IVE are turning up the heat ahead of their comeback.

The group has unveiled the CHALLENGERS concept photos for their second full-length album REVIVE+, offering a bold visual preview of their upcoming pre-release track, BANG BANG. Shared through the group’s official social channels, the new images spotlight IVE’s wide-ranging visual spectrum and confident presence, reinforcing their status as one of K-pop’s most talked-about acts.

The concept photos arrive in striking poster-style layouts, blending strong typography with natural landscapes and modern architecture. Each member brings a distinct mood, pairing fashion-forward styling with phrases that reflect attitude and self-assurance. From cool charisma to playful defiance, the visuals highlight six different personalities moving under one clear vision.

Group shots continue the theme, set against raw concrete backdrops with sharp color contrasts. The members project restrained charisma while hinting at a transformation tied to the new release, building anticipation for what lies ahead.

Excitement intensified earlier this month when IVE teased BANG BANG on TikTok, sharing a snippet of the track along with its point choreography. 

Built around EDM and electronic sounds, the song opens with a western swing-inspired intro before shifting into a fast, direct beat. The track’s sharp energy and powerful performance elements quickly drew global attention, fueling curiosity for the full release.

IVE will drop BANG BANG as a pre-release single on February 9 at 6 PM KST, ahead of the full album REVIVE+, which arrives on February 23. With visuals, sound, and momentum aligned, the group’s next chapter is already in motion.
