The teaser for season 5 begins with a welcome ceremony for IVE, who have returned from their world tour 'SHOW WHAT I HAVE', covering 37 shows in 28 cities across 19 countries, including Korea, Europe, Asia, North America, and South America. The welcome ceremony, adorned with a banner reading 'Celebrating IVE's Triumphant Return from the World Tour', showcases the group in an upgraded form.

The first episode features IVE's visit to a Korean sauna. After completing their world tour, IVE takes a moment to relax in the hot rooms, but soon engages in various games to entertain their fans. During the essential snack time at the sauna, the members crack eggs on each other's heads, providing laughter to viewers.

In a game played on a reflexology mat, Rei meets 'Annyeongz' An Yujin and Jang Wonyoung, and is eliminated without much resistance, drawing attention. Viewers are already showing keen interest in who will emerge victorious. The intense games and the unique chemistry and characters of the six members promise to unfold in an exciting manner.

'1,2,3 IVE' has been a reality show since IVE's debut, featuring a variety of content including healing, mystery acting, and entertainment. Each season has captured IVE's charm in diverse and fresh ways, and anticipation is high for what season 5 will bring.
