Six-member STARSHIP Entertainment girl group whose self-confident pop identity grew from “ELEVEN” and “LOVE DIVE” into global touring and the 2026 full-album era.
Profile
IVE debuted under STARSHIP Entertainment on December 1, 2021 with six members: GAEUL, ANYUJIN, REI, JANGWONYOUNG, LIZ and LEESEO.
The group quickly established a catalog built around confidence, self-definition and polished pop production through songs including “ELEVEN,” “LOVE DIVE,” “After LIKE,” “I AM,” “Baddie,” “REBEL HEART” and “ATTITUDE.”
On February 23, 2026, IVE released its second full-length album REVIVE+. The album includes group title tracks “BLACKHOLE” and “BANG BANG” alongside individual songs for all six members, expanding the group’s collective identity while giving each member a distinct solo-stage moment.
IVE also continued its second world tour, SHOW WHAT I AM, through 2026. The tour expanded across Asia, Oceania and North America, including the group’s first Canadian concerts and a series of U.S. arena dates.
