Ive beat Ive… 10-time winner of ‘Rebel Heart’

Group Ive (IVE: Ahn Yu-jin, Ga-eul, Lay, Jang Won-young, Liz, Lee Seo) beat Ive.

On the KBS2 ‘Music Bank’ broadcast on the 14th, Ive‘s third mini-album ‘Ive Empathy’’s pre-released song ‘Rebel Heart’ and title song ‘Attitude’ were both nominated for 1st place.

‘Rebel Heart’, which achieved a ‘Perfect All-Kill (PAK)’ on the domestic music charts, and ‘Attitude’, which has been on a steep rise day after day, are in a fierce battle. Amidst the intense attention of the premiere, the members divided into teams of three before the announcement of first place and cheered for ‘Level Heart’ and ‘Attitude’, making everyone laugh.

The first place winner was ‘Level Heart’. With this, Ive has lifted his 10th music show trophy with ‘Level Heart’, and his ‘Ive Empathy’ album has won 11 awards in total.

Ive said through his agency Starship Entertainment, “It was just a happy day. It was amazing that ‘Level Heart’ and ‘Attitude’ were both nominated for first place, and I was so happy that ‘Level Heart’ could receive an award again. I think it was thanks to DIVE (official fan club name) and many others who liked our songs that we were able to have such an amazing and meaningful experience. I sincerely thank you. ”We, Ive, will continue to do our best for our remaining activities, so please continue to watch over us and show us love,“ he said.

Ive had several ’Ive vs. Ive‘ battles on various music charts and music shows with the pre-released track ’Kitsch‘ and the title track ’I AM‘ from his first full-length album ‘I’ve IVE‘ in 2023. It is not easy for a team to form its own battle structure due to the simultaneous popularity of a pre-released track and a title track, but Ive surprised everyone by creating another ’Ive vs. Ive‘ battle on the music charts and music shows with the title track ’Rebel Heart‘ and ’Attitude‘ from this album. This is a part where you can feel the return of Ive, who is called the ’Queen of digital music‘.

’Rebel Heart‘ is a song that expresses the solidarity march of rebels with various narratives. Not only did it top the domestic music charts and remain ’fixed‘ at the top, it also entered Billboard‘s ’Global 200‘ and ’Global (excluding US)‘ charts for three consecutive weeks, and was also named in the ’Singles Sales‘ and ’Singles Downloads‘ rankings of the UK Official Charts, which is considered one of the two major global pop charts along with Billboard.

Meanwhile, Ive will appear on MBC’s ’Show! They will appear on ‘Music Core’ and perform the title song ‘ATTITUDE’ from their third mini album ‘IVE EMPATHY’.
