IVE (아이브)

IVE is a South Korean girl group formed and managed by Starship Entertainment, consisting of six members: An Yujin, Gaeul, Rei, Jang Wonyoung, Liz and Leeseo. Two of the members, An Yujin and Jang Wonyoung, had already gained public recognition before debut through their participation in the survival show Produce 48 and subsequent membership in the project group IZ*ONE, with Jang Wonyoung serving as its center.

IVE officially debuted on December 1, 2021 with the single «ELEVEN», which became one of the most successful debuts by a girl group, racking up tens of millions of YouTube views within days and charting well on South Korea's Gaon chart as well as in Japan. The group secured its first music show win just a week after debuting, an unusually fast breakthrough that set the tone for their rapid rise.

Their 2022 comeback single «LOVE DIVE» outperformed even their debut, selling well over 100,000 copies in its first day of pre-release and earning IVE major industry recognition, including Song of the Year honors at both the MAMA Awards and the MelOn Music Awards. They followed this with further hits such as «After LIKE», «Baddie», «BANG BANG» and «해야 (HEYA)», establishing a sound built on bold, hook-driven pop with strong electronic and R&B influences, and cementing their place among the leading fourth-generation K-pop girl groups.
