IVE (An Yujin, Gaeul, Rei, Jang Wonyoung, Liz, Leeseo) has officially wrapped up promotions for their fourth mini album IVE SECRET. Their final stage on SBS Inkigayo on September 7 ended with a special moment: youngest member Leeseo, who also serves as the show’s MC, personally handed the group their third first-place trophy on a major network music program.
🏆 Triple Crown With “XOXZ”
The title track XOXZ secured No.1 on KBS2 Music Bank, MBC Show! Music Core, and SBS Inkigayo, making it a triple crown win. The achievement marked a meaningful finale to their promotional cycle.
🎬 Teasers and Concept Storytelling
Before the album release, IVE teased fans with a sneak peek performance of XOXZ at the 2025 SBS Gayo Daejeon Summer. The comeback was further amplified by multi-layered teaser content inspired by the album theme “SECRET,” introducing concepts such as the self-driven EVIL CUPID and the alluring but dangerous COVER GIRL.
🎤 Music Show Stages and Member Roles
IVE delivered polished live stages and captivating performances throughout two weeks of promotions. Rei appeared as a special MC on Music Bank, while Leeseo shined as Inkigayo’s MC, showing off the group’s chemistry and charm both on and off stage.
📺 Variety Show Highlights
The members also left their mark on popular programs, from KBS2’s Fun Restaurant to MBC’s Hangout With Yoo, as well as viral web shows like Limousine Service, Workman, and Uju Record. Rei launched her solo YouTube series Ddarahaebolle-i, further expanding the group’s visibility across platforms.
📈 Continuing the IVE Syndrome
IVE has maintained strong momentum throughout 2025. Earlier this year, they achieved a Perfect All-Kill on Korean charts with pre-release single Rebel Heart, followed by title track Attitude which earned 15 music show wins. Their IVE EMPATHY album cemented the ongoing “IVE Syndrome.” This time, XOXZ added another chapter, topping charts and winning over global audiences.
