Ive Achieves First Triple Crown of the New Year, 7 Music Show Crowns

Group Ive (Ahn Yu-jin, Ga-eul, Lay, Jang Won-young, Liz, Lee Seo) achieved the first triple crown of the new year 2025.

Ive took first place on Mnet‘s ‘M Countdown’ aired on the 6th with the pre-released title song ‘REBEL HEART’ from their third mini album ‘Ive Empathy’. They have become the artists with the honor of winning the first Triple Crown of 2025, while also becoming the seven-time winners on music shows.

Through Starship Entertainment, Ive said, “First of all, I think that the reason we were able to win the first Triple Crown of 2025 with ‘Rebel Heart’ during our comeback stage with ‘Attitude’ on ‘M Countdown’ is because Ive had DIVE (official fan club) who have always cheered me on.” He continued, “We worked really hard preparing for this comeback to show a better side of ourselves to DIVE, who waited for us during our long hiatus due to our world tour. I am so grateful that not only DIVE, but also many people are recognizing and cheering us on. He said, “Happy New Year 2025, always be lucky and always fighting!”

On this day, Ive delivered an energetic vibe through his comeback stage with a familiar melody of the title song ‘Attitude’, combined with Ive’s signature lyrics that come from ’self-confidence‘ such as ‘What would I do if I cowered / Luck is always on my side’, ‘I’m that attitude‘, and cheerful choreography.

The pre-released song ’Rebel Heart‘, which achieved the first triple crown of 2025, is an addictive song with a combination of sweet strings and up-tempo drums, and is a song that depicts a solidarity march of ’rebels‘ with various narratives. Since its release on the 13th of last month, it has been ranked high on the charts of major domestic music sites such as Bugs, Melon, FLO, and Vibe. Following Korea, it also entered multiple charts on China’s largest music streaming platform QQ Music, the US music media Billboard, Billboard Japan, and the UK‘s Official Charts.

Ive will appear on KBS 2TV’s ’Music Bank‘ today (the 7th) to perform the double title track ’Attitude‘.
