With this, Ive was honored with 8 trophies with 'I am'. Ive, who had previously won two trophies through the pre-released title 'Kitsch' without a separate broadcast promotion, has achieved a total of 10 trophies with two double title tracks from his first full-length album.

Through Starship Entertainment, Ive said, “I can’t believe that we can win first place again with ‘I.M’ even though we finished our regular album promotions. I really want to say thank you for sending so much love to everyone who listens to our songs. I am so thankful and I love our Dive (official fan club name), who will become the existence.”

While more than a month has passed since the end of their official activities, Ive, who has not only been nominated for No. All of 'Kichi' are running at the top of the charts, and are running at an unstoppable popularity.
