Group IVE (An Yujin, Gaeul, Rei, Jang Wonyoung, Liz, Leeseo) is returning with a new album in about eight months after concluding their second world tour.
Their agency, Starship Entertainment, released a series of comeback teaser videos for the new mini-album 'Looks Can Kill' on its official social media channels. The videos feature projection mapping announcing the new release on a downtown skyscraper. Along with the new album logo, the phrase 'IVE SPIN-OFF RELEASE 2026.10.19' appears, and a landmark of Seoul is revealed behind the skyscraper.
IVE plans to release a pre-release track on October 19 and drop the mini-album 'Looks Can Kill' on October 26. This comeback comes approximately eight months after their second full-length album 'REVIVE+', released in February. IVE previously achieved a perfect all-kill (PAK) as their double title track 'BANG BANG' topped major domestic music charts, marking the group's 6th PAK overall. On music shows, they won a total of 9 trophies, taking 8 wins with 'BANG BANG' and 1 win with 'BLACKHOLE'.
IVE kicked off their second world tour, 'SHOW WHAT I AM', in Seoul and proceeded through major cities in Asia, Oceania, and North America. They performed at venues in various regions including Kyocera Dome and Tokyo Dome in Japan, and held concerts in 8 cities across North America, including Toronto, Montreal, and Vancouver in Canada.
