‘Comeback’ Ive Ahn Yu-jin X Jang Won-young X Lee Seo are mysterious... Bohemian visual [DAY Cut]

Group Ive has revealed the first concept photos for their new album.

On the 7th, agency Starship Entertainment revealed the first concept photos for Ive‘s third EP album ‘IVE EMPATHY’ through Ive’s official SNS channel.

In the photos, Ahn Yu-jin, Jang Won-young, and Lee Seo exude a cool and free-spirited mood against the backdrop of a vast meadow. First, Ahn Yu-jin stares at the camera while holding a bow and a tree branch, wearing a checkered jacket and denim pants, creating an atmosphere that perfectly blends in with nature.

Jang Won-young shows off her overwhelming visuals with her bridge hairstyle. In particular, the vividness was enhanced by the directing that made it feel like a strong wind in the grassland, and the thick fur hat and injured arm were reminiscent of hunting, further stimulating curiosity about the concept of this album. Seo, standing in the wilderness with a backpack on her back in an outfit that gave off a bohemian mood, brought to mind a traveler, and she radiated charisma with her sharp gaze looking into the camera.

The concept photos this time caught attention because they reminded people of a ‘road trip’ with the members blending into nature and elements such as bows, tree branches, and backpacks. Even after this, Ive will continue to reveal various versions of concept photos and films, and on January 13th, they will continue their comeback fever by presenting the pre-released title song ‘REBEL HEART’ and music video.

They, who have perfectly digested various concepts each time and showed their unrivaled presence, plan to deliver the message of ‘empathy’ with this new album in a more mature way than their previous ‘self-love’. Ive‘s new album ‘Ive Empathy’ will be released on February 3rd at 6 PM (KST) through various online music sites.
