Who are IVE?
IVE (아이브) are a six-member girl group under Starship Entertainment: An Yu-jin, Gaeul, Rei, Jang Wonyoung, Liz and Leeseo. The official site’s profile page gives the debut date as 1 December 2021 and lists the record of that day as the first single ELEVEN. The name means “I HAVE = IVE” — the debut record’s own page says so, and the Japanese official site’s profile describes it as a name carrying the resolve to show what they have, in IVE’s own confident way.
The official fan club is named DIVE. Reporting the first recruitment on 22 February 2022, Newsis wrote that the name comes from DIVE IN TO IVE, the chant the group calls before its official greeting. The Japanese fan club runs under the name DIVE JAPAN, and its terms of membership state that Starship Entertainment placed its operation with Amuse Inc. on 1 April 2022.
The records and the stage
The discography the official site lists runs to two full-length albums, four EPs and three single albums. The most recent record is the second full-length album REVIVE+, released at 6 p.m. KST on 23 February 2026. Munhwa Ilbo reported that it carries 12 tracks, including the double title tracks ‘BLACKHOLE’ and ‘BANG BANG’, with a solo track from each of the six members. Before it stands the first full-length album I’ve IVE of 10 April 2023, whose title track is ‘I AM’.
The second world tour, SHOW WHAT I AM, opened at the KSPO Dome in Seoul from 31 October to 2 November 2025. In the same report Sports Kyunghyang put the first world tour, SHOW WHAT I HAVE of 2023, at 37 shows in 28 cities across 19 countries, seen by some 420,000 people. The North American dates ran through August 2026, and the photograph on this page was taken at the Seattle show on 7 August.
In Japan the group released the EP LUCID DREAM on 27 May 2026. Ten Asia reported that the Recording Industry Association of Japan’s July gold disc list, announced on 10 August, put the record past 250,000 units shipped and into its platinum column.
Where to start
The music video for ‘BLACKHOLE’, the title track of the second full-length album, went up on Starship Entertainment’s own STARSHIP channel on 23 February 2026. The group’s own channel carries its original content, including I-VIEW from the tour and the [IVE ON] and [IVE OFF] series. K-Culture Radar links to official uploads rather than rehosting them, so those channels are the place to watch.
