The song ‘REBEL HEART’ has been on a steady upward curve since its release, and is continuing its success, shaking up the upper ranks of Melon‘s chart, also known as the concrete chart, and showing off its powerful music power.

‘Revel Heart’ is characterized by a rich sound with colorful vocal harmonies, a soaring chorus, sweet strings, and up-tempo drums, and while maintaining the unique color that Ive has shown so far, he has completed an unprecedented ‘New Style’ by delivering warm comfort and empathy with a mature perspective and viewpoint.

Starting with Mnet’s ‘M Countdown’ on the 23rd of last month, Ive took home the first place trophy on KBS 2TV‘s ‘Music Bank’, MBC’s ‘Show! Music Core’, and SBS‘s ‘Inkigayo’. He also topped ‘M Countdown’ and ‘Inkigayo’ for two consecutive weeks, recording six crowns.

The music video also garnered attention immediately after its release. ‘Revel Heart’ took first place on YouTube’s most popular videos and most popular songs. Through the music video, the solidarity march of rebels with various narratives was depicted, and Ive‘s strong team color was expressed, making it impossible to take your eyes off him for a moment.

Ive, who heated up the comeback atmosphere with the pre-released title song ‘Rebel Heart’, released his third mini-album ‘Ive Empathy’ on the 3rd, and through the double title song ‘Attitude’ with different moods, Ive plans to prove his confident charm filled with even more self-confidence.

Ive will begin full-scale activities with the new song ‘Attitude’.
