Six Charms and One Team: The Evolution of Ive, the ‘Hexagonal Girl Group’

New music with more color and conviction, storytelling with ’emotion’ and ’empathy’

‘K-pop’s unrivaled presence’ I.V. aims for its best moment once again with confident new music. Based on their signature identity of “self-confidence,” the team’s colors have been revamped to add a different appeal. The music is more robust, but the authoritative gestures and confident attitude are still there. It’s the beginning of another transformation derived from self-assurance.

It’s also impressive that she’s been able to draw on a wide range of genres while maintaining her original colors. While still talking about “myself,” this album arouses emotional curiosity from a more mature perspective. This is how Ive’s new style will continue to expand, with a sense of change and unpredictability.

Love and understanding…expanded empathy.

While Ive’s previous works have portrayed her as full of narcissism, this time around, she’s shown empathy from a more diverse perspective. In a mature and different way. While maintaining Ive’s unwavering subjectivity, the music and performances gain the empathy of the ‘era’ and ‘generation’. In addition, the members embodied each character to create a story of becoming one.

“WE ARE REBELS in OUR HEART” … A solidarity march of ‘rebels’ ‘REBEL HEART’

The title song, “REBEL HEART,” emphasizes “camaraderie” with the goal of comfort and empathy. With various narratives

depicting a solidarity march of ‘rebels’, ‘REBEL HEART’ is a song with colorful vocal harmonies and a soaring chorus, and the sweet strings and uptempo drums create a rich sound.

The majestic sound of the song, along with the uplifting lyrics, gives it a sense of a twist.

“I’ll decide my mood”, unmistakable self-assurance…‘Diva’ Ive’s ‘ATTITUDE’

The double title track “ATTITUDE” is about a situation that cannot be changed, and the only thing that can be changed is my “attitude” to accept the situation. It is a song about accepting the unchangeable situation “cheerfully” and proves IVE’s regal charm full of self-assurance. The song also samples Susan Vega’s “Tom’s Diner” and has a powerful melody that you can’t forget once you hear it. In addition, Seo Ji-eum, member Jang Won-young, and ‘REBEL HEART’ lyricist Nietzsche participated in the song’s lyrics, adding to its completeness.

The song’s familiar melody, groovy rhythm, and addictive chorus are enough to show off its presence. More intense than the heat of summer and crisp and clear than the cold of winter, it conveys Ive’s unique energetic vibe to the fullest.

The third EP connects IVE’s identity and introduces a new topic of ’empathy’. IVE, who has been aiming for completion rather than growth since his debut, expands infinitely into this new world. With newly unfolding images, new music with the pleasure of reversal, and performances of unquestionable conviction, Ive’s colors will become even more vivid.
