IVE is back with a bold girl-crush transformation for their upcoming comeback.

Starship Entertainment recently revealed the trailer photos for the group's 4th mini album IVE SECRET through their official social media channels, further igniting anticipation.

Dark Styling and Fierce Charisma

In the new concept images, the members showcase striking black-themed styling paired with metal accessories, leather gloves, oversized suits, and sleeveless outfits. The photos hint at a powerful image change for the group.

Jang Wonyoung exudes refined elegance with her sleek, straight hair, while An Yujin captures attention with her chic charm. Gaeul stands out with a bleached updo, adding a fresh twist.

In the group shots, each member's unique aura shines. Rei pairs an oversized suit with a feathered hat, while Liz and Leeseo strike provocative poses that raise expectations.

'Evil Cupid' Reinterpreted

According to their agency, "Each member has reinterpreted the image of 'Evil Cupid' in their own way. Fans can look forward to seeing a new side of IVE, where all six members are visual centers."

Since debuting with ELEVEN, IVE has maintained a consistent message of self-love and confidence through hits like Love Dive, After LIKE, and Luvheart.

Their new album promises to expand IVE's artistic universe. "This comeback moves away from predictable storytelling and reveals hidden attitudes and multi-dimensional identities," said a representative.

The title track, XOXZ, is expected to deliver a strong addictive hook. The album's tracks will explore contrasting emotions—outer vs. inner, good vs. evil—coexisting within one team.

IVE SECRET will be released on major music platforms on August 25 at 6 PM KST.
