IVE Celebrates 4 Years With Million Sellers and a World Tour That Shows No Limits

Tuesday, December 02, 2025

IVE celebrated their fourth debut anniversary with achievements that underline why they remain one of Kpop’s most powerful acts. Since their debut in 2021 with the first single ELEVEN, the group has continued to grow without pause and has secured their place as icons of the genre.

2025 became the year that proved their dominance across music charts, album sales, live performances, and global recognition. IVE expanded their artistic story with the mini third album IVE EMPATHY which shifted the message from me to us. The pre release track REBEL HEART became known as an IVE style cheering song that delivered comfort, camaraderie, and a sense of unity to listeners worldwide. They widened their musical spectrum and earned strong praise for it.

In August, IVE released the mini fourth album IVE SECRET and achieved their seventh consecutive million seller based on total album sales. From LOVE DIVE in 2022 to IVE EMPATHY and IVE SECRET, the group sold over one million copies for seven albums in a row and proved both power and longevity. The group also reached global presence with a number one ranking on the Billboard Emerging Artist chart, adding another milestone to their list of wins.

Their tracks continued to sweep domestic charts. REBEL HEART achieved Perfect All Kill on Korean platforms Melon, Genie, Flo, Vibe, and Bugs across realtime, daily, and Top 100 charts. This became their fifth Perfect All Kill following After LIKE, Kitsch, I AM, and Baddie. Music show trophies only stacked higher. IVE collected 11 wins with REBEL HEART, 4 wins with ATTITUDE, and 5 wins with XOXZ, bringing their total music show crown count to 74 since debut.

Awards followed them through the entire year. They secured major wins at The 39th Golden Disc Awards, the 32nd Hanteo Music Awards, Asia Star Entertainer Awards 2025, The 34th Seoul Music Awards, 2025 K World Dream Awards, The Fact Music Awards, and Korea Grand Music Awards including the Grand Song honor. At MAMA 2025 they won Global Trend Song, Favorite Global Performer, and Favorite Female Group. Across the year IVE claimed 19 trophies at major ceremonies.

Members also led cultural trends. Ray won Best Trend Leader at TikTok Awards 2025 and popularized challenges like the 폭주기니 choreography trend. Jang Wonyoung carried the phrase 럭키비키 into mainstream positivity culture that spread across MZ youth and beyond.

To celebrate this milestone each member shared heartfelt messages:

Ahn Yujin said the four year journey feels meaningful. She thanked DIVEs for supporting two mini albums this year and credited fans for every achievement including award wins.

Gaeul reflected on unforgettable moments from Lollapalooza Berlin and Paris to Rock in Japan Festival. She promised to remain an artist DIVEs are proud of.

Rei said the four years passed quickly and growth was clear. Preparing for the second world tour reminded her how precious every moment with fans is.

Jang Wonyoung shared emotional memories of global stages and said IVE exists because DIVE does. She hopes their music continues to shine for fans.

Liz said the year was special with new sounds and performance memories. She thanked fans deeply for every stage and asked for continued support.

Leeseo expressed gratitude for the four years spent with DIVEs and promised to return with even better performances and joyful memories ahead.

IVE stands on a four year foundation built on million sellers, sold out domes, festival stages across continents, and unstoppable cultural impact. The next chapter looks even brighter.

Ahn Bo-hyun and Lee Joo-been Ignite a New Season of Love in Spring Fever

Friday, November 28, 2025

Prime Video today announced the launch of Spring Fever, a captivating new Korean romance comedy series starring Ahn Bo-hyun (Flex X Cop, See You in My 19th Life, Yumi’s Cells) and Lee Joo-been (The Divorce Insurance, Twelve, Money Heist: Korea – Joint Economic Area). The series will premiere on January 5, with two new episodes released weekly in over 240 countries and territories, exclusively on Prime Video.

Spring Fever, directed by Park Won-gook and written by Kim Ah-jeong, shows the warm spring romance that melts frozen hearts between Yoon Bom (Lee Joo-been), a cold-hearted high school teacher, and Sun Jae-gyu (Ahn Bo-hyun), a man whose fiery passion turns a quiet village upside down.

With a star-studded cast including Ahn Bo-hyun, Lee Joo-been, Cha Seo-won, Cho Jun-young, Lee Jae-in, Jin Kyung, and Bae Jung-nam, the exceptional lineup of talent creates an ensemble worthy of anticipation. Adding to the excitement, the drama marks the highly anticipated return of director Park Won-gook, who captivated and received a lot of love from global audiences with his previous series Marry My Husband.

The scriptreading session has been revealed with images of the cast to heighten anticipation. Director Park Won-gook, writer Kim Ah-jeong, Ahn Bo-hyun (as Sun Jae-gyu), Lee Joo-been (as Yoon Bom), Cha Seo-won (as Choi I-jun), Cho Jun-young (as Sun Han-gyul), Lee Jae-in (as Choi Se-jin), Jin Kyung (as Seo Hye-suk), and Bae Jung-nam (as Jeong Jin-hyeok) gathered to read through the script together.

Ahn Bo-hyun fully immersed himself as Sun Jae-gyu, the unpredictable troublemaker who constantly stirs up the town and is also the uncle of Sun Han-gyul (Cho Jun-young). His expressive acting and subtle comedic timing, paired with his natural Busan dialect, filled the session with laughter.

Lee Joo-been transformed perfectly into Yoon Bom, the high school teacher who sparks the villagers’ curiosity, commanding attention. She brought her own color to Yoon Bom, the “outsider teacher” who hides a gentle heart beneath her cool exterior. Furthermore, Lee Joo-been and Ahn Bo-hyun showcased flawless rom-com chemistry, raising expectations for the fresh excitement the two will bring to the screen.

Cha Seo-won, Cho Jun-young, and Lee Jae-in also made striking impressions. Cha Seo-won transformed into Choi I-jun, an elite lawyer whose position between Jae-gyu and Bom heightens intrigue. Cho Jun-young plays Sun Han-gyul, the top student at Shinsu High School and Jae-gyu’s only nephew, while Lee Jae-in appears as Choi Se-jin, Han-gyul’s rival and self-proclaimed anti-fan. Their blend of rivalry and youth romance promises vibrant storytelling.

Additionally, a lineup of scene-stealing teachers—including Jin Kyung, Bae Jung-nam, Kim Beong-choun, Oh Man-seok, and Jung Young-ki—further enhances the drama’s charm.

Ahn Bo-hyun commented, “This drama features characters with visuals unlike anything I’ve seen before. The script was incredibly fun, and I was drawn to playing an uncle for the first time as well as using dialect. I think viewers will enjoy a drama full of laughter.”

Lee Joo-been added, “The beautiful scenery, refreshing village setting, and witty humor are definite highlights. Not just Jae-gyu and Bom, but the playful chemistry between students and teachers is wonderful. There’s even a hidden character later on that viewers will enjoy discovering.”

Spring Fever signals the arrival of a romantic comedy that will appeal to all viewers. From its contrasting yet irresistible leads to the youthful stories of high school students, the drama is filled with charm.

Don’t miss the warm spring romance of Spring Fever, premiering January 5 on Prime Video, with new episodes every Monday and Tuesday.
