IVE's Youngest Member Leeseo Reflects on First Comeback as an Adult

IVE's youngest member, Leeseo, shared her thoughts on making her first comeback as an adult.

The group IVE (members An Yujin, Gaeul, Rei, Jang Wonyoung, Liz, and Leeseo) held a media showcase on the 23rd at Yes24 Live Hall in Gwangjin-gu, Seoul, to celebrate the release of their second full-length album 'REVIVE+'.

With Leeseo turning 20 this year, IVE is now a group of all adults. Leeseo expressed, "Look forward to seeing IVE as a group of all adults." She added, "I'm living dream-like days since becoming an adult, but I don't feel much has changed." She continued, "I want to remain happily as the youngest in IVE forever. This comeback as an adult is meaningful, and I have a strong desire to do well."

The other members have also noticed Leeseo's growth. Rei commented, "Before our second world tour last year, we had a concert in Seoul, and I could naturally see changes in Leeseo's aura, expressions, gestures, and stage presence. As an older sister, it was fascinating." Leeseo responded with a heart gesture.

The title track 'Blackhole' is a shuffle-based track that unfolds in a cinematic atmosphere reminiscent of 'Interstellar.' The expansive sense of space and cinematic sound enhance the immersion, musically embodying a world where extinction and birth coexist.

The album includes double title tracks 'BLACKHOLE' and 'BANG BANG,' as well as 'Hush,' 'Stuck In Your Head,' 'Fireworks,' 'HOT COFFEE,' and solo tracks from each member: Jang Wonyoung's '8,' Gaeul's 'Odd,' Leeseo's 'Super ICY,' Liz's 'Unreal,' Rei's 'In Your Heart,' and An Yujin's 'Force,' totaling 12 tracks.

IVE's second full-length album 'REVIVE+' will be released at 6 PM (KST) today.
