Ive ‘Holcsi’ X IU ‘Eleven’… Color Switch was such great content (Palette)

Group Ive and singer IU have met.

On the 20th, a new episode of ‘IU‘s Palette’ titled ‘’I‘Shoot Up with the Family (With IVE) Ep. 31’ was released on the YouTube channel ‘Igeum’.

On this day, Ive appeared as a guest on ‘IU’s Palette’ and showed off various talks and his musical abilities that have grown even more. Ive, who successfully completed his world tour last year, mentioned that he and IU, who were on a similar world tour around the same time, had overlapping concert venues a few weeks apart, saying, “Didn‘t you perform in Korea? We also had a concert, so we really wanted to go then, but the timing wasn’t right,” she said, expressing her regret.

IU also said, “We really wanted to have Ive as a guest, but his concert schedule overlapped with that. I thought, ‘Oh, Ive has a concert too. We’re going to do it without guests,‘ so it was the first time since our debut that we performed without guests.” IU continued, “If you need time to change your clothes or your hair, feel free to use me (as a guest). The ’I‘ family can do that much,” and Ive, who couldn’t hide his surprise at IU‘s surprise remark, soon replied, “We’ll come out to support you,” creating a warm atmosphere.

Ive also shared his thoughts on successfully completing his first world tour that lasted 11 months. After completing the world tour safely, some members felt relieved that they had done it, while Ga-eul confessed, “I thought I would feel relieved once it was over. However, when we had one last song left, I saw the fans up close, and they looked at me with an expression that said, ‘Today, I am the happiest in the whole world.’ I cried when I saw that smile.”

While the episodes related to the world tour provided enjoyment, Ive performed the live stage of the pre-released title song ‘REBEL HEART’ from his third EP album ‘IVE EMPATHY’, which was released on the 13th. The members showed off the musical abilities they have built up through the world tour, boasting high notes that stretch out and rich vocal volume, and the explosive live performance that unfolded over the band sound made the listeners feel a refreshing sense of liberation. Here, IU said, “You said you were nervous, but you‘re really good!” and continued to praise him, saying, “I think the song is really good.”

Ive, who successfully completed his first live with ‘Rebel Heart’, also mentioned his new album ‘Ive Empathy’, which will be released on February 3rd. Jang Won-young explained, “Until just now, ‘LOVE DIVE’ talked about self-love and the subjective self, but this time, we went a little further and focused on ‘empathy’,” and Lay said about his satisfaction with this album, “I like it so much. I hope you look forward to it a lot, as we have prepared a stage with different expressions and gestures than before,” she said, raising expectations for her comeback.

The behind-the-scenes footage of the ‘Lollapalooza Chicago’ (hereafter referred to as ‘Lollapalooza’) stage, which became a hot topic on various social media platforms last year, was also revealed. When IU said that it was cool how Ahn Yu-jin dealt with her hair piece falling off as if it were a performance, Ahn Yu-jin said, “I like to turn my head sharply, so I always check when I put the piece on. That day, I turned my head and thought it was safe, but I put in more pins and secured it a lot, and when I found out it fell off, I got mad because I thought it would look funny since we put so much effort into the stage,” revealing her honest feelings.

Ahn Yu-jin soon realized, “I guess it depends on how I do it so it doesn’t look funny. The lyrics just so happened to be ‘That’s my style‘, so she said ’This is my style‘” while spinning her short hair. IU expressed her admiration for Ahn Yu-jin‘s judgment and quick thinking, saying, ”She’s really a genius,“ and Ahn Yu-jin added, ”Even now, whenever I tie my hair up short, the members tease me by saying, “Huh? It‘s Lollapalooza.”“, causing everyone to burst into laughter.

Jang Won-young, who received favorable reviews for her explosive low-pitched rapping in ’Baddie‘ during ’Lollapalooza‘, also said, ”I’ve always wanted to try rapping, but I started out as a vocalist so I never had the chance to rap. However, in the song ’Baddie‘, that part was the only one that was like a singing rap, so I thought ’This is a festival, and since it‘s overseas, I’ll do it in a style that‘s different from Korean music shows,‘ and I was proud that they liked my different side of me,“ he revealed, showing off his ’professional genius‘ side.

Ive and IU, who gave us fun to watch with their colorful stories, had a ’color switch‘ time where they reinterpreted and sang each of their songs. IU reinterpreted Ive’s ’ELEVEN‘, and Ive reinterpreted IU‘s ’HOLCI‘, and Ive performed ’HOLCI‘ with the fantastic harmony of the six members’ vocal colors and unique singing rap.

Ive, who promised to meet IU again, said lastly, ”I earnestly ask you to listen to the pre-released ’REBEL HEART‘ a lot, and I hope you will give lots of love to the songs that will be released then, as the entire album will be released on February 3rd. And he left a message of encouragement, saying, “Please show lots of love for IU’s Palette.”

Meanwhile, Ive will make a comeback on February 3 with his third EP album, “IVE EMPATHY,” and the double title tracks, “REBEL HEART,” and “ATTITUDE.” Ive pre-released the title track “REBEL HEART” on the 13th and is currently appearing on various broadcasts and content to build up anticipation before his comeback.
