"No Luck But Lucky"... IVE’s Comeback D-DAY


Girl group IVE is ready to make a bold statement in the K-pop scene with their confident 'attitude.'


According to their agency, Starship Entertainment, IVE (An Yujin, Gaeul, Rei, Jang Wonyoung, Liz, and Leeseo) will release their third mini-album IVE EMPATHY on February 3 at 6 PM (KST) across major music platforms, officially kicking off their comeback activities.
IVE previously teased their return by pre-releasing one of the album's double title tracks, REBEL HEART, on January 13. The song portrays a united march of rebels with diverse stories, offering comfort, empathy, and inspiration to fans worldwide. It received critical acclaim and even secured six music show wins, reaffirming IVE’s dominance as "queens of digital charts."


On February 3, IVE will unveil their second title track, ATTITUDE, showcasing a contrasting charm. The song samples Suzanne Vega’s Tom’s Diner and features vibrant synth sounds, a familiar melody, and an addictive chorus. Its lyrics emphasize the idea that while you can’t change certain situations, you can always change your attitude, promoting a cheerful acceptance of life’s unchangeable circumstances.


IVE EMPATHY builds on IVE’s signature identity of "self-assured confidence," adding new layers to their musical style. Since debut, IVE has championed the belief that true love starts with self-love. Now, they aim to expand this theme by exploring empathy for others, presenting an evolved identity. Their latest work spreads the message of "self-assurance" while introducing "empathy" as a fresh concept, raising anticipation for their future endeavors.


IVE’s third mini-album IVE EMPATHY and the double title track ATTITUDE will be available on major music streaming platforms starting February 3 at 6 PM (KST).
