IVE (An Yujin, Gaeul, Rei, Jang Wonyoung, Liz, Leeseo) proved their unrivaled presence this year by sweeping multiple awards at AAA 2025.



On December 6 at Kaohsiung National Stadium, IVE took home three major titles at the 10th Anniversary Asia Artist Awards 2025: the Grand Prize (Song of the Year), AAA Best K-pop Record, and AAA Best Artist.



With the success of their pre-release track “REBEL HEART” and title track “ATTITUDE” from their 3rd mini album, as well as their 4th mini album XOXZ, IVE delivered consecutive hits. Building on their signature theme of “self-confidence,” the group expanded their perspective from “me” to “us,” delivering messages of empathy, comfort, and solidarity with sincerity. Their multiple wins at this year’s AAA 2025 reaffirmed the powerful impact of their journey.



IVE also demonstrated the enduring strength of the “IVE Syndrome” by winning Song of the Year again—after first achieving it at AAA 2022 with “LOVE DIVE,” they earned the award once more with “REBEL HEART.”



Through Starship Entertainment, IVE shared, “It feels like the time we’ve spent running together with DIVE (our official fan club) all year has been rewarded with this big honor. Above all, knowing that so many people resonated with our story makes us truly emotional.”

They added, “REBEL HEART is especially meaningful to us. It’s a song that brings comfort and makes us think of the people we cherish. We hope it becomes that kind of song for you as well.”



Along with their award achievements, IVE lit up the stage with a powerful performance. Wearing romantic pink-toned outfits, they opened with “XOXZ,” showcasing captivating live vocals. During “ATTITUDE,” they delivered a bold performance across the extended stage, even recreating Rei’s viral “Rampaging Guinea Pig” challenge moment with actors Park Bogum and Sato Takeru—earning explosive cheers.



One particularly special moment was the first reveal of their “Beep Beep (♥beats)” stage, previously seen only at concerts. IVE charmed the audience with a kitschy performance that highlighted the song’s witty lyrics.



The finale was “REBEL HEART.” With solid vocals and expressive delivery, IVE created an emotional, flower-petal-like performance that felt like a message of encouragement to “all of us,” bringing the stage to a breathtaking close.
