisation programming at every show.
