IVE’s Gaeul and Liz Spark Curiosity Ahead of ‘BLACKHOLE’ Comeback
Monday, February 16, 2026
With their comeback just days away, IVE members Gaeul and Liz are keeping the momentum strong.
On the 15th, Starship Entertainment unveiled new content for IVE’s upcoming second full-length album REVIVE+ through the group’s official social media channels. The campaign, titled THE NARCISSISTIC GURLS CAMPAIGN, spotlights Gaeul and Liz ahead of the album’s release on the 23rd.
Gaeul appeared with striking pink hair under the concept “Training: Face Control 101.” Moving between a neutral expression and a smile, she delivered the line “This is my customer service face,” confidently playing with different expressions while maintaining steady eye contact despite surrounding whispers. The content highlighted both her self-assurance and subtle humor.
Liz followed with “Training: Hot Girl Poses 101,” presenting a polished yet energetic image. Immersed in aerobic-style poses alongside members, she added playful charm with the exchange “are you free today?” and “no im expensive everyday.” Holding a book titled You Can Become Liz Too, she hinted at the self-driven message that will unfold through the new title track “BLACKHOLE.”
Beyond group promotions, both members continue to expand their individual artistry. Gaeul previously participated in choreography production for tracks including “♥beats” and “TKO,” showcasing her growth as a performer. Liz has strengthened her presence as a vocalist through OSTs, variety programs, and special solo stages at year-end music shows.
IVE’s upcoming album broadens their signature themes of self-love and confidence, shifting the narrative from “me” to “us.” The story connects organically to the title track “BLACKHOLE,” signaling the start of a new chapter. Following the strong chart performance of pre-release single “BANG BANG,” anticipation for the full comeback is at an all-time high.
IVE’s second full-length album REVIVE+ and its title track “BLACKHOLE” will be released on the 23rd at 6 PM KST.
