IVE

IVE is a six-member K-pop girl group formed by Starship Entertainment, consisting of members Gaeul, Yujin, Rei, Wonyoung, Liz, and Leeseo. Debuted on December 1, 2021, in South Korea, they released the single album *ELEVEN* on the same day, which established the group as one of the most commercially successful acts to emerge from the fourth generation of K-pop. Their follow-up singles *LOVE DIVE* (2022) and *After LIKE* (2022) continued their momentum, with *After LIKE* in particular becoming one of the defining K-pop tracks of that year. IVE's appeal is built around a confident, self-assured concept that distinguishes them from the more innocent or cute-coded aesthetics common in fourth-gen girl groups. Members Wonyoung and Yujin, both former members of IZ*ONE, brought an existing fanbase to the group's debut, and the group has since built one of the more devoted fandoms in the current K-pop landscape. Their consistent output and strong visual identity have made them one of the leading acts in the genre's current era.
