Production for a new album is already underway ahead of the February comeback, as the group ramps up for the bookended world tour.

Since debuting in December 2021, IVE has sold over one million copies across three singles, three EPs, and one full-length album.

The article emphasizes IVE’s ongoing global impact and momentum as they prepare for continued international promotion.

IVE topped Billboard’s Emerging Artists chart in October 2025 and entered the Billboard Artist 100, with their fourth EP charting on World Albums, Top Current Album Sales, and Top Album Sales, while lead track XOXZ rose on the Billboard Global Excl. U.S. list.

This release marks IVE’s first domestic comeback in about half a year since IVE SECRET dropped.

IVE has highlighted international exposure by headlining Lollapalooza in Berlin and Paris in consecutive years, plus appearances at Japan’s Rock in Japan Festival 2025.

IVE has established a dominant global presence, topping Billboard’s Emerging Artists chart and earning spots on multiple Billboard lists, with recognition including Best K‑pop Songs of the Year for 2025.

After their February comeback, IVE is set to launch their second world tour, SHOW WHAT I AM, opening with two Seoul shows in October and expanding across Asia, Europe, the Americas, and Oceania.

The SHOW WHAT I AM tour will feature dates in Kuala Lumpur’s Axiata Arena and Osaka’s Kyocera Dome, with additional stops planned across Asia, Europe, the Americas, and Oceania.

IVE’s track record includes consecutive million-seller releases and multiple grand prizes, underpinning a reputation often referred to as the ‘IVE Syndrome.’

In 2025, title track REBEL HEART earned a Perfect All Kill, with continued promotions for ATTITUDE and XOXZ, contributing to a haul of 20 music show trophies and 28 total awards.

The upcoming album arrives roughly six months after their fourth EP, IVE SECRET, released in August 2025.
