The group IVE (Ahn Yu-jin, Ga-eul, Lay, Jang Won-young, Liz, Lee Seo) achieved 5 crowns on music shows with their pre-released song ‘REBEL HEART’.

According to the official SNS of Mnet ‘M Countdown’ on the 30th, IVE won 1st place on the last week of January on ‘M Countdown’ with their new album‘s pre-released title song ‘REBEL HEART’. That day, the ‘M Countdown’ broadcast was replaced with a highlight broadcast, and the #1 song was announced at the end of the broadcast.

With this, not only did Ive take #1 for the second week in a row despite the cancellation of ‘M Countdown’, but he also set a record of winning #1 on a music show five times with only a pre-released song.

Ive said through his agency Starship Entertainment, “I feel like I received a surprise gift right when my comeback is just around the corner. I think there were only happy moments while promoting ‘Rebel Heart’, so I’m so grateful that you gave me #1 again.” He continued, “Starting on February 3, we at Ive will make sure to bring even greater happiness to Dive. The title song ‘Attitude’ that will be released then is also a song that our members really like. He added, ”I hope Dive looks forward to it a lot.“

‘Revel Heart’, released on the 13th, is the pre-released title track of Ive‘s third mini-album ‘Ive Empathy’, which will be released on February 3rd. ‘Revel Heart’ has not only entered the top ranks of major music charts at home and abroad since its release, but also continued its good performance on the latest chart (dated February 1) announced by Billboard, an American music media outlet, on the 28th, ranking 51st on the ‘Billboard Global Excl. US’ and 97th on the ‘Billboard Global 200’.

In addition to the extraordinary power of the music source, the ‘Revel Heart’ challenge is also generating a lot of buzz. On the day of release, the members’ dance challenge videos posted on the global short-form video platform ‘TikTok’ surpassed 24.96 million cumulative views with just two videos, and the emoji challenge that highlighted the chemistry between the members and the band challenge in which famous domestic bands sang the ‘Revel Heart’ chorus to highlight each band‘s unique characteristics also garnered enthusiastic responses from global music fans.

Ive will make an official comeback on February 3 with the release of their third mini-album ‘Ive Empathy’ and double title track ‘Attitude’.
