IVE's 'BANG BANG' Tops Charts, Sets New Records Ahead of Global Tour

The K-pop group IVE (members An Yujin, Gaeul, Rei, Jang Wonyoung, Liz, and Leeseo) has achieved another significant milestone.

According to various music charts, IVE's pre-release double title track 'BANG BANG' from their second full album 'REVIVE+' has claimed the number one spot on Melon's monthly chart. It also topped the monthly chart on Genie Music, securing a double crown for March. The group maintained the number one position on Melon's weekly chart for five consecutive weeks and on Genie Music for six consecutive weeks, showcasing their strong presence in the music scene.

This achievement is particularly noteworthy as it comes after the conclusion of their promotional activities for the second album. 'BANG BANG' continues to rise steadily across major domestic music platforms, solidifying its long-term success.

Previously, IVE achieved a triple crown and won nine music show awards with 'BANG BANG' and another double title track 'BLACKHOLE.' Since their debut, they have amassed a total of 83 wins.

IVE is set to embark on a global journey. Starting in April, they will perform at the Kyocera Dome in Osaka, Japan, and continue their 'IVE WORLD TOUR 'SHOW WHAT I AM'' across Asia, Europe, and the Americas, connecting with fans worldwide. They recently made their debut appearance on the American morning show 'Good Day LA,' where they shared insights about their world tour, heightening anticipation.

IVE will kick off their second world tour 'SHOW WHAT I AM' on April 4th in Kuala Lumpur and continue with a North American tour in July, marking a significant step in their global expansion.
