IVE Delivers Sweet Live Performance on IU's Palette
The group IVE (An Yujin, Gaeul, Rei, Jang Wonyoung, Liz, Leeseo) delivered a sweet live performance.

On the 20th, a new episode titled 'With IVE Ep.31' of 'IU's Palette' was uploaded on the YouTube channel '이지금'. IVE appeared as guests, showcasing their growth in music and engaging in various talks.

Appearing with vibrant visuals, IVE greeted IU and began a conversation about their recent activities. They expressed regret about missing IU's concert due to overlapping schedules during their world tour, saying, "We really wanted to go, but the timing didn't work out."

IU responded, "I really wanted to have IVE as guests, but our schedules clashed. I ended up performing without guests for the first time since debut." She added, "If you need time to change outfits or hairstyles, feel free to use me as a guest. We can do that as part of the 'I' family." IVE replied, "We'll support you," creating a warm atmosphere.

IVE shared their feelings about completing their first world tour over 11 months. While some members felt accomplished, Gaeul expressed mixed emotions, saying, "I thought I'd feel relieved, but seeing fans' happy faces during the last song made me tear up."

Amidst sharing world tour stories, IVE performed the pre-release title track 'Rebel Heart' from their third EP album 'IVE EMPATHY', released on the 13th. Their powerful vocals and rich sound showcased their musical growth, earning praise from IU, who said, "You said you were nervous, but you did so well! The song is really good."

After successfully performing 'Rebel Heart' live, IVE discussed their upcoming release 'IVE EMPATHY', set for February 3rd. Jang Wonyoung explained, "Previously, we focused on self-love and individuality, but this time, we emphasized 'empathy'." Rei expressed excitement, saying, "I love it. We've prepared different expressions and gestures, so I hope you look forward to it."

They also shared behind-the-scenes stories from their 'Lollapalooza Chicago' performance, which went viral last year. IU praised An Yujin for handling a hairpiece mishap like a pro. An Yujin revealed, "I love spinning my hair, so I always check the hairpiece. Despite securing it, it fell off, and I was worried it would look silly. But I thought, 'This is my style,' and spun my shorter hair." IU admired her quick thinking, calling her a genius.

Jang Wonyoung, praised for her deep rap in 'Baddie' during 'Lollapalooza', shared, "I always wanted to rap, but started as a vocalist. 'Baddie' had a singing rap part, and I decided to perform it my way since it was a festival abroad. I'm glad people liked it."

IVE and IU entertained with a 'Color Switch' segment, reinterpreting each other's songs. IU sang IVE's 'ELEVEN', while IVE covered IU's 'Strawberry Moon' with their unique singing rap, delighting listeners. IVE concluded by urging fans to listen to 'Rebel Heart' and look forward to their full album release on February 3rd, also asking for support for 'IU's Palette'.

Meanwhile, IVE is set to make a comeback on February 3rd with their third EP album 'IVE EMPATHY' and double title tracks 'Rebel Heart' and 'ATTITUDE'. They pre-released 'Rebel Heart' on the 13th and are currently appearing on various shows and content, building anticipation for their comeback.
